    While I'm here I work as a fire safety officer, library re-shelver, & telephonist (but that hasnt been on recently), and in the holidays I work as a receptionist in a dental surgery and as a waitress in a hospital.

    I was self employed until March 04 earning a lot, and spending a lot more (I've found out since I packed it in). It was very long hours and pretty stressful and I'm pleased I'm not doing it anymore. I can't remember what the catalyst was, but I know I thought what am I doing here, the most important thing to me is my family, and I spend all of my time at work.
    MSE has been a huge influence on my life since I found it, especially being able to cut back without losing out on things like utilities.
    During my high times I bought a villa in Florida, which I love and it rents out pretty well, but I can't afford to visit often enough, and just have very short maintenance trips.
    I trained as a nurse and now half heartedly on a return to practice course, (doing this for OH instead of me).
    I'm almost doing what I want to, which is home schooling 2 of the kids, (I have 5, 2 are grown, and 1 likes school) and kicking back and enjoying my home and family.
    We did end up with a lot of debts and with that and some other life changing events, it seems OH and I are looking for different things out of life.
    There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.

    Quite a varied bunch arn't we! :grouphug:

    I work full-time at the moment, am working towards being in a position where I can reduce this and spend more time with my two children (aged 2 & 3). Also have 2 dogs, 2 cats and if I had the space I would definately have chickens as well.

    Also have an MSE addiction but I'm not seeking a cure for that at the moment. I'm not sure there is a cure actually!

    It's great to read about you all!

    I'm 45 with hubby plus 2 teenage kids, and work from home as a piano teacher, usually after school, so I have quite a lot of spare time during the day to cook meals from scratch and search for other money-saving ideas on MSE! Like many others, I'm addicted to this site, and find it really supportive in my quest to save money - we're aiming for early retirement!

    I work part-time and visit the MSE site full time.........or should that be the other way around?:o


    I'm a Jack Of All Trades/Master Of None....have worked in a flour mill/R&D labs and now in engineering.

    I play sport for local teams and kid myself that I can keep up with the youngsters.:rolleyes:

    I glance at the Daily Brain Teaser questions........but often can't even get the Easy Peaser Teaser questions right.:confused:

    There are so many great members of this site. Some I've had the pleasure to meet........and made some good friends.

    Mr & Mrs Nile share their home with hundreds of cracks in the walls, a ton of holiday brochures and a pallet stacked to the ceiling with special priced cans of Pepsi.:o

    I used to have a life in the real world..........then I heard Martin Lewis on BBC Radio 2 and found this site.:money:
