@Deni_debt-free_dreamer I'm watching Holding too. Have you read the book? He's actually a very good novelist. The character Breda in Holding was the headmistress in Derry Girls.1

Haha WW and m_f - I don't pay NI on that role (it's not my main FT job but one of my PT jobs, 10 hours pcm). So my monthly payrise is 10 x 23p less tax - it won't change my life
@Naomim - oh thanks re Derry GirlsI have read A Keeper by Graham but no other novels, i would definitely read another one and have 2 episodes left of Holding
