I've set myself a target of doing £150 on AQA between now and the end of Monday. I don't have any other distractions (ie teaching, office job, teaching prep, teacher training work) so I'm going to try to get my head down and do some work. I'm estimating it will take me around 18 hours to achieve, so 6 hours today, 6 hours tomorrow and 6 hours Monday.

Did a shade over £60 yesterday on AQA. Should have carried on really as it was quite busy but i'd done 6 hours and my brain was a bit tired.

Off to see Charlie and then will carry on working this afternoon. Definitely have to do £40 to ensure I have done 2/3 of my goal by the end of the day but could do with doing more as I don't think it will be overly busy tomorrow.

I....erm.....got a bit distracted yesterday . Computer crashed a couple of times so after doing the updates I decided to try the lates wii game I'd rented :whistle: and I played it all afternoon and would have kept playing if the batteries in the wii remote hadn't given up the ghost

Today, I'm feeling.......lazy .......I'm a nightmare, I really am.....:doh:

thankyou

I haven't posted for a while because I was boring myself, so I know I was boring you lot :rolleyes:

Yep - I got the job I went for I'll be full time from Monday doing 2x 18.5 hour posts and then a bit of teaching and AQA.

My new (office) salary is £18,000, and with the teaching, I should now hit the 20k mark

The 2x posts in the office will bring in £1175 after tax and NI and will cover bills and petrol. I've averaged teaching to 2 hours per week across the year (a bit more than that but that would cover the holidays) and will bring me in approx £100 per month after tax, which covers food and then any AQA is debt busting on top of the minimum CC payment (already included in the monthly budget).

It will mean 37.5 hour week plus 2-4 hours teaching and prep work so around 40 odd (depending on the unpaid teaching prep time). I'll have to see how I feel as to how many hours on the weekend I do AQA - even 'just' a Saturday will probably mean £200 per month.

I still have a lean time to get through as my first full time wage packet for won't hit the bank until the end of September so I am going to have a bit of a rubbish time for a few weeks working full time and still doing tonnes of AQA to get me through Aug and Sept.

Had an amazing time in Weybiza. It was great to see everyone and finally meet Toto. She is wonderful, an amazing woman. Her children are gorgeous and I have never met such a happy baby!- she does actually exist folks and is not a bat, sweaty bloke called Stan who dips out of the meets at the last minute for fear of being rumbled :rotfl: She was very generous to let me stay with her in the Weybiza caravan.

Met jacs son, what a polite young gentleman he is.

I've bought a cheapy bottle of rose to celebrate but as OH isn't here yet and I'm now knackered, I'm not sure I can do it justice!

Next stage is to try to get the next 18.5 hour job - a new post in the department - which is going to be advertised this week. I would then drop the admin. post and would be on 21k plus teaching.

I told myself I'd be in a full time job by the time I went on holiday in October.

I WILL be at a salary high enough by next July to be able to change mortgages.
