    Thank you. I'm struggling today though. Only at 32% of question 4. It's slow going...I'm not even doing a hard question. :rotfl: Might have a nap in a bit and see if that helps kick start ye old grey matter. Don't think in all honesty I'm going to get much more than this one question to done today. Thats really bad. I'm out on Tuesday as well to go prom dress shopping. Naughty me.

    EDIT: Now at 45% but have a sore throat and a headache. Going to have a nap whilst my laptop charges a bit me thinks.

    It is half term and I am taking Friday to Sunday off...but have to work super hard in the mean time. BOO. The prom is 24th June, but it's pretty much the only time we can all go shopping. Man, I'm ready for a holiday...ha ha.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Wow twinklie, you are doing sooo well, and sound so motivated with the marking. Mine starts just over a weeks time, and will be all consuming, I know! Good luck!

    Have just checked to see if they have any vacancies left for marking since the AS exams haven't happened yet. They don't, boooooo!

    Courgette,
    You really don't want to do marking this year when you have Gherkin and you are about to go back to work ft for half a term. Leave it until next Jan when you aren't working ft.
    Starting again 13/4/19
    Home loan 1: £21,102.50 Home loan 2: £7,698.99

    I agree. I feel like I have enough on my plate with just Belle...let alone a wee one to consider! That said, there were no vacancies displayed for what I'm doing, I just sent them an email and they responded by offering me a contract. Odd.

    They don't anyway (secretly relieved). Bit scared at the moment though, what if I don't get anything :eek:

    I know, iti'll all be fine, lots of skills etc :cool:

    Look into some tutoring and exam marking for next year if needs must. But I KNOW something will come up. We are still advertising jobs at my workplace. It's not even because of people resigning...we just need more staff, but have only just sorted timetabling issues and so have only just discovered it.

    And just to keep you informed...I'm at 70% of question 4 now! Woo hoo!
