Dd1 had a great time at flamingo land with rainbows.
Had a play date at home this morning. Then onto the supermarket, was very brave, asked my line manager about a change of contract. She suggested 5-8 on a sat, rather than 1-8. I was hoping for seasonal but would get my Saturdays back. Need a meeting with hr, but finding working two jobs too much at the mo.
It won't help mf, but I need to keep sane and well.HOME

Could you maybe consider tutoring now that you're a qualified teacher? I earn the same tutoring for 1 hour as what I would in a supermarket for 3-4 hours, so a more effective way of earning.Yesterday is today's memories, tomorrow is today's dreams1

A full school term. I pay £25 per child, three times a year, sept, Jan and April. I think it's fabulous value. £75 a year for 39 weeks of fun - less than £2 a week xHOME

Hi summer day, I have considered it. There's a kipmcgrath in the town I live in, about a 10 min walk from home and they were actively recruiting a couple of years ago. They pay £12 an hour for 2.5 hrs a week.
I have thought about private tutoring but as a reception teacher I don't think I know enough about ks2 sats to meet what most seem to be looking for.HOME
