And it has cheered me up immensely! My DD has just been offered a job with Tesco, on their graduate recruitment programme as a software developer. There were over 1000 applications for 12 places. And she was offered one of them.  I posted a couple of months ago about how proud I was of her for achieving a First Class Honours degree, all by distance learning. She was worried that her two disabilities (autism and a degenerative genetic disorder that requires her to use a wheelchair) would go against her when applying for jobs, but the recruiter told her she had the leadership qualities they were looking for, and they were very impressed with her performance. I am so proud of how she has turned her life around. Her mental health was atrocious, and ten years ago last week, she was so brutally raped that I thought she would never lead a normal life. But now, she has worked hard, she has achieved everything she set out to do, and will be working for one of the UK’s top companies. I could actually burst right now.  |

Lesley, that is phenomenal. After the rubbish week you’ve had, this is such amazing news. A well deserved proud mum moment for sure. Congratulations to your clever girl and the mum who raised her to be so fab.

A.MAY.ZING to quote CRH. You must be thrilled and she will be equally so. Just the lift you needed right now! What a great kid. (just as an aside, I'm another one wanting you to get a puppy.  ) |

(just as an aside, I'm another one wanting you to get a puppy. )Good grief, what are you all like?! Just don’t tell JoP. If she starts sending me pictures of puppies, my uncertainty will somehow result in a Great Dane turning up at the door, carrying a bindle of all his worldly possessions. 🤦🏼♀️ |
