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 am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
