Ok, so I've had a terrible week at work and 3.30 couldn't come soon enough today! Yesterday was awful, 1 of my kids (I teach in a school for kids with severe and profound difficulties) had a major fandango as I call it which went on for about 40 minutes, during which he bit me, breaking the skin so had to go to A and E to get it checked out! Thrilling eh? Just so glad it is only 5 more getups till half term! Anyone else fancy a moan?!

Pros It is home based and 17.5 hours a week It pays 1.5X what I get now for 18 hours (for 18 read nearer 25... you know how it is!)
