I am currently working at home 24/7 as a mum to 2 boys and I work as a Thermomix consultant in Perth WA. I am a high school Art teacher, not currently teaching. My last teaching job was at an all boys school.

I  was a teacher of mainly young children and for the last year so was a deputy principal. I loved my job, but love retirement better. I occasionally do some relief teaching, but would rather be home playing with my TMX.

As well as playing TMX I'm now the Treasurer for the local Model A Restorers Club as DH is into Model A cars.  I also do 'the books' for DH and his brother who  are the  Admistrators appointed by the State Tribunal for their Mother.  Believe me the Model A club ask for less than the State Administration Tribunal.
Also do a bit of volunteering and lots of travel.

I was a sales rep for many years - in Veterinary products which is where I met Thermomixer -and then human natural medicines.  Now I am a Thermomix consultant and setting up a business based around helping people lose weight through uncovering emotional triggers & then changing their mental processes rather than relying on willpower.  I say I am in waist management!!!


ANYBODY interested in JaneeZee's area of work - please send her a PM
http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=86 - thanks. Inserted/Editted by Thermomixer (she said she would be happy to do this !!)

We were Book Distributors for Lifetime Distributors (you know those cheap books you get in your work places  ;)) and power sellers on eBay and a couple of other auction sites. Also had an Internet Marketing business at the same time. Have given both up WOO HOO  ;D ;D and now am a TMX consultant along with DH who is training this month.

OMG JaneeZee, i NEED you! (seriously)

meagan, i am a trained high school art teacher too :D however have not taught since 94 lol

i've mostly been working in the disability field / community organisations for the past 15 years.

at the moment i am unemployed and having a hard time finding something new :( i can only work part time, and need to be fussy about my pay rate becuase of the costs of child care on top of just not wanting to do certain things, work in certain places etc. *sigh* it's not a good time to be looking atm...

Maybe we should set up a private thread and have JZ receive payment for her professional advice ?

The photo in the Epicure was great because they hid my waist !!!! - love Eddie Jim the photographer - talk about silk purse from a sow's ear.

I work in birth, pregnancy and postnatal services. Doula (birth support) for past 5.5yrs and just finishing a midwifery degree after 5 years of study.

Now also a thermomix consultant which I am loving and having a bit of a whirlwind at the moment that needs to slow down just a little so I can focus on studying.

We are all in good hands with so many teachers here!  lol  I have so much admiration for all teachers - I think it's one of the most demanding and definitely most underpaid professions  ;D
I am a Speech Pathologist (paediatric) ;D. Only part-time at the moment which suits me (leaves 3 days of the week to dedicate to cooking with the TMX  :) :)).

I am a Registered Nurse.  After having nearly 5 years off with children, I went back last year.  I am currently a Level 2 in Endoscopy which is a day procedure area where we do mainly gastroscopies and colonoscopies, in a private hospital.  I am also studying - a Grad Dip in Clinical Teaching as teaching nursing is my passion.  We also have our own business which I look after the accounts for.
