Music too but office based, hoping the few contacts I have over there can hook me up, it's a SMALL industry!

We are going out as theatre nurse (me) and OH is a scientific officer. No job for him yet but thanks a million to Deutchmaster and Smartini who have given him a bit of hope and lots of helpful info on jobs in this line

We are both Accountants

But I won't be working for a bit, as we have 3 kids (youngest 11 months) but if I need to, I can. Rather not just yet! Get the kids sorted and then think about work when every ones settled
