Is 33 too old to start a decent career?
Hopefully not! I have been a SAHM for the past 5 years, I used to work in sales previously; DH's profession is quite unpredictable, he works as a subcontractor so doesn't get paid holidays or bank holidays or sickness, so we've decided it might be best if he looks after the children fulltime whilst I try and get back into…
