    How long since you split Tenmah?(If you don't mind me asking!)

    It was Aug 31st last year! But I have a feeling he has been seeing her for a while, probably around February I think.

    I have to confess not taking many courses is going to ruffle a few feathers :o



    certainly could - nothing to stop me at all. I've got the hygiene qualifications (I can teach that as well ) and the teaching qualifications - not that they are needed for any private work. All I would need is somewhere to do it. There is a hotel in Bournemouth which calls itself a Chocolate Boutique hotel and they hold courses in making chocolates, away days etc and it's really expensive. I would love to go there, it looks amazing - all that chocolate ;):D

    There's a yoga tutor currently doing private teaching - £35 for half an hour in your own home :eek:

    And think - none of the paperwork I currently do other than handouts!! Am sure there would be lots of other regulatory stuff instead (ie liability insurance) but I wouldn't have to be accountable or have the reams of documents prepared I currently have to have.

    Off to teach in about half an hour. Pfft.

    Hi Burlesque Babe :hello:

    Just had a wee thought when I read your post. I remember a friend of mine mentioning that for one his work's "team building" things, they went on a cookery night, where a teacher would teach them how to make a dish for the evening (or maybe it was an entire three course jobbie, not sure) and then they all ate the meal together afterwards. I remember thinking it was a brill idea and I asked him how much it cost them (as I thought my own team could do it maybe) and he told me that it cost upwards of £2000 :eek:. It could be a very nice earner for you!! I will try to find out from him which company it was if you're interested (though maybe you already know about it)

    Jo :)
