    When do you start? Will it make family life and SHS life less stressful? Albeit work may be even more stressful for a while.

  • Really excellent news. I knew you would get this one! Doing a little dance for you. Is it nearer to home? Promotion? Nicer? Or all of the above?

    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D
  • Ok well...

    they had me at teaching A level and the charming female boss helped.

    It will not make life easier but more interesting and I hope to be better valued than in my current job - where I have not really felt valued since my return from maternity leave.

    So its in a way a step back but to open up a LOT of steps forward.
  • Oh and THANK YOU everyone.xxx
