I'm not a settler I'm afraid - which is why I'm unlikely to ever be married, but its not a huge problem since I dont want kids anyway

(thanks for the responses by the way I was curious is all)

Becky....please do NOT be offended by this comment, you sound so much like me when I was young. I am never getting married and having kids was my cry! I have been married twice and have four children......(still not sure about the marriage bit!)

Opposites attract and my other half is as unsociable as I am sociable. Good job really cos I would be dead of alcohol poisoning or in some kind of institution otherwise....thing is with relationships is you start in one place and then you either grow together as a couple or grow apart.. Things happen along the way that change you as a person for one reason or another, be it illness, hard times, children, relocation...etc and sometimes the OH is not at the same stage, sometimes a little behind sometimes a little in front.

Anyway mine has just arrived and gone to bed! cos looking after Chloe for a week has worn him out..:rotfl:(and it was his mother who looked after her!)

Not sure its the kind of holiday read that Sally was after:rotfl:

how about the chi book of running:D

becky_rtw

Nah if you're going for a running book it has to be the bible 'The Lore of Running' but I'd quite like the Murakami book on running actually (hes a running addict) - I think its called 'what I think about when running'

Actually - some of his books make great holiday reads - especially Kafka on the shore (I think its called that anyway)

I think Maz for 'better' read 'bigger :rotfl:

well, how coincidenctal. Just popped out to drop Charlie off (he's been with me this afternoon) and an ex colleague cycled by. Her OH qualified as a teacher 3 years ago after re-training. He is desparately trying to get a job as it's all short term contracts and there are 140 people applying for every primary post vacancy in Dorset !!

Anyway, she said - why don't I do a PGCE?? Apparently there is tax free funding...and there certainly is......

Training bursary

Trainees may be entitled to a tax free bursary from the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA). The size of the bursary depends on when you start training and what subject you train to teach.
For those starting training in 2009/2010:
Subject you train in

Mathematics £9,000
Science £9,000
Information and communications technology £9,000
Design and technology £9,000
Modern languages £9,000
Religious education £9,000
Music £9,000
All other secondary-phase subjects £6,000
Primary phase £4,000


I could either teach secondary drama, media studies, cooking and get a 6k bursary........still not enough to live on though unless I was teaching in the evenings AND AQA'ing.

Thing is - if I continue with my part time teacher training I'm currently on, I will be the equivalent qualified by 2011 for teaching adults - which includes being a lecturer at an FE college .
