Changed my day off at work, so went to work this morning. Had to keep reminding myself that I was off to work and not shopping😉 Still ran round like a lunatic today, making desserts, keeping the pot wash are today and keeping the salads topped up. Which is difficult enough, but when you haveContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post⛅️”

Delivery when it’s raining is not a fun job to do!! And add in the fact that the only other person in hates doing the delivery, and will do everything they can to get out of it, made it slow going this morning!! But I did it😁and then got on with putting the salad cartContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post ☔️”

Having a few issues at home at the moment. My nephew was staying with us. But after falling out, we’ve asked him to move out. So my mind hadn’t really been on work. I felt that the gossips were chatting about what happened, and I really didn’t want to get involved, all I want toContinue reading “Monday’s Post ⛅️”

Went to see my granddaughter dance today. She’s 5 going on 15😉she loves to dance. She had us in stitches a while back, she told her mum she wanted to be a pole dancer!! She was with her nanny at the time, and was dancing round a lamppost, singing she was a pole dancer😂 SheContinue reading “Sunday’s Post ⛅️”

Weather couldn’t make its mind up today. Delivery driver was already waiting this morning, no one in the restaurant this morning, so I had to turn on the lights and do the delivery myself!! Music on loud (if I’m up, then so is everyone else😉 we finally get a few people in, but I’ve unloadedContinue reading “Saturday’s Post 🌦”

At last, the weather today was a little cooler. Made the walk to and from work a little easier. After prepping salads it was potwash and cleaning. It’s delivery tomorrow so I needed to make sure the fridges are ready for tomorrow. Will we get more rain or even a thunderstorm tonight? It might bringContinue reading “Friday’s Post ⛅️”

The hottest day in the UK today. Delivery was a quick affair, throwing things (not literally) into the freezer before it starts to defrost. I’ll put that away later. The kitchen was a nightmare to work in, the only good thing, I work round the back, away from the ovens, so it’s not as hot.Continue reading “Thursday’s Post 🥵”

Oh that was a hot day!!! Popped up early to tidy Kim’s grave. Then into Morrisons to grab salad stuff for dinner. Lunch was with a good friend and we watched “The Ritual” it was a little confusing (we kept having a few flashbacks) but it was a good creepy movie, with a strange ending🤨Continue reading “Wednesday’s Post☀️”

One of those days today ….. We had a team meeting this morning, so it was an early start. Get to work, and everyone is outside, it’s not long till the meeting, but no one is moving indoors!! We finally get the meeting underway, and it’s ok, until the new manager asks if there areContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post☀️”

Monday at work was interesting…. hardly any stock to make up salads!!! So it was cross finger time and hoping it lasts till the end of service. I was hoping my manager would pop out and buy more supplies, but I was still waiting when I clocked out at 4!!! So Tuesday morning we haveContinue reading “Monday’s Post 🌤”

A quiet Sunday this week. Popped up to tidy Kim’s grave. Then into the Morrisons to grab groceries. Spent the afternoon washing, reading and listening to music. How did you spend your Sunday? 🦋

Weather was very bipolar today, we start off cold and wet, and by the evening we’ve had sun and showers, and now it’s a clear warm evening 🤨 Delivery was a tiny affair today, two pallets, and it was put away before I got there😁 so that made my job a whole lot easier today.Continue reading “Saturday’s Post ⛅️”

Friday ….. so here’s a drink to start your weekend. Cheers 🍻 Oh my days!!! I felt like I was triplets at one point🤨not only did I do my salads, I got to help on starters and desserts!!! It was so busy, and with fewer staff on, it was all hands on deck!!! It madeContinue reading “Friday’s Post 🌧”

Delivery day. And to make a change, we actually had a small delivery, with only what we needed on it😉so let’s hope this continues, until we actually have a walk-in fridge and freezers with a decent amount of food. With a management crisis, it’s all hands on deck. It made the day go quicker, butContinue reading “Thursday’s Post 🌤”

Day off today. Grabbed a quick coffee this morning with my friend, then caught up with her later for lunch and a scary movie at hers. Didn’t stop as long as I usually do, as I was off to pick my granddaughter up from school. Got to spend some time with Grace today. We watchedContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post 🌤”

Strange day at work today. It was delivery day, it arrives (yet another huge delivery)🙄 why they continue to order so much I don’t know. But it gets put away. No breakfast as we don’t have enough chef’s at the moment. So I got on putting delivery away, and sorting the prep for the saladContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post 🌤”

