MMJ - would you have lashings of ginger beer on Famous Five day?

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.

FairyFay · 28/02/2008 09:47

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.

MrsMuddle · 28/02/2008 10:37

FairyFay, I'd come and work with you.

sushistar · 28/02/2008 14:22

mmm that's a good idea!

FairyFay · 28/02/2008 14:53

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.

anniebear · 28/02/2008 15:46

Fairyfay, you can make cakes for my little country tea room lol

sushistar · 28/02/2008 15:58

Yes, I vaugely wonder about it sometimes. I have lots of ideas but i don't think any of them would make any money
I'd love to make things, y'know?

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!

micegg · 29/02/2008 05:39

I would open a shop selling maternity clothes to people with more money than sense.
