  • I'm going to be a thundercat when I grow up :)

    I wanted to be the blue one (well the female equivalent!), although I cant remember his name now
  • I don't know :( I'm doing a degree at that moment and looking at getting back out to work after 4 years out of work and no idea what I'll want to do or be able to do
    Have a Bsc Hons open degree from the Open University 2015 :j:D:eek::T

    i dont want to grow up i want to stay at 14 forever but sadly i have moved on 10 years from that and still have no idea what i want to do i would love to be a teacher but i couldnt deal with the kids all day a professional dancer would also be nice but my body has decided thats not for me i would like to be a grandma when i grow up but i fear that i may regress to a 5 year old like my parents do when they are with my kids
    The only people I have to answer to are my beautiful babies aged 8 and 5

    I want to feel as confident, self assured and in control of my life as all the 'grown ups' that surrounded me as I grew up appeared to be. Something tells me they were all putting on a massive act, and didn't have it anywhere near as sussed as I thought they did. Oh and I would like to be an astronaut and walk on the moon.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    I wanted to be an editor, and I've done that. I wanted to escape a nine-to-five day job, and I've done that. I want to be a writer and I'm not quite there yet, but I do write lots of novels and my self-published fiction is selling, so I'll take it. :) I'd like to be happy as well but I think that might take a bit more work.

    I wanted to be a teacher, a barmaid or a shop assistant. I have done all 3 :)

    I like being a teacher, but would love to be a writer
    I wanna be in the room where it happens

    Personally I dont think I will be happy until I can afford a small holding with a few acres and lots of dogs, I'm not really a people person and this going to work lark and having to be polite to folk all day is really starting to take it toll.

    Absolutely! I always wanted to move to Scotland and live in the Highlands on a remote farm, miles from anywhere, on my own. It's not practical now though, so will probably not do it. I do live on my own though (but not in Scotland) and although I haven't got "The perfect job" I do work alone which, after years of barely tolerating other people in the workplace, is a massive relief. It's not the other people that's the problem though, it's me. I'm just not sociable and can't tolerate other peoples inane chattering. I'm just a miserable old woman!

    I've always harboured a bit of a desire to be a shopkeeper.

    It would have to be a book shop for me. :T

    At school, i was going to become an Air Traffic Controller.
    That went on for about 4 years.

    I never made it to ATC college ..the 7 years put me off. And the re-taking of licences.

    At 18 i got a part time job in a local hotel, waitressing at weddings & functions.
    I went off to college to do Hotel Management instead.

    Worked for the now-defunct THF group and adored my job.
