* Purwell, I am sorry to hear about your awful health problem. Good luck with the treatment.
I have done many jobs since leaving school at 15.
Before I left school though, I used to help out at the local stables, I loved the horses.
Then when I left school I started doing a hairdressing apprenticeship but didn't complete the course because of the unpleasant old bat who ran the place.
I later changed to office work, and went to further education to learn typing. I became secretary to a bit of a leery old chap
and typed for him and others there, too. I also later met my husband-to-be at this place.
Later in life I worked at a couple of boarding kennels, (one of which was yet another leery old git).
I also helped a friend out on his Sheep farm, but mostly only at shearing and dipping time.
I remember bringing home an orphan lamb to bottle rear once. She was beautiful, and used to come out on walks with me and the dogs. Penny, her name was.
Next I tried the school kitchens, and village pub kitchens, and obtained my Food Hygiene Certificate. I also helped out behind the bar in two villages too.
Eventually I worked in a Care Home kitchen for a good while and they asked me to help out in the laundry too!
I eventually started doing Care work there. It was quite a posh, private home, with beautiful gardens and even a lake with Swans in the grounds.
I loved the oldies and got on really well with them. I used to get so upset if one of my favourites died.
I stayed there as a Carer for a good few years until I retired.
I missed them and wish I had just cut my hours instead of retiring completely.
And that's about it. A good variety of jobs ey.
