I used to be self employed and did drama workshops with children and would I love to do that again but I can't seem to get my house and kids organised never mind anything else! I have also been a karaoke host which was great fun as I love singing. Another thing I would love to do is be a gigging musician - I sing and play guitar (a little) but not rally good enough or have the time/energy really.

I'd make homemade cakes and sell them to all the cafes around here that have horrid factory-made cakes and charge a fortune for them, or I'd have a lovely cafe and sell them myself.

Are you looking for a business idea sushistar, or just wondering? I'd love to start something up properly, but I am just not sure what I could do from home, with 2 young DCs, and still make enough money to make it worthwhile.

I'd like to sell luxury items for larger dogs You can get such cool stuff for kids and little dogs, but not much for large breed dogs...

Oh, and I'd like to run introduction courses for families with dogs who are about to have their first child, so fewer dogs have to be rehomed for this reason.

Told you I was mad about dogs!
