Re: What do we all do....................?


Norma wasnt she a stalky, robust woman who had lived many years in South Africa?
I think she took over the Torry shop just before or just after I left. I popped into the shop to see her on occasion, if I was working at Torry Post Office though.
I dont think our paths did cross as I started in the post office in 1990.

That's Norma!! How strange is that! A friend of mine, AnneMarie, became post mistress of the Great Northern Rd PO! Were you working at the Torry PO from 1994 - 1996?

Possibly. I was normally at Union St PO but would be sent over to Torry or St Nicholas to cover for holidays etc.

How weird to think that we have probably had some sort of contact before lol! I used to use the Union St PO sometimes too.

Then out paths probably have crossed at some point then
I would have been the very pleasant, happy one behind the bandit screen

Hate to admit this, as you have all had interesting jobs, I stopped work when my daughter was born, and have been a housewife ever since...

Don't put yourself down, Moli! I remember reading that if a man had to hire someone to do the jobs his wife did: nanny/chef/ chauffeur/laundress/gardener/painter/psychologist/.bookkeeper, etc. etc. etc., it would cost him over $100 thousand a year!!

Re: What do we all do....................?


I think being a housewife is an enormous responsibility and a very admirable job.
Its not what you do, its who you are that matters
