No, not really my thing to be honest. I've never really liked 9-5 jobs or office type work

What about in a nice hot country in a lively working atmosphere??

Nah. I've worked abroad before, but want to stay here and find a more fixed job and start saving

Any catering work abroad or on a cruise ship, say? Get a bit of sun in Jan:)

It's not something I've really considered before. hmmm.

Doesn't have to be catering work on a cruise ship, of course; I would have thought they are always looking for cleaners, maids, front-of-house staff, bar staff, etc, etc

I think we are thinking the same thing... I know of a great receptionist job in a spa/gym... in the middle east. But she wants to stay in London.... cannot blame her!

I've had quite a pent up resentment at my career being cut short in its prime :o not towards anyone.....just circumstances.
But I'm right back on it now I'm still young!

....my OH however is not so impressed at not having an on call wife anymore. He will get over it It has actually been quite a battle of wits He really did not want me to take another job on!

Its been stressful but I think I've got my point across

I thought 'cruise ships' as that could be short-term agency work, 2-3 weeks or however long the cruise is.

Good on you. I was really young when I had the kids, and worked little jobs around the kids. When I went to work properly, it took my OH about 2 years to get his head around me having a career..... despite him moaning I think he quiet liked it (when he got his head around it him needing to do cooking/cleaning etc)

Enjoy x
