When I came to the UK, I didn’t have a plan. I was hoping to get a job, spend time with my family and eventually travel a bit. I was lucky enough to get a job at Superdry just two weeks after moving here. And then I was lucky enough to be able to get three weeks off so I could travel around Europe with my best friend. Everything is falling into place, like a puzzle.
My contract with Superdry was only for 3 months, and I was only meant to be doing about 8 hours a week. I’ve now been with them just over 4 months, and i’ve been working an average of 20 hours a week. Definitely not complaining, I’ve met some amazing people there, some that I think I’ll stay in touch with. But like everything, all good things must come to an end. They asked me to stay on permanently, but as the job wasn’t full time, I turned it down as I would be unable to move out of home with a part time job. But it’s okay, I had a back up plan. I signed up to a nannying agency months ago, had an interview back in May (OMG stopping this blog right here because as I am writing this outside, a SQUIRREL just wandered straight past me and is sitting on the fence a couple of metres away from me! Wouldn’t get that in NZ!) Anyway back to my interview, there is 3 kids in the family, they live in Surrey, and are looking for a live in nanny. After hearing about all the details, meeting the Mum and youngest daughter, I was offered the job. I said yes, as I was needing something else to do and this would be a great opportunity. So in a months time, I am once again, making the move to somewhere where I know absolutely no one. I get my own separated area of the house, with a hallway, bedroom and bathroom. Best of all, I get a car. Cannot wait to stop having to catch a bus everywhere! I am so excited to start my new job, it can’t come soon enough! Before I head to Surrey, I have a few other things to look forward too. V Festival, where I will be reunited with some girls from back home in NZ, and then we will be seeing Justin Bieber, Sia, Halsey (just to name a few) all live. After that, i’ll be heading down to Devon to see some family who I have never met, and stay with them on their farm. Can’t wait to explore another part of the UK. As much fun as it’s been in Chelmsford, I am ready for a change.
