I use to work at asda, untill i broke my leg eight weeks ago.

I decided to leave, instead of going on the sick. i want to go to collage and studie english and drama, once my leg has healed.

[Sunny_01]

Cool Hooly - sounds like you have it all planned out - I would love to go to full time uni but cant afford to leave work

[Julia L]

I was a Computing student at college a couple or so years ago, but since June 2002 I've been unemployed! I kept applying for jobs but was always beaten to the job by someone else or I didn't get a reply at all! I did do a web design course for six months on that New Deal scheme last year, but that didn't lead to anything. I've got an interview thingy at Asda tomorrow evening, something called a group session - so hopefully I'll get a job there.

[Sunny_01]

Will keep my fingers crossed for you Julia

[LEE]

I run my own business dealing with computeried accounts packages - Stock control, order processing, payroll, stuff like that. I set up business systems for companies and help them run their accounts - I'm not an accountant, more IT based, but I do have a lot of accounting knowledge because of what I do.

I also run a payroll bureau, running payrolls for small to medium sized companies.

I'm a trained teacher and used to teach Music and English until I decided it wasn't for me, but I am looking into doing some adult education lecturing at the moment as well.

[Sunny_01]

I am currently studying for an alcohol and drugs counselling Diploma so that at least I know the damage I am doing to myself and can give myself a dam good talking to when I am naughty lol.

[Amy]

work for Homebase as a supervisor, work too many hours for not enough money! very uninteresting

[BusyBee]

I'm a legal PA working for a partner in family department - so deal with divorces, child protection matters etc. - as we say sex, drugs and rock and roll have nothing on some of our clients. Very busy and quite stressful sometimes so BB is a way of winding down.

[liliacqueen]

im a student studying AS business studies AVCE leisure and receration and AVCE business studies was doing psychology but sat exam and hated it so if i fail i dnt care.

[Sunny_01]

You will do fine Lilac - I loved Psychology when I studied it but I really do think that it is one of those subjects that you love or hate and I think a lot has to do with your tutor.

[liliacqueen]

i hated my teacher we did it distance learning over video confreence and i neva went leasssons oh well if i fail i dnt care as i hated it lol.

[Janette]

I've just been promoted to Pharmacy Manager in a retail pharmacy. Until recently I arranged ways nursing homes and community patients could take medication safely. Done that for 3 years so this new work should be a bit more interesting!

[Amy]

Congratulations Janette

[Janette]

Thanks Amy

[BusyBee]

A new husband and a new job - what's going to be the third thing Janette? Congratulations

[rachb]

Like Janette I also used to be a pharmacy technician but now I'm just a mum

Well done Janette
