I left college and worked for a little while in a chicken factory when I was 18 in Sep/Oct 2000.

Before that I did occasional work helping out my dad's mate at his business while still at school.

i was a stripper

After Uni I joined as an apprentice with a travel agency-stayed there a few years then was offered a job with Thomson Holidays-stayed there many years-I became a supervisor-and we dealt with travel agents queries-the best bit was the cheap and freebie holidays-and the fun we had was great-

I got bored though and was offered a job with an advertising agency-completely different to the holiday industry-I was a PA to 2 company directors-brill place to work-stayed there a few years-then was offered a job with a posh firm of International Property Surveyors-was good but the chauvenistic surveyors did my head in-

then I took some time out-spent time with the kids and now work for OH in his Advertising Business-whilst doing my teacher training-
