    It is extra hours & wages and I am hoping i can use it to top up my salary . It hasnt been advertised yet and I am not sure if it will work with my current job but i can try! It is a subject i love. It will also make looking for another job much easier next year.

    Sorry to hear that SW. Is it a reduced workload for a reduced salary ? Maybe you can get in quick & suggest they merge the two jobs and pay you both salaries as one job ?

    I am not going to apply for the job as it will be completely 100% writing new lessons and quite frankly i cant be bothered . I will just take my chance and hope something else comes up next year. All i have done vvv slowly is hoovered and mopped. I have a massive pile of admin that needs sorting. It is still raining. I planted a few lobelia the other day and they have drowned!

    That sounds quite mind numbing. Keep your eyes open and see what else pops up.
    Make sure you get some rest this weekend.
