I left school after taking my CSE's, doing well in Needlework and Art, and went to Israel with Kathy Mordacai for six weeks.

When I returned I took a temporary job as a Receptionist/Telephonist which launched my career in that field for a couple of years until I started my own business as a Dressmaker which I ran for three years in Stoke Newington.

I missed working in town and took a job at the Playboy Club making costumes for the Bunnies for a while. I then went back to working in an office and progressed from Receptionist to Travel Manager and finally Office Manager during which time I had the opportunity to travel to the USA several times, the Philippines, Thailand, Dubai, Sharjah, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and many parts of Europe.

After being made redundant twice (the second time on Christmas Eve 1991) I started my own IT and softskills training brokerage which I still run. I have 700 trainers on my books which can be quite an challenge at times. For my work I have travelled to Pakistan and parts of Europe. Although I've packed away my suitcase as I hate travelling now.

I'm still single although have been with Mark for 8 years. Last year I splashed out and bought a new MINI Cooper which is my baby.

For those who remember my parents, I lost my lovely Dad in 1986, my Mum is fairly well and remembers most of my school friends.
