My DD has finished her PGCE and she has found herself a job! :j:j

For reasons I can't comment on a public forum, the deadline to write the thing has moved from 1 year and 8 weeks to 8 weeks.
When I left research I went on a course like yours. It was a strange college that just trained college lecturers, including a faculty that trained the ones in teacher training colleges and in an Escher-like recursive loop that included themselves. Fantastic place.

If they don't do it many days per year it is feasible. I didn't know whether this is something you would consider for Margate. It could be quite edgy. It has to be run past the local authorities, but some are happy to allow it.
It's a real burgeoning trend and many do get in touch with us for stock. They are usually run alongside a FB page and have 'parties' every so often.
The problem for us a supplier is their main USP is to sell under the normal price (as they have low overheads and no VAT...in fact most are run as cash in hand I would guess) and then that lower price is sitting online and visible in a search of our brand name.....which is a nightmare as we are supplying mainstream chains or independents who need the full mark up from cost to run their businesses.
We do supply one in Lebanon + another in Saudi,,,,but don't do any UK ones as the grief would be too much.
To use the Margate house for our product wouldn't probably work as the house is 4 floors and narrow and our current target customer/customer demographic isn't very 'Margate'....
In fact our current customer is mainly overseas in very faraway places.......just had some good FB from the recent delivery to Iraq.:)
.............however, I do have A Plan for the future and a nice freehold shop down there would work (as the flats above would cover the costs) and it need only open 2 or 3 days per week. We will never return to F/T retailing in the trad format.
It is the idea we had when the Brighton store needed to change after it got crunched.......interiors, upcycling, niche 'local' made household textile items and so on.
I just reg'd madeinmargate.com today........for one day in the future.
You staying with Mum?Excited, me?

I'm really looking forward to coming back to England. 2 years is too long. I'm coming over strangely, and unusually, patriotic.

I really enjoy living in Aus but somehow I just couldn't imagine spending the rest of my days here.
Good to read.......hope it all goes OK:)lostinrates wrote: »My 'date' with the new consultant went so well he cannot wait to see me again, and we're hooking up for our indecent filming sooner that either of us had counted on. He is rearranging his diary and I mine to try and fix up a date next week.
It's not serious though, just a little more pressing than I had gathered.
Congrats to GB's dd.
Son is loving his new job.......hard to say what as it would ID the place but eg...when the audi ad is banned, he did that.0 -

It didn't seem that easy to find a job. She applied for 3 jobs and got turned down for all of them. For two of those, though, she was in competition with teachers who had been teaching for a few years. It was still rather disheartening for her, and she needed quite a bit of encouragement/help to start applying again.
Then, the next 2, she was offered both of them, which was quite a relief all round, really.
Anyway, it worked out well. She's going to a good, fairly local, school, so she can live at home with us for a while longer and save her pennies.
And thanks, Spirit.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Huge congratulations.
Three rejections seems not bad at all to me. What's average for teaching...no idea? But that seems pretty darn good....I won't say easy, as I'm sure she's earned it and wa stressed hard by the rejextions too.0 -

That's the thing, if its good for all involved its all good and fine. I think most people are a bit of a mixture of definable and not....like that autism scale. There are times I know ....well.....yeah.....I think its like the autism scale, lets leave it there, huh?
Well, you saw my result - I'm the only one who has (thus far) admitted to being other than totaly straight / not capable of definition! But then, I knew that (-:10,000 words in 8 weeks having done no reading? Anyone else think I can write a Master's level thesis in that deadline?
Yes, most definitely. But start now!My DD has finished her PGCE and she has found herself a job! :j:j

Congratulations, Miss GDB!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Congrats Misskool. Where does the work life balance fit in this plan for your future?0
