I work as a Kitchen Assistant in a Sheltered Housing Scheme, mainly with elderly people. Problem is, I eat too much of the food that we cook! The last few weeks have been unbearable with the hot weather, but I won't grumble too much!

From 18 I was in the army for 4 years. Then I qualified as an accountant. Then I was a counsellor for 10 years. Now I am a layabout. len

I have a cleaning company! Works well, I earn a living, Thats what I do!

I was trying to find a job but I gave up eventually (I scrounge). I concentrate on voluntary work, give up a certain number of hours a week to help out at youth group (girl guides). I'm taking a group of them on holiday in September. This Summer I'm helping the National Trust with conservation projects, big events etc at the stately home not far away from where I live.

I'm a glass engraver. I sometimes have special pieces of lead crystal blown for me then I add designs to them. One of my recent ones was a bowl with swirls like waves and surf in it and I engraved a body boarder and sea gulls on it for someone keen on the ocean. Sue

I am a multi tasking problem solving executive :-)

I was a telephonist until I had my eldest child, then worked evenings answering the phones and radio for a vehicle breakdown/recovery company. After 2nd child was born and eldest was at school, I worked part-time (with daughter strapped in her car seat) delivering car parts for a motor factors. When 3rd child was 6 months old I became a registered childminder, a job I loved and did for over 23 years until my youngest grandchild started full time school and I fancied a change! Now I work part-time for another vehicle breakdown/recovery company, answering phones and radio, despatching drivers, doing paperwork - in fact anything that needs doing except driving the trucks - well not often anyway! I also run occasional creches for a local charity. Sue xx

Used to be in IT full-time, at the moment I'm temping for a VERY well-known charity - and it's a real eye-opener, lol!

I have been my own boss for 18 years, in Transport. Very Very Stresssful use to really enjoy but no longer do as my staff now have far more rights than I do. In fact they now earn more than I do! So I have applied for a job in the big world as a business advisor. I also have an on-line web site which sells Crystals :-) . Love this but sadlydo not sell enough to pay the mortgage. Then if I have any energy left after that I am a Reiki healer. Get bored very easily & always looking for new challenges!

I am a nurse in a nursing home. I was working full-time but now am on call if they need me, before that I was a laboratory assistant for Bendix-Westinghouse - airbrakes not washing machines and before that I did a history degree. quite varied really.

I have the most rewarding job in the world. I am a Senior Support Worker for four lovely ladie's and I take them shopping and socialising-nice to know we are giving them a better quality of life.

At the moment I do stress testing on fishing tackle and load testing on deckchairs! lol. Len
