    It was a package we use that my workplace has managed to get at a discount. It is much more expensive in real life! lol. I have done 4.5 hours of work, today's work is not all done but i dont care. I am entitled to a life and pleased with my day!!! No other money spent. 

    It is quite dark outside i am roasting some chicken after a day of low sugars hence eating of chocolate. Yikes.

  • Why are they not supplying it, or extending their licence.
    That's a lot of work for a weekend. You will actually get time off won't you as in both roles it's a lot of hours you do for a part-timer.

    Enjoy your chicken!

    Hope your sugars have settled.

    No there isnt time off as my job involves writing lessons, I am just doing what other teachers do in their first year as i have changed my subjects. It will be better next year as my resources will just need tweaking. I'm hoping sugars calm down as i write lessons. I am doing a survey today and will get £20 for a months trial of a shampoo.  

    Currently doing a whitewash, waiting for trial stuff to arrive and am about to start subject two.

  • That makes sense.
    Survey sounds good. You make money and your hair gets a treat.

    I have put up the bottom part of Henry the tree and will do a bit every day. I am going to enjoy this.

  • I’m so glad you have started to put up your tree. It has brought you joy in past years and it will be bright and cheery on dark & stressful work days 🎄

    lol. That's a very creative way of disguising my laziness. I am home after a looooong day. Including two small amounts of time off i have 8 working days till payday. Hurrah!!! 

    Guess who forgot to take their sandwiches into lunch so had to pay £2.20 for some, however the BLT was lovely!

  • Nah, not lazy, managing available time.
    An occasional premade lunch is fine, allow yourself £10pm emergency lunch money for guilt free eating.
