    Hi Bob,
    Don't know whether you have heard but the DfES are currently giving money to schools locally for 10 hours one to one teaching. This is both at primary and secondary. I know some of the local secondary schools are looking as they cannot find this time from their staff. At secondary it is meant to be targeted at those who received level 3 at SATs - so a primary teacher is ideal as it is meant to target Years 7 to 9. Somewhere I have some info that is on DfES website on the one to one work - might be found if you searched. Just a thought but one secondary has been given 19K locally and I think might be willing to be flexible as the money has to be used this term and by the next year - 09 to 10. PM me if you want further info,

    Just a thought,

    Maggie

    £35 a month on an overdraft :eek: But yes, people don't realise that they are actually almost always more expensive than a credit card! Just because it has the words "authorised overdraft" doesn't mean that it is cheap!

    That is so true Hypno..we have a buffer zone which is free and that is my target.

    I have to train Mr.B that an overdraft is a debt!:o

    Hi Louise nice to see you:D

    Thankyou for the tip Maggiem it is very much appreciated and i will approach some local schools with regards to this:beer::T:A

    Cheers ISOM. Ours has a buffer zone of £250 interest free too, trouble is i pay my half of bills in, he pays his wage in and the rest seems to pay Mr.B's stuff off, hence the large amount. So i am thinking of the matched one at Abbey which will sort us out nicely and no fees and £100 back. PM me the details of your bank and i will also try and get one for me as every little helps.

    Cor went to slimming world this morning and have lost 2 lbs. Chuffed as i have had a couple of lapses as in a bit stressed related.

    Other news, have received a couple of letters back for Mr.B re charges claims, these are just the we acknowledge your letters but it is a start.

    Hopefully working this afternoon, just waiting for phone call, but they are leaving it late. Right off for a ring around and chivvy those agencies if i haven't heard about contract.
    Didn't hear about the other job, must have had oodles of applications..*sigh*

    Have a good day everyone.

    Cheers Beanielou.

    Well no work this afternoon and i have just been busy running around getting guide stuff sorted. Will claim my monies back tonight, but i am sure i have diddled myself out of a couple of quid somewhere. £21 due back on that. Should keep me going the rest of the week.

    Fruit and bread bought, we do make loaves but are rather good at eating them as soon as the come out of bread maker..*cough*

    And as i am in confession mode with Mr.B's stuff we now total around 40k mark..shiiitttttteee!!! Just goes to show how stuff runs off with you. But quite a bit of that will be off when car goes and loan goes so have to keep my head down and keep going.

    So target's to be made will be in running total soon. HE MAY GET TWO BEANS ON HIS TOAST TONIGHT.

    Runs off waving guide flag in doolally kinda way.
