What a great thread!!!!I trained as an Occupational Therapist, but didn't finish the course. Started working with Adults with learning disabillities in '71, resigned in disgust from my job of Social Worker nearly 3 years ago, having worked in all areas of service provision for the client group, mostly Social Services.
During that time married 3 times, brought up 2 sons, kept house (why did I never choose a husband who did housework?) Now I care for elderly parents, keep chickens and ducks and dogs and cats. Grow veg, do craftwork and market stalls, sing, play, produce pantomimes, watch telly, read and check in on Mudcat twice a day at least.
My life is very full, and I wish I'd stopped work long ago.
Oh, and my grandson is overseeing my training as a Granny!!!!
Oh yes, and I do Mudcat gatherings, too!!!!
Cheers, Bron.
