Lisa in the Christmas party spirit
Lisa recently returned from maternity leave and is back in her role of Accounts Manager looking after some of our major clients.
Happy New Year, Lisa. Did you manage to have a rest over Christmas and the New Year?
Happy New Year to you too. Yes, I had a lovely break, although I’m not sure about rest now that I have a one-year-old!
Of course, your son was just a newborn baby last Christmas, so I guess he got lots of presents this year?
He certainly did! We didn’t go too mad, though, as we knew he would get lots of presents from the rest of the family. The wrapping paper and empty box still seemed to be favourite though!
Christmas can be a costly time of year. Can you remember your first pay cheque?
I can’t remember the actual payment but my first job was delivering the free local newspaper once a week. I inherited it from my older brother and absolutely hated it but my Dad wouldn’t let me give it up. I think my average weekly payment was about £1.20. Even back then, that really didn’t get you very much.
Do you have a favourite TV programme – one that you don’t like to miss?
Sadly, I keep up with Eastenders although I did consider stopping watching it as a New Year’s Resolution but didn’t quite make it! I know I waste too much time on it. Other favourites are Mock the Week and QI. I’m also looking forward to the new series of Sherlock.
Do you have any favourite place in Britain?
I love being by the sea and quite often visit Dorset and Cornwall. I find it very relaxing and enjoy spending time there.
How do you like to keep fit?
I haven’t done very much of this lately but I would like to try and get fit as I know I will feel better for it. Once I get into it I do quite enjoy jogging so I will be doing more this year.
Some people have a Power Song that they listen to while jogging – do you?
I do, actually. I have my ‘Power Song’ on the Nike Plus set to Eye of the Tiger to give me a boost when I’m struggling – it keeps me going!
Lisa lives in Caversham with husband Daryl and son Fletcher
