- Freelance writer, at home in my pyjamas
Most recently I have been working at home as a full-time carer for our cat. It may be time to spread my wings a bit.
Quite frankly I'm surprised I haven't worked in a bookshop yet. It seems an obvious choice - but maybe it's not just browsing all day long?
What do you think I should do next?

a bookshop! a bookshop! it would so suit you and you would be given such a large discount :) I have joined your gang but seem to be enjoying not working more than you - the bump is getting bigger and the bump has a gender - a little girl - little being the operative word I hope. Speak to you soon. Claire xxx
A little Claire Jr! Wow! How lovely for you two.
Enjoy your time at home with your bump

A book shop sounds pretty cool. How about a handmade goodies shop. You could combine it with books and other indulgences.

Receptionist at a very lonely desk outside a state government department in Victoria - Ah yes, I remember it well. I used to look forward to covering your lunch break during my own dull temp job at the same government dept.
