Happiness is far more important than money and anything else in life. You learn to live within your means and means do not matter where happiness is concerned, all told. I think we need a picture of the DMs ;-) That’s a fantastic thing. Happiness is far more important than money and anything else in life.

On the one hand I openly love these shows, but there's a little part of me deep inside which is screaming at the vampire-loving me demanding I stop with all the shenannigans of being so damn fashionable!

Much like Glee now :-). I've never read any Anne Rice (mostly because I don't like Tom Cruise, which is a daft reason not to read her novels!) Maybe I should give them a go.

Never really got into True Blood, or any of the other stuff either (L is into Being Human. Yawn). I think with me it's more about not subscribing to the 'fashion' of the moment. I'm a rebel without a cause ;-) Never got Buffy. Never really got into True Blood, or any of the other stuff either (L is into Being Human. Yawn).

I watched every episode and loved it to bits. I also read many Anne Rice novels (have you read them?), so I did the vampire thing to death (sorry) as a teenager, and to get back into all of that again now would feel like overkill (sorry again). Saying that, I don't think it was the fact that there were vampires in it that made me like Buffy - it was more to do with the dialogue and characters. And I only got into it all anyway because of one of my friends, who very much loved vampires and all things supernatural and gothic. I also don't tend to like fantasy unless it's grounded in reality in some way, so that there's something I can relate to. But perhaps I should throw that aside and embrace the new breed of vampires (especially if delectable men are involved). However, I do love a good musical. I've found that when a non-musical TV series does a musical episode, it's just the best (especially the Buffy one). Sorry for the long winded-comment. :) I’ve found that I have absolutely no interest in the fashionable vampire-themed TV shows and books of today – but I think this might be because Buffy started when I was 14/15.

I've never worked in FE, but I remember thinking that 6th formers were always baffling - no change in attitude from the compulsory days but they were choosing to do their ALevels. Weird, very weird. I hope it's continuing to go well! It sounds like a good challenge to me.

I hope you settle into your new job soon, and that you do like it. :) I know how you feel (a little bit, at least) because my job has recently become part-time too, and I also feel strange for not being at work when I should be (even though I shouldn’t be).

Sometimes I think potential employers respect the upfront honesty and openness more than any of the bullsh*t that people try and spin them. Clearly they saw what we've all been seeing too. You rock; and you deserve to start believing in yourself Missus! I'm so pleased for you, I really, really am. :-) I said this on FB, but sincere congrats.
