aaww cheers
I am going to have so much reading to do before the interview - loads. I've found out what they department does and the basics of the section of the childcare act that they need a presentation on, but I need to read up on a load of initiatives and government proposals - on top of everthing else!
Talking of everything else, had a bit of a gutted feeling when I input my totalled money for May and I am only on to get £625 - only £8 more than this month so another slog ahead of me through June, I hoped it would be more. It's going to be a heavy month as I have teaching twice a week which is good but won't be paid until end of July, plus the other jobs.
So, £625 plus £81 WTC = £706. Which means I need to do £450 on AQA in June to break even for the July bills.
It probably means I won't be able to overpay on my first CC again in June, just the minimum repayment
right, I have today and tomorrow to get as close to £126 as I can on AQA to break even for the month ahead. I am not looking forward to it."Stay Wonky":D