Oh boy what a day!!! It started well. I managed a coffee and a chat with my friend. Going to work was ok, it was when I got to work ….. We had no chef!!! The rota had been changed without telling anyone ….. so no breakfast!!! So I spent the next few hours cleaning!!!Continue reading “Monday’s Post ☁️”

Day off, so we went to visit my granddaughter. Putting washing out on the line, before I go out, I’m hoping it doesn’t rain. Popped up to visit my daughters grave. Spent the day playing schools, in her best school teachers voice, Grace told me to sit on the floor and start colouring in😊she isContinue reading “Sunday’s Post ☁️”

Had a helper today. Delivery went away really fast. And she sorted through the fridges. It’s made such a difference, but we will see how long it lasts (rest of the staff will find it a problem keeping it tidy)🙄 Hung a wash load out this morning. And one I got back from work itContinue reading “Saturday’s Post 🌤”

it’s Friday, so it’s time to have a drink. I couldn’t decide which cocktail to show you, so I found 6 recipes on one sheet. Grabbed a quick coffee with a friend before work. Another load of washing on the line. Friday sees two new chefs running the kitchen (they are only relief whilst theContinue reading “Friday’s Post 🌤”

My Day started off really well. Managed to grab a quick coffee with a friend. Washing went on the line. Then off to work. Delivery day, as per usual, more stock came in than was needed. And the stuff we actually needed, that now was no where to be seen!! I really don’t know howContinue reading “Thursday’s Post 🌤”

Day off, popped some washing on the line. Popped to tidy up my daughter’s grave. Then went into town where I met a friend for coffee. Then spent the afternoon with my friend, just being silly and chatting. This evening I spent time reading, reviewing and sorting out my blog page. How was your Wednesday?

Managed to hang a little washing out before I went to work this morning. Walked to work listening to an audio book. Delivery day again😉 just a small delivery, but with the backlog of last weeks salads, (if you remember, we’ve had issues with grills and fryers breaking, so the restaurant has had a fewContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post 🌤”

Another mad day at work. Broken machinery that needed fixing. A dishwasher that mysteriously breaks!!! So I spent most of my shift bent over washing stuff my hand!!! Then the backyard needed sweeping and the industrial bins needed moving!!! I’ve had a right workout today!! So whilst the restaurant was closed to the public, IContinue reading “Monday’s Post 🌤”

Old Photo of Me ….. Can you guess where I am? This was taken in my parents garden. It was my grandparents anniversary. My aunts and uncles came with their children. I remember the sun was really hot. Being the eldest grandchild came with responsibilities. I had to keep my nieces and nephews entertained, weContinue reading “31 Day Blog Challenge (Day 8)”

Went to visit my son today. He’s recently moved house, he doesn’t own his house, he rents or house shares at the moment. So we went to see his new place he’s staying in. Once I’d had a nose😉and a coffee, we set out to go into his local town. We had lunch and aContinue reading “Sunday’s Post 🌤”

Today was fun at work. We had no Gas or electricity (we found out later that the fans on the roof were tripping the electricity switches) so after delivery was put away (and don’t you know it we had more staff on than usual🙄 we were then given cleaning to do (large order of plates,Continue reading “Saturday’s Post 🥵”

it’s Friday. So it’s time for a start to the weekend cocktail. I couldn’t choose one, so I’ve picked a multi picture😉 cheers Had a very interesting day at work today. The extractor fans stopped working, so that meant the grills and fryers stopped as well. So no food, which meant the poor servers hadContinue reading “Friday’s Post🥵”

Homemade lollies Try freezing juices into fun layered lollies. Pour your favourite juices into lolly moulds and freeze a layer at a time (adding fresh fruit if you like) to get a striped effect. Orange and forest fruits (with some sliced strawberries added in) create a colourful effect, but try your own combinations with as manyContinue reading “Summer Fun 🍦”

Thursday’s Delivery was a nice size. Didn’t take too long. But with a lack of staff it made for a hectic day. Sun was out, so made use of it today and put washing out 😉 Hoping your liking my blog challenge. I’m having fun organising the posts and putting them on a timer. GettingContinue reading “Thursday’s Post ☀️”

Day off today😄 so There was washing on the line. And caught up with a friend for lunch and a Netflix film Had a few jumps here and there, a good film, but not as scary as the last few we’ve watched😉 What did you do today? 🦋

A different day today at work. After the delivery was put away, and I’d caught up with salad prep. I was shown the other side of the kitchen. I learned some of the starters and how they are made, and then a quick lesson on the grill, I think I did pretty well today, hotContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post 🌤”
