I work in a bank - but please don't tell anyone. Is that creative? I guess it depends on the department. ;-):-)

Am bored out of my mind and am looking for a career change or at least a new job (as are all my colleagues). I am living abroad (in London).


Volunteering never crossed my mind - am sceptical of established charities and haven't really found anything that would make me want to dedicate time and money on a regular basis.


Strange combination of questions, Ms. What about you?

Well, I've been known to make my way into a wardrobe......and get lost. So, much as I might like a bank, I wouldn't trust myself to get out. Pipe dream it is.

The last forty years I have spent in business, the first 12 years as a partner in retail outlets.


I then started my own thing in the medical industry which I still do but on a greatly reduced level.


Along the way have helped a few people start up in business and feel that I was always better at starting businesses than

running them long term.


I also have a partnership in a metal company run completely by my partner and his wife, and an interest in a powder

coatings company.


My greatest commercial disaster was in the mid 90's starting an internet company with the wrong man, whilst being computer illiterate, and I still am to this day.

My job is dull dull dull but I always wanted to be a bank robber. Not your smash and grab type robber who shoots people or hits them on the head, but someone with a really clever plan who cleans up and gets away with it. Good news that there are so many wannabe bankers in ED because I'm going to need someone on the inside. All you bankers, please PM me the plans of your vaults, I'm eager to get on with it.


This evening I'm mostly drinking red wine and lusting after this:

I would lay-low between jobs so I'd have time for some volunteering then.


That's the plan.

Sweet giggirl,


I am wearing that dress right now! I had to wear a slip underneath it this morning as the badly finished acrylic fabric causes the most frightful chaffing. I shall be tossing it in the bin before bed time.


I am a momshell (naturellement) and career mother. I have a fabulous job in PR and my darling man is a complete banker. We are literally tripping over great stacks of cash piled up and lying all around our home (sigh).

    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas! 
    • That is almost too ridiculous to answer but I'll take the bait. You are comparing a national charity with one branch of a small charity. Cats Protection has around 34 dedicated rehoming centres. CHAT has two, Lewisham & Canning Town and a sanctuary in Sussex. So if Cats Protection have homed 34,000 cats, thats an average of 1000 per branch. From memory this years total so far for Lewisham CHAT was over 980. I saw a few homed this weekend so we may well reach 1000 for this year. The same as Cats Protection. No need for head scratching.
