    Funny you should mention caring Psycho - I've been looking at that as someone I know has just started doing it. It's where you go to their house (hours to be arranged) and take them out/shopping, just sit with them and chat, whatever they want to do really. Now I could do the chatting bit no problem lol. It won't be on the same money as I am now but at least I wouldn't be sat in an office with 2 biatches like I am now!!!

    Strangely enough that's related to my new job... care management for peeps with disabilities... seems to be the thing to be getting into... despite proposed government spending cuts... support workers/personal assistants are earning approx £12 an hour.. more if they undertake personal care.
    Like you say ... not stuck in an office either!
    PM me if you need more info.

    £7 for me today please Booby split between e-bike fund and VSP - thanks for all your counting up this month - you're a star :staradmin

    Psycho - if you ever need to offload or ask advice please feel free - have been working in / managing care services, mainly with older people, for 20 years so may be able to help out - it is very rewarding but incredibly hard work both physically and emotionally :) / :(

    New to care management, I deal with 16 - 25 year olds, and totally agree with you.

    Are you are married to that John Mcririck? (I think he has a wife called Booby?)

    Super job on the counting up !! I have some very big [STRIKE]bras[/STRIKE] shoes to fill. LOL. :p

    Er hell no! My hubby calls me Boobylou, certainly nothing like my RL name but everyone here has shortened it to Booby! I don't know what they could possibly be referring to!!! :eek:
    I'm really looking forward to seeing August's total!!

    So am I :D
    Looking forward to the monthly total - it must be one of the biggest we've had?

    Yep, the total is looking pretty impressive but you will have to wait until tomorrow to find out :p Am still amazed that we had such big pads when I thought everyone would be skint and putting all their money towards their summer hols. Only had to go a bit "Angelic" a couple of times.......:A
