    No wonder that you are feeling blue.
    Sorry I have no bright ideas.
    Could you maybe do some private tutoring?

    Got me a shiny new job and even better news is it starts in November rather than January, with the chance of some supply work before that. Should run till summer next year as well so plenty of time to get looking for longer term posts too. Had a really good few days with that and the tax refund!

    And also hubby is changing where he works in the company he works for and will be on a few pence more per hour AND won't have to do any more rolling doubles over Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He will just be doing 8-4pm Monday to Friday, that's it, no more weekends.:j
