We know Lucy works in a dentists and Rachel and Anette are teachers, but what does everyone else do? If you're not working what do you do to keep yourself busy all day?
I'm a Buyer by trade but have also helped run a business before. At the moment I work for a web design company supervising 8 homeworkers who put travel brochures onto the internet. I also sell handbags, Elvis memorabilia and Schleich animals and obviously smurfs from a retail outlet near where I live. And obviously there is my ebay, amazon and website business. Oh and I also have 4 kids, two of which are pre-school!
In the past I have been a manager of a shoe shop, worked in a travel agents, worked for a housing association doing accounts, worked in unit trust finance, worked for an office furniture manufacturer doing production and purchasing, done accounts for a Packaging company and I've also written a book. A real mixed bag! I've worked for myself for 5 years now, I miss getting out and meeting people but this is where these smurfy chats really fill that gap!
So what does everyone else do?

What this actually means is that I travel around different schools as an instrumental teacher. I teach cello, double bass and bass guitar in small groups and individually and I also conduct the local youth string orchestra. The age range of the kids I teach is 8 to 18 and from beginner up to music college entry.
