Well let's see!!!

My fiance owns an Estate Agency and in november last year we brought a hotel... Usually I am a stay at home mommy to 3 furbabies and 1 and a half year skin baby but due to the Economy beeing the way it is we had to let one of the staff at the hotel go, so I am doing the bar shift on sundays and from 1st June I will do mondays,wednesdays and fridays as well because we have just opened up a coffee shop as well in the hotel lobby so very busy at the moment... Plus I am a mystery shopper too and I do about 3 to 4 mystery shops every week.

It's not too much to do actually...For example I go to a bank and make an enquire which takes me like 10 min and I get paid £12 ... Not bad if you ask me...and I only choose which ones to do when I know I am in town anyway!!! Talk about energy...LOL I am out of it now, completely shattered!!! Just want to be a stay at home mommy again and enjoy my hobby!!! lol

Tell me something, please. how do you cut a yorkies bangs if you want it to stay long but not in a top knot. I have one that scratches and seems like her hair is always in her face. Would like it to stay long but not in her face. Can you help?

Well, I went to dog grooming school when I was 18. I worked for someone, they closed down & moved. I opened my own dog grooming buisness. I got married. He didn't want me to work, so I was a stay at home mom & raised a family. I still groomed my own dogs & showed my dogs. I got divorced. Then I baby sat for a while, went to school to become a secetary in a law firm. I didn't like it. Three years ago I opened my own dog grooming buisness & boarding. I still show my dogs for a hobby. I am happy once again.Yippee!!! Crazy ha went back to what I loved in the first place.

My hubby owns a vehicle repair workshop so I do all the paper work, banking, wages etc and I also have my own business as a dressmaker so we keep pretty busy, but at least my baby is at work with me, and being my own boss we get to go for walks when the weather permits.

I have a BS in Medical technology and work as a Medical Technologist in a hospital. A lot of people do not know what a Med tech is....well we run tests on patient specimens. I personally work in the blood bank and ensure safe tranfusions for patients who need them. The lab is the unsung hero of the hospital. 70% of the information that a doctor needs to make a diagnosis comes from the laboratory.

I love what I do

kidmuzicdotcom · 05-24-2009, 02:46 PM

Commercial Embroidery
Candy Wrapping for special occasions
My Hubby is a DJ and does licensed character custom cd's for kids with their names in the music..like with Mickey etc.

I am a legal secretary and hate it! Great $$$ just not my thing.

Bruce's_Mom · 05-25-2009, 12:19 PM

I am an attorney. My feelings about it are mixed. I practice primarily in the area of civil defense primarily representing a wide variety of clients in professional liability matters (attorneys, doctors, nurses, chiropractors, vets, real estate agents, etc). It is challenging and sometimes exciting. However, I think I would rather represent plaintiffs, work at a smaller law firm and take a weekend off from time to time.

linz06 · 05-25-2009, 01:10 PM

I took Civil Engineering Technology in college. I have been working for just over two years and I'm now the head of the drafting department for my office. Not bad for being under 25 years old, and the pay is great! BUT I don't really enjoy it. I'm good at it, but I don't like coming to work every day because I don't feel like I'm making a difference in the world. I just get no personal satisfaction. My dream is to work with animals. For now, this job pays the bills, but it's not what I want to do forever.

txrosegirl · 05-25-2009, 01:52 PM

i work in healthcare and i am a senior analyst.

which basically means i am a big nerd who plays with numbers, microsoft excel and powerpoint 90% of my day

i LOVE my job, i have many good friends there and it pays really well but my company is horrible. as soon as the economy picks up, i think i will look for a new company.

BrendaS54 · 05-25-2009, 04:01 PM

My Husband an I Own our own Business.. Were both Cpa's. He has been one for 40 years... Me 15 years. I was CNA before I moved here.. was going for RN ... but my legs and back gave out. LOOONG story..I was a Country singer also. I sang Backup for Loretta Lynn for years. I still sing at the County fairs here in Michigan an wherever they want me. lol So I had to find something else to do. So I met my Husband and started to work for him..
