fraid so... I couldn't aford anything better at the moment...!

rent is cheap, but travel is expensive & I miss out on household meanstested grants & things...

I wondered if you might head down the PGCE route; it's tough, but really rewarding! I taught a bunch of Y5s an art lesson this morning, and they interpreted it in so many diferent ways, I was really pleased! (specially as I was being observed by my tutor and it was a generally good lesson!)
