I started with Chris in January of 2022, delivering milk to over 350 people every morning. Starting 4:30 until 7:30.

I could carry up to 20 pints of milk at a time , memorising house numbers and street names, and each house order every time I jumped of the milk float. I was always on my feet, trying to be as fast as possible. I was a valued member of the team and kept my employment when demand decreased and others were asked to leave.

This was my First job which i had started in January of 2021, I was early up at 6:30 each morning, riding a pushbike to the newsagents and collecting up to 50 newspapers 6 times a week. I had memorised each street, house number and which newspaper they had ordered.
