    I've emailed my Mum and asked for either shower gel, the flat kitchen scales or a gift card for Tesco or Asda.

    I've also just sent my CV and an email to the head of the school I've just finished teaching the sixth formers. I've said I feel I could be of use to them for short/long term cover, a few lessons per week etc in either cookery, media or drama. Perhaps I'll hear nothing, but as I now have a relationship with the school teaching some of their pupils, I thought - why not??

    and boy do I need a grope!!! (I typed group first and perhaps though that was a Freudian slip fantasy coming out :rotfl:)

    Just popped out and got the local paper and there's a 21 hour a week job I am going to apply for. It's a Data Protection Officer and is 22k pro rata so not the perfect solution but it's a job I could do (it would even use the Health & Safety qualification I did for free through work!!!!) and the salary would be better than the 14.7k pro rata i'm current on.

    And it features brave men on boats on rough seas :D

    Grope/group.....whatever you fancy.... :D

    Data protection officer sounds cool - I always wanted to apply for a similar job where I work, but it never came up at the right time. Then I got sucked by underwriting, and now I can't escape! I'm addicted to crushing peoples dreams with my trusty red 'decline' stamp....


    (kidding!! :D)
