I found it. I am not ready for it yet. My bottom line is about 1500. The stuff about wasting money is so true. I sit here today almost every Saturday and feel exhausted. That cannot be right. I think my place is about to get more stressful. I will be ready soon.Alchemilla said:I always thought I would teach until 60. I'm leaving at 50 and I'll be taking my pension at 55.
It is worth watching The Pit Pony video by Sharon Cawley on the tube of U.
The funny thing is I typed an answer first that said I was happy to be pit pony!
Madness.

That is a must-watch for anybody getting out of teaching. I just wish it had been around years ago. It took me years to get to that point.Alchemilla said:

£1500 is only £75 per day @ 20 days per school month. You could do that.Buffythedebtslayer said:

The room was a disaster.
I didn't get anywhere. AT ALL.
I have started doing some work - sat in the living room which is very hard to manage. Trying to copy and paste stuff. I loathe google. I think I will have to download and work on it directly on the laptop.
all this has made me realise I need to have a desk. What a waste of a day.

Not a disaster if you now realise you need a desk. You can have fun trawling shops which sell desks, online or real, charity shops which specialise in interesting furniture. I don't have room for a proper desk so I have a long narrow console table in pine which I bought new for thirty quid quite a few years ago. It has two drawers. You deserve a desk.Buffythedebtslayer said:
