ive always wanted to be aplumber. ive always dreamed of owning my own Woman Only Plumbing business, cos you hear of woman only wanting female cab drivers ect and this day people are nervous about cowboystraders working in their homes...so they could call on my female only work. but i didnt get the qualifications to do the course and cant go back into education now!x

Louise No I don't get up early..lol except at lambing time, where I don't go to bed for about four weeks - its not good getting out of a nice warm comfy bed a couple of times during the night to go outside in the cold and the dark to check the ewes and lambs, so its easier if I just sleep in the chair..lol. Having said that I love my animals. I help my husband in his business as well but as we work from home its not too bad. Jxx

I work in a tea & coffee supply shop, so my boss roasts coffee all day. That's fairly unusual these days!!

My son makes architectural models - that's not just cutting up cornflakes packets and sticking them together with Pritt stick. LOL He takes architects' drawn plans of buildings and transfers them onto computers to form 3-D images to scale, then translates the images into the required form, using wood, plastic, metal, glass, or whatever material the client chooses. It's very time-consuming, intricate work and involves sculpting with scalpels, etc, moulding plastics and using various cutting machines. He also makes the baseboards, including fake grass, trees, cars, people, etc, that the model buildings stand on, as well as the perspex covers that go over the top of them. CB >|<

It is not a bad job but it includes people of all ages and not one I would do personally. I don't think it is Illegal to tell you but it is creepy

Understand Val, I had to be careful in who I told what I did and would tell very few people where I worked and still won't now. There are some scary people out there. Ros.
