Be
careful what you wish for. I have just
been on two weeks leave from work and I was wishing that I didn’t have to go
back to work yesterday.
I was
only at work a short time when my boss and the lady from personnel in head
office came to see me and advised me that I had been made redundant effective
immediately as they were restructuring the library.
So now
I am a lady of leisure with no money to enjoy it, still I have lots of craft
supplies to keep me going for the next few years.
I have
been working for The Salvation Army for nearly 24 years but because I have only
been working part time for the last two years the redundancy pay is only very
small. Still every little helps.
I won’t
be looking for another job as I am too old now (will be 68 in April) and my
health is not good.
I am
happy to be at home. I am just living
today and leaving the future in God’s hands.
I will have more time to make my cards. I am just sharing a very quick card I made to send in the post last night to a cyber friend in the Bear Lovers Stamping Group.
I used a lovely cute image "Ellie and Cookie" which is a digi stamp by Sherri Baldy from Scrapbook Stamp Society. Dark pink card behind layered onto light pink card embossed with Cuttlebug daisies. Stampin Up sentiment.
Thank you for you kind comment on my card Beautiful Day. Having just read your blog today, I must tell you how sorry I am to hear of your unexpected redundancy - that must have been a shock. However, your positive attitude shines through, and I trust that you enjoy many many years of happy retirement - and share your lovely cards with us all. Bless you, Ann
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann. I was getting so far behind at home and now I will be able to concentrate on my craft and not worry about having to go out.
