There was me panicking that I'd not responded to your entry and been all unsupportive, but I see you made the post this morning so I don't feel so bad!

Having now read through it, it absolutely sounds like you did the right thing. I have no doubts that you could do the job but it doesn't sound like you (even though I suppose I don't know you that well and meeting you twice does not make me an expert!) - and I think in the current climate, it's probably hard to make people sign up - I'm already thinking about my own charity donations and whether I can realistically afford to keep them all going.

Anyway, I'm glad it's a weight of your shoulders, which shows it was wrong for you. Good luck with the M&S seasonal job application. *Hugs* :)
