Hi guys

Hi guys. So let's address the elephant in the room. So yes, I have officially left the teaching industry. It wasn't a decision I made quickly or lightly. It's something that just needed to happen. So, as you know, I've been a teacher for 14 years and I'm 35, so I've done a long stint. And obviously, when you have a family, things change and that's exactly what's happened. I've requested to go down to three days a week to see if that would be easier for me because Reuben only has three days a week at nursery that he's currently at and I wasn't willing to sacrifice him going to an outstanding nursery. And I was actually granted those three days. And in that time, it gave me more time to think. And basically, those three days, I'd be up before he wakes up and I'd be home after he's asleep. And it's three consecutive days where Reuben will literally be like, where is my mummy? And that didn't sit well with me that I was paying somebody else to look after him whilst I was looking after other people's children. And we are very, very fortunate that we have multiple businesses where I don't need to go and teach. However, I am still going to be working. People automatically assume that I'm not going to be working, that I've done nothing but work for our business, for our family, to help us create this life that we have got. I am gutted. Like, that I'm not going to be going back to school. I am going to miss the girls. I've had some gorgeous messages sent to me off ex-students. So I'm going to put them in now. Just really nice, just making it worthwhile. I feel like above everything, the family and the students are what I'm going to miss the most. Some staff that I will keep in touch with, some staff that I obviously am not going to. But yeah, it's just a very strange situation for me to be in. We've booked our very first holiday since being 21, which is amazing. We'll be looking forward to that. This me, Hollie, Reuben, my mum and dad, we're all going to Greece. But yeah, that's the update. If you've got any questions or anything else that you would like to know, put them in the comments below. But yeah, here's to a new start. Here's to a new start.
