    I have been an educational audiologist, a barmaid, a waitress and a typographer...

    I suppose I'd go back to one of those, but not very enthusiastically.

    Plus I wasn't a very good waitress - too much got spilled

    A Supermodel ... Really I would love to do this (watch all the cheesy programmes, top model, make me a supermodel etc)

    Only problem is ... I'm not really that photogenic, or 6ft tall!!! Might be a slight problem there!!!

    I am a beauty therapist, but i would not want to do this full time.

    I would like to be a Historian and immerse myself in the past.

    Or work for a travel agent and travel abroad to top hotels to give them their grades.

    Or look after the baby Pandas in San Diego Zoo.

    Or work in a shop in the Magic Kingdom Disney selling Tinkerbell outfits.

    we dont stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing

    no idea it was a spur of the moment decision 19 years ago to become a childminder- all my best decisions have been made like that. I do not plan, i live in hope So if i hadnt become a childminder back then who knows what i'd be up to now...

    Probably would have continued my career in nursing, possibly gone into midwifery.
