George is flushed with embarrassment.

George made his way as usual on Monday morning to his volunteering task in Home Care. WHen he got there the Lady of the house (who is absolutely delighted with Georges weekly cleaning) said "Could you clean out the toilet for me this morning" George sprung into action, but on entering the toilet found what he described later as the oddest 'Loo Brush' he had ever seen. Never one to be daunted George pulled out the brush from the holder to make sure it was clean. To his astonishment the brush had ROOTS on the bottom of it!! Yes George had pulled up the clients favourite POT PLANT !! After the initial panic George replaced it and got on with the rest of the job. I'm almost scared to ask for comments on this, but good on you George for sharing this with us.

Andrew's Success Story

Andrew Crighton who has worked as a volunteer with our project for the last year has secured himself a job on the staff of the Capital Hotel in Clermiston. Andrew ( a fervent Hibs fan) worked with the painting and decorating /gardening team and is well known as a 'Grafter' who was always first to turn up in the morning. Andrews reflections on his year with PEP: " I think PEP is a good place to work in. It's nice to work with people at PEP and the group I was involved with. It will be great to work with new people but I will miss this place and be sorry to go. This will be Andrew's first full-time job. Please leave a goodwill mesage for Andrew through the comments facility.

We'll miss you Andrew, but we are always pleased to see the volunteers further themselves, and were still here to give you support and encouragement if you feel you need it. Good Luck.
