I wanna be mortgage free!

Lorne

Well done for planning ahead, I'm looking forward to moving from debt free wannabe to mortage free wannabe too.

Good luck with the studies

Twinklie,

You might want to try to see if you can get into AQA - you can do it whenever possible in the evenings, etc.

I am in my third month. Its not big money (people say they earn £300 per month part time, but I am managing max £120 by doing it in the evenings or the odd weekend and then its taxed).

AQA the exam board?

I've applied for marking positions with exam boards but so far the only one I got offered included a standardisation meeting down in london which would have cost me a fortune...so didn't happen. Hoo hum.

Looks like the play scheme is out now too. Doh!

Got a job interview but I'm not going to go. Everyone I've spoken to says the school is a nightmare so going to avoid that one me thinks.

One of my friends applied for a job at the school where she did her placement, is it worth asking if they have any jobs coming up?

They had interview for a job there on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the closing date was just as I started my placement. So I had no idea about the job because in truth I'd not started looking yet.

Anyway, I'm well on the way with the application process. Had to knock back my first interview though because they gave me less than 24 hours notice to prepare an hour long lesson. I was on a full timetable more or less that day too so had no time to prepare.

To be honest though I figured if they are that disorganised, would I really want to work there? So I'm not too fussed. Would have been good to go for the experience though.

Hoo hum. I'll keep plodding away. I have 2 other jobs to apply for. One is a MASSIVE long shot and the other is a possibility, so fingers crossed. The closing dates are a month (plus) away though so plenty of time to get prepared.

I'm such a loser. My hubbys out and I have no idea what to do with myself. I'm so bored its untrue!

What does everyone else do when the OH is out?

I ended up having a total Poirot fest yesterday - ITV3 had three episodes (that I'm aware of - may have been more!) so I watched the first and last and recorded the middle one. I love Agatha Christie stuff and art deco, so it was a treat for me!

Hmmm....I guessing I need to figure out how to have some free time alone. He goes away for a few days at the end of this month on a training course.

I just ended up folding some washing then going to bed after watching Jonathan Ross cos I was so bored. I even picked up some lesson planning stuff before I told myself to get a grip and put it down. Ha ha

I want to be mortgage free too. Cant see that happening though for a while

Chin up Cassie, join me in living the dream. Theres no harm in lurking about the forum and picking up hints and tips where you can. Thats my plan anyway.

That and leaving the country at some point. Neither of us want to stay here anymore.
