Pregnancy Our 1st Daughter

The next thing that happened was rather unexpected. I had managed to get pregnant. At the time I was unsure as to whether I wanted to have a baby at this time. I happened to be on the mini pill which I found out later does not always stop this happening. There was some deliberating to do because a career was really my goal in life. But of course life sometimes takes you down another path. My then boyfriend and patents urged me to carry on with the pregnancy. After a lot of discussion and thought we decided to go ahead and start a family. This also meant that we would need to move out of the flat we were living in.So we decided to look at some houses to buy in the Hove area. And finally ended up purchasing one. Where amazingly after 32 years we still live. A great area with easy and quick routes to the downs, the sea and the town centre.

Barclays Bank PLC Clerical Grade 4

After spending a month learning how to work as a Clerical Grade 4 clerk it was time to put these new skills into practise. This was to become my new role for quite some time. Both enjoyable and rewarding. I really did enjoy working with the accountant, loans manager, assistant manager and manager of my local branch. Great life skills that have helped me throughout my adult life.
