gratefulforhelp's austerity measures

I am doing GCSE for one lot and AS for another. Interesting grateful decision...

Good luck with the marking. I have 400 English literature papers looking at me reproachfully. Must be very tough to find the time with little children. Just OH is bad enough and starts to get attention seeking when I am marking!

Thanks, squirrel good luck to you too. At least I am not teaching at the moment.

I do attention seeking, too, when DH is marking.

Well DD1's room is on the way to civilised.

I am finding this marking VERY hard work....I really can't be arsed and am currently wondering if it's worth it. Clearly by the fact I keep getting stopped when I marking (3rd time now, twice on one question - once on another), I need the experience though. Or when I start teaching this in September I won't be preping my kids very well. Hmmmm.

Stick at it, you will crack it and it really will help with your results.

It's the time child, the little girl we saw regenerating at the end of the second episode. I'm sure there would have been an immaculate conception, Dr Who is sooo biblical.
Dr Who is a metaphor for Jesus/God.

New plan is use DH's inheritance money to pay off max allowable in 2011,2012 and 2015, 300 quid a month extra plus 2k marking money each year.

Really wanted to ring BS to check figures, but forgot was babk holiday.

OMG....Rory won't be happy. Forgot about the "time child". Man, there have been so many other things going on in my life just recently I've not been paying half as much attention as I usually do.

Yey you on the plan. Sounds tough but good. My plan is to save save save now - still going to do the basic overpayments in order to pay for fees etc when it comes to moving. Yawn...what a sad life I lead. Ha ha
