Funnily enough my other half has burnt out from teaching and wants to leave. One of her colleagues works at ASDA now and is happy as a pig in't muck. We sat down for a long discussion about this not so long ago.
SWMBO - I can't carry on. Can I quit teach and go working a in a supermarket?
ME - Can you f**k.
SWMBO - <some other stuff about me being a taxi driver or something that I didn't listen to>

I've often thought about doing voluntary work between contracts, just never got so far as deciding what type I'd like to try that doesn't require some basic skill/aptitude to make it easy to get into.
At least then there's no messing about getting P45s/46s to sort out multiple income when still being paid via Ltd while on the bench or worrying about higher tax thresholds over the year.
For now I'm enjoying plan b, doing b****rall.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

CBA to read the whole thread but the idea is a goer, keeps you from getting bored, only thing I would watch for is the more you earn the less dividends etc you can take without having to pay top rate tax on it, something to consider at leastOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

Some of my best jobs were temp roles, most were leave your brain at the door roles but they were no stress, good banter, leave the end of the day forget, money in the bank.
The more I think of it the more I find it appealing to try and mix things a bit more. I do think though would agencies take me seriously as even the temp world they want seasoned temps who they can rely on bit like entering the contract world, your not taken seriously and can be hard to get work until a few gigs under your belt. You hear nowadays to stack shelves they want 5 years experience.
Right off to dumb down my CV.Comment

Hang around the local Polski Sklep and whilst trying to work out what the food is in the tins by the pictures ask the 'locals' where they get the cash in hand temp jobs.
Should be loads of vacancies with all the hoo-ha about brexit 'scaring them all back home'. Might find some interesting stuff to eat/drink in there too, and probably some eye candy as well.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
