    Hello BB, Hello Bunny xx
    Nothing like a day off when the weather is carp. Sitting in the conservatory listening to the rain lashing down ( at least it save me cleaning the roof off Mrs P!! ).
    Not at work today Bunny? Or have I missed something...
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    it is mad Bun :( I didn't think the Tuesday night course would run which is why I said yes to Tuesday morning, but it is running. On top of that, I need to make sure there is dinner for the 2 evenings as well as anything else which crops up!

    Hi Pepe-thanks for pm's ...My DH runs up against the hours problem now and again ..he can only fly 900 hrs a year,doesn't sound a lot but believe me he works flat out! When that happens they take a trip off him or give him a shorter one.
    BB- you a cookery teacher then?
    Out for coffee later with friends and then looking in on BF's mother who is over here looking after kids while BF is in NYC.
    Debt-free...and staying that way...

    yep. Part of my re-start in life, I started last term. I work part time in the office and then do some teaching hours. I do cookery but also do office type stuff such as presentation skills. It's all a rush and the pay for the 3 jobs I do (with AQA, I'd guess my annual income is around 12k) is still appallingly low and it's a real struggle to pay the bills each month but I'm gritting my teeth as I'm hoping to back with a full time job and a good salary within the next year. I took the decision to start again, so I need to put up with doing as much new stuff as possible so I can put that to good use at some point for a new career in adult learning in some way.

    It's going to be a full-on 10 weeks though. I'll need my holiday at the end of it!

    European Directive is such a load of ***t! I am here preparing meeting notes, for work, about Working Time Directive 'Workplace Agreements'.....I have to account for this time as part of same!
    Also still ploughing through huge Planning Application ( as a Local Councillor ) for a Secure Immigration Removal Unit the Home Office want to build locally....technically that time has to be accounted for as well. But I wont.
    Think I'll give it an hour and chuck it back in its box! Dont agree with some of it but its a Home Office Application using MoD land so they'll do as they please and stuff the peasants!

    ...and the Great Crested Newts..
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D
