Me? I'm just a B&B Landlady (though the place is named as a Hotel) and Steak House owner in Blackpool

Great work if you like meeting people - awful work if you hate housework!

Fantastic for me as I get so excited if we get guests who are from the areas I am researching in and even more exciting if they have a name that is in my tree lol

Poor people end up going through 100 questions before they have even got to their rooms!

A housewife perchance?  :)

your nearly there xr, but I will deepen my voice and hit the keyboard with more force as I am what is now classed as a "househusband"  ;D as for the last bit  "sometime personel perforfomance adviser" that's for when I tell the wife that her bum dosen't look big in what she has got on  ;D ;D ;D

I'm a health and safety professional (and please none of the jokes - I've heard them all) trying to make sure my organisation meets the law and can operate reasonably at the same time.

I must be doing OK - my colleagues are pleased to see me  ;)

My pet hate is the no win no fee lawyers... :D

Redspookhunter...sorry I lost the thread....went to bed after getting my name onto as many of the messages as I could....no,I guess fish probably don't have tongues do they ;D. :-[They can give a nasty suck though...I dangled my finger into the boating lake at west park (midlands )as a toddler...something thought I was tasty cos it either licked me with its imaginary tongue,or sucked with its big lips...I had a sore red finger for days :'(
PS do you like my new picture signature...I luv hamsters and we are not allowed them in Australia....looks a bit like the one I gave mouth to mouth to.. ;)
