Nice Luc, but the mattress costs extra.
We decided against a cot-bed (only becuase the academics and clinicians I work with don't have anything nice to say about them)
I'm feeling a bit more alive today, but was a bit perplexted when I refreshed the screen at 10.30/11am ish to see closed for maintenance thing... so decided to do some work and got quite engrossed in it:o
Hope everyone's day's going well.

They do something called romany creams on South African food store sites. Might that be the same thing? Kind of crumbly chocolately biscuits sandwiched with a chocolate filling?

ooooooooh, similar Luc, similar
Maz - I have to keep the teaching and the admin separate as they are classed as 2 separate contracts. They don't know I do AQA (they don't need to know so I just keep it private) but yes, the money is better for teaching - around £16 for the teaching and I'm on £7.50 an hour for the admin.
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Just checked my emails and my friend is coming at 6 rather than 7.30!!!
She wanted to come just after 5 :eek: but said she could 'amuse herself' until 6 - I said - yes, please amuse yourself!!!!
Back to cleaning frenzy! :rolleyes:

...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

Apparently, according to the telegraph Gypsy Cremes were rebranded as Romany Cremes to be more PC... maybe they are the same thing?26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

Playing devils advocate here... how much does AQA pay, and is it garunteed? Could you bump AQA for a couple of months if teaching income covered it...? Would you want to?
or just pick up AQA at really quiet times on weekends when you might be surfing or whatever anyway... i'm sure loads of people will just work minimal hours for them...I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
