Janet’s story

Janet’s story

I have been single for over 15 years. I used to work as a flight attendant but originally trained as a hairdresser. When my marriage ended, I carried on flying for a while and living in my flat, but my when my parents passed away, I inherited their home and for the first time I felt I had the opportunity to foster a child, something I had wanted to do for years. My friend is a foster carer and she inspired me to look into it. I now have been fostering for just over 12 years and no two days are the same.

The team know my pets have a habit of joining meetings. I usually start the day about 6.00am, reading the morning papers on my phone in bed before I face the world. It is not normally that long before I need caffeine to kick start the day, not a great habit, but most people have one vice and coffee is mine.

On a good day I will start the day with some mediation and yoga, – I love YouTube for this, or I use an app on my phone. On a less focused day, the TV goes on for half an hour while I eat my toast and enjoy the quiet time before I get going.

I usually wake about 07.00 and listen to the radio whilst having my first cup of tea and a stretch. I am in training for a long bike ride, from Milan to Venice, raising funds for Women versus Cancer, which has been postponed so many times due to Covid, but we are more hopeful this will happen this year, so there is a sense of urgency, on my part, to get back into training.
