Hello!!! It's been a long time since I last posted here. I'm hoping everyone is doing fine xx
I just want to share to everyone how my life has been since I've been here in England. Been here for almost 19 months now, how time flies. Looking back and at the moment it's been a hard but a blessed journey for me. Thankful enough that I'm with my wonderful husband.
Well to start of, I got 2 jobs as a cleaner in a shop and in a care home of reasonable distance from where we used to live. That gave me the opportunity to help my mum (in Ph) financially without depending on my husband's money. Then here comes 2015, we found someone who wants to exchange Flat with us as we want to move to Pompey coz my husband's work and family were there. Wish granted, we moved and I have to gave up one of my job. Had to find another job again locally. Saw this opportunity online about working as a support worker. I attended the interview, trainings etc. I've waited about 3 months but then I got the job and so I gave up my old job and worked full time in a hospital. While doing the preparation for this new job I found out that I'm pregnant. What a good news. We've been waiting for this for few months. I started my new job when I was already 5 months preggy so it only gave me a chance to work 3 months before my maternity leave. 11/01/2016, bang on due date, I gave birth to our little princess. It's been a good and healthy pregnancy but labour and delivery? Hmm I would say my experience has been traumatising to make the story short. But never mind she's all worth it. I'm now a mum, adjusting to this new world. I have to admit it's hard being a mum, I so wish my mum is here to help and support me. I hope she can be here soon but that's another thing for me to learn, how can I get my mum to come over here. I'm feeling a bit stressed with all these sleepless nights. Thankfully my hubby is very helpful and supportive. I know I'll be alright (Fingerscrossed), just still adjusting to parenthood.
It'll be a very busy year for me being a mum and preparing for the FLR application early next year. I have to take an English test this year and gather documents again. God help us.
I know you guys will always be there to answer queries, so thanks in advance. :)
We're still thankful for all your help before and always will be. xx
Love, Cherrie Alan & Charlotte xxxxx
