[. Have 4 weeks ‘working’ holiday in Cyprus, (I do face to face readings over there).
Hi Jeanette,
Where abouts is 'home' in Cyprus, I am in the Paralimni area....Small world!
I'm a School Cleaner, and I love my job. 🙂
Trained as a librarian, I really love the work but haven't had much luck finding a job in the field. We'll likely need to relocate if I do get a post so I haven't been as active as I could be in jobhunting. Otherwise I do agency work now and then to bring in some cash, not exactly life-affirming!
"Giving up the day job"
Hello & Welcome,
This has been very interesting getting to know about what other people do.
I am a Marketing Consultant - semi retired, now doing more business on the internet as well as doing Karate Instruction and exercises to music sessions in my locality in Mablethorpe, Lincs Coast.
I noticed so many really trying hard to make a living out of the Therapeutic services but have not managed to "Give up the day job".
It would be interesting as a Marketing expert to get people's views of their frustrations.
I will try and help if I can.
Great forum !!.
Sincerely
Dave
Hi,
Well, it's not the most interesting job in the world but I enjoy it. "What is it?" I hear you ask. Well, I'm a postie. Not a deliver-your-mail type of postie but I work in a sorting office. Worked for Royal Mail for 9 years next week, straight from school. It's the only job I've ever had.
My ideal job would be working with animals, I would LOVE to work at Battersea Dogs Home but as I live in Tyne and Wear it'd be a heck of a commute!
Great to see such a variety of personalities and backgrounds on here.

Hi,
What an amazing range of jobs. Well I am a teacher, secondary school science, and love it. I am also one of those 'lifelong learners' and have just started a Masters in education at Chichester uni, my school is funding it!
I also do all the books for my husbands bricklaying business, and help him with other admin tasks for him. As well as all that I buy and sell on ebay, not a business as such, just a hobby!
I have done a course in Bach flower remedies, and when I get too old for the teaching lark, I hope to 'branch' out more into this 'field', (sorry about the puns!!)
I also hoover, clean, etc etc, but the kids have left home this year, so it is only me and Oakapple!!
Love
Crabapple xx
I was a secretary for 17 years.
I am now a full time mom to a 2yr old. I am also a part time holistic therapist doing swedish massage, reiki (master just 3 wks ago), indian head massage, hopi ear candling and studying for an aromatherapy diploma.
I am also a cleaner, cook, gardener, photographer, chauffeur, and friend :):)
Computer software/database programmer by day.
By evening/weekend... Reiki/Freeway-CER/EFT/Life Coach, Artist/Sculptor, Philosopher, Seeker (of truth 😉 ), Healthypages Moderator, Freeway-CER Moderator, All-Love Moderator
Dynamic Deep Meditation (DDM) twice a day
Amongst all the other things I do... 😀
like most other people here, i have a double life too...
Holistic/beauty student in the morning
IT analyst in the evening
Holistic living and part time student.
Myarka.
I'm a student lol, cut the boos out at the back there :p
I've been a teaching assistant for the last six years and work until midday. Afternoons are for my beauty and holistic business which I have been building up for the last few years. At the moment I enjoy doing both jobs and it all fits in well with family etc.
I'm a facilities administrator, working in a large wealth management firm. It's quite a busy, stressful job but it's varied and interesting.
I'm currently learning reiki and massage and I would love to eventually develop my interest in complimentary health into some kind of business, either part or full-time... well, the big dream would be to have my very own complimentary health clinic complete with lovely treatment rooms, yoga/tai chi studio and cafe! But I figure I have quite some way to go yet before I can make that a reality, but the experience I'm getting from my day jobs in admin are all quite relevant to managing a business so I'm treating it all as a learning experience!
I sell piano parts to the world! ( no really i do!) Waiting for my exam results and hope to add reflexologist to that
ooh tbb, that sounds interesting! am sure you've done great in your exams! don't forget to let me know xx
