Hi Everyone
I'm looking for something to do from home if anyone has any suggestions. I was working for a management company who have now sold to new owners. My youngest is starting school in the fall and I really want to get back into something. I've looked at many home based business's but have found most of them to be pure scams so I thought I'd see if anyone has any ideas. I have a communications background from the forces but have also done cell phone sales, lingerie and accounting. (quite varied to say the least.). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I currently do a small business with welcome packs for tourists but want something more

Regards
Debbie

Hi,
At the risk of being shot by every woman on here, a girl who used to work for me in the UK left when she had children and set up an ironing (and small laundry) business. She based from home and bought a little van which she used to collect and drop off the garments. I'm not sure of the charging details (and granted this was in the UK, so geographically much smaller), but she made a great success of it and it allowed her time with her children as she could structure the work around them...so much so that once the children went to school she chose to stay doing this and didn't come back to us.
You may well be looking for something completely different - and please don't do offended...it's just an idea - I don't know any working family that ever has time to do their ironing. :idea:

Not goiing to shoot you down McSporran, thanks for the idea, it is a great idea and fits in with school times and so long as you love ironing am sure there would be a damand for this service


What about a grocery delivery service? Not meels on wheels, groceries on wheels, there are so many old folk in Florida bet they would welcome the service as they may not be able to get out very easily
