Not Satisfactory!
Not Satisfactory!
With approval in hand, we need to figure out a plan to get things moving however, time is in short supply, money for refurbishment even shorter so we’ve decided to put a few things into place to help us get organised.
I have a full time job, have been volunteering as a school governor and STEM Ambassador so whatever we do will need to work around that. Rachel works part time but also sorts the kids out before and after school, plus is usually on hand to ferry them to whatever activities they are involved in that week and the list just keeps growing.
In order to make the most of the time we have, we make a conscious decision to give me a little breathing room so I can concentrate on getting to grips with my degree course as the latest coursework grade reflected the amount of attention I had given it coming in at a paltry 48% (..Satisfactory) in Network Management & Security. Where I found the time and energy to get the planning approval in, amongst everything else isn’t entirely clear so we’ve realised something needs to give.
Given the school governor role has been seriously mis-sold and the three evenings a year has already turned into three meetings, four 3 hour training courses and more home-study than you can shake a stick at, I have decided to stand down and let someone with more time on their hands have a go. Knowing you’re half-arsing almost everything in your life is not a good feeling, so even as I press send on the resignation email I can already feel a boulder of stress falling off my shoulders.
So, given we don’t have the money we need and the weather is awful, we have decided to put the hall roof on a back burner and look at saving everything we can towards getting things started when the weather improves.
