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).

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
