Well, whaddya know? I got the job. 😎. I had a phone call and it sounded like it was going to be ' it was lovely to meet you, and thanks for applying, but we've offered elsewhere'. But no! I was wrong! Twas me that they wanted 🤣

Pip thinks I'm going to make my fortune. It'll certainly be good for my mental fortune 😁.

Congratulations apple! Obviously you still would have left the school regardless but it's good that you now have concrete things in the pipeline!

Congratulations!  That's lovely news, I'm really pleased for you.

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Smug face is firmly on here😎. I didn't think I'd done very well in the interview, so was thinking of it as practice for the next one...

Thank you everyone

I've realised that I now have 3 jobs! My teacher one, exam board marking (which might possibly become 2 jobs this summer as I applied to another board last year and got on their books) and now invigilating. But as to how I'll divide my time, humdinger, I have no idea! Up until the end of August, there will be 8 months of teacher, about 2 months of exam marking and an unknown amount of invigilating (possibly up to 3 days max per week for the periods I'm needed).

Once I hit September, life will change majorly, as there'll be none of the three. Yikes! At the mo, I'm imagining that I'll craft and maybe sign up to a couple of regular indoor markets... Anything to not spend...

So 2023 needs to start with keeping a close eye on and recording my spends. All of 'em. And not procrastinating about recording them. Maybe set a time twice a week to do it...?

Enough wittering.

Pip has crashed, as expected. It's really been a week of crashing... And they're meeting a friend in town this morning...

Welcome to the world of the 'normal year diary' and the 'academic diary' running in tandem. Plus the phone calendar.  It is fab you are going to be able to have 'the Summer off' like people imagine teachers do anyway.   You little star you!

To be fair they would have had to be out of their tiny minds not to grab you and hold on tight.  Don't let the management of your current school get inside your head.  You don't need that nonsense tainting you.
