What do you do for a living.

I'm a Premises Officer for Surestart ( part of the Council ), have worked as a PO for various council centres for over three years.

Have also been a Greens Keeper on one of the council golf courses...and until a year ago was Grounds Maintainance on Evington Park..until returning to be a Premises Officer again at current centre.

Was quite a few years ago a Nursing Auxillary at the the City General Hospital, in Renal, on the Kidney Transplant ward.

Loved the job and the people, but eventually the long hours and bl**dy awful shifts took their toll on both health and nearly marrage..so left nursing.

Many years ago when I first left school at 16 I was a cutter in the hoisery..infact I learnt to do every aspect of working in the trade.

I then worked in finishing printing, starting off with Collating ( putting letters and flyers and stuff in appropriate envelopes and boxes ) and then jumped at the chance to run the machinery..I then became an enclosing machine operator and also ran the folding machines..

I am (and have been for 23 years) a carpet fitter. I have been self employed since the early 90's and I am finding business is pretty good for me (credit crunch??? what credit crunch) I sub-contract myself out for 3 days a week to United Carpets in Melton Mowbray and I do a day a week for a family run carpet shop in Blaby, the rest of my time is taken up with my own established customers, and yellow pages/yell.com work.
It is a great job because I get to meet new people every day, I am somewhere different every day, I am my own boss, so no one looking over my shoulder whilst working, and most importantly it is pretty good at paying the bills!
There was a time when I thought I would like to do something more academic, but short of me becoming a barrister or doctor, I don't think I could afford a career change now.

So for all your carpet needs "LEE FEEL FREE TO CUT FROM HERE ONWARDS" contact Rob at www.thecarpetfitter.com

Also,rob fitted our special 125th anniversary carpet at our school....with the school logo in the carpet. It looks fantastic.
