Unfortunately June, I was on the dole for a considerable amount of time, it seems that there was no call any more for people in my profession.

My occupation was/is a sugarcrafter, making and decorating Wedding, Birthday & Novelty cakes and handmade truffles etc. I am now at home with the children and nowhere by me has that line of work, so don't know what to do when I'm ready to go back to work. Stella X
