I hope you are keeping that bench warm. 6th is my last day. And with banks taking 4-8 weeks for paperwork, I am going to be spending some time in Wales.
I am thinking of using that time to :-
1. Get a HGV licence. I am only provisional.
2. Apply for fostering.
3. Look into becoming a teacher. I have a maths degree - and it seems there are not many maths teachers around.....Comment
