I joined the site a few months ago but didn't update my profile and introduce myself but now the children are back in school, here I am !

I am a mum of two, Scott is 12 and Jessica will be 11 at the end of this month. I live in Cardiff have a wonderful husband Mike and we have a labradoodle dog called Archie.

Back last year I hit 40 ! In December I had a bit of a mid life crisis and decided I wanted a change. I have always worked with my husband Mike and been self employed but had heard alot about internet marketing and wanted to give it a go, so I went for it and what a huge learning curve it was.

I now love every minute of it! It was the best decision I made and it has lead me to opportunities in life and people that I would never have come accross. Sometimes I think we just need to go with that gut feeling, although at the time I don't think Mike was very impressed!

I look forward to getting to know you all.... Bye for now]]>

Good evening ladies.

My name is Jo and I run Seeking Serenity - a Virtual Assistance company in West Berkshire.
I also own a networking group especially for mums which starts on 1st September - the group provides low cost entry, lots of great advice, speakers and welcomes the children.
I am also in the process of arranging an event in Thatcham, where local mumpreneurs can buy a stand and sell their goods/services.
There is also a small 'jumble sale' of which the procedes will be donated to local schools.
This event is on the 2nd October which is the start of mums in business week.

I am 32 years old, mum to a 9 (almost 10) and 8 year old girls, step mum to a 16 (nearly 17) year old boy and mum/owner to a nutty 11 month old springer /cocker spaniel cross called Echo - who is West Berkshire Search and Rescue dog.

I love organising and being organised, and try and help people as much as I can.

I look forward to speaking to you all ]]>

My name is Angela from Brighton. For 8 years I worked in a office for a importing group untill I had my first child 2 years ago at that point I left full time work. Since then I have worked in various at home party plan style businesses and to be honest most of them had been done by so many people that it was so hard to find people interested in hosting parties. I was at a loose end for six months but was very keen to start somthing that captured my imagination and earned me some decent money. Through a friend I heard of Wine at Home Ltd, They are a wine company that have a newtwork of self employed wine consutlants. The idea is that after training you are able to host your very own wine tasting parties. The emphasis is very much on fun and enjoyment. I have been hosting parties with them for over five months now and have to say its been great fun and I have developed my business to the point where I am earning a steady recurring income. I have always had a love of wine (maybe a bit too much) and this has really worked for me. I would highly reccommend this to others that may have been in a similar boat to me. They dont look for any prevous experience within sales or wine. They also provide the wine for my parties free of charge. you can contact them directly www.wineathome.org
