I'm a semi-retired bookkeeper and also teach line dancing. After losing my beloved ginger, Mel (originally Melody - the rescue thought he was a she!), I couldn't face having another animal straight away: and now that I'm not earning much and everything is so much more expensive post-Brexit and post-Covid, I don't know whether I can commit to having my own cat again. But I desperately miss having a furry friend to fall asleep on my chest during afternoon naps (and occasionally punch me in the face for no apparent reason...). I have previously been DBS checked for different jobs but at the time of writing this I don't have an up-to-date one. I'm happy to do this if required.
