So...LabView saved me from posting the same answer!
Nice one!

And naturally you were dying to do it
Or are you at the point were you struggling to think of something new....

No, I've got three in my "WSO CCC" file ready to go when I need them - I just don't want to monopolise the game! Or force someone to do it again the next day - except Pompey boy with the FSOW of course - that wouldn't be fair either.
Pompey boy is fair game for torture, given his solution is always the same anyway!

Yes. I got a few up my sleeve, but when I look closely at them, i start to have my doubts they're any good. Sometimes it the best of a bad bunch of what's left

Or you spend ages getting them right...and some b@st@rd solves 'em in 30 seconds...

I think that's better than than not having it solved. Feel like a puzzle maker failure then.

Hectare? Anagram of teacher, not quite sure if that's what bought means?

I reckon so

Congratulations. You're up tomorrow. The bought didn't mean anything, just a puzzle filler

Time to don Worzel's thinking head.

Cryptic clues are supposed to have two parts, the definition and the cryptic bit. In this case the cryptic bit should include a word or phrase that suggests the answer is an anagram. Something like (over simplified):
Teacher mixed up but got some land.

I agree. It's easy with hindsight. It's the foresight part I struggle with.

Me too.

That's why I try to write them well in advance, and leave them alone until they have "matured". If they still make sense, I'll post 'em.

Well I'm currently working my notice with my current employer and start my new career next month. I'll be building responsive web sites and hybrid mobile apps using tools including Bootstrap, Telerik Platform and Cordova. These are technologies which I am not familiar with so I'll have to get learning. I'm at least familiar with web technologies (HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript) so this at least gives me a headstart on building web enabled pages.
Having previously used Xamarin.Android to build cross-platform mobile apps, it will be interesting to see the differences in building, testing and deploying hybrid mobile apps.
Should be fun. Exciting times ahead

As far as I know I'll be using AppBuilder but could also be using other technologies. I've been having a play with the on-line tutorial and am very impressed

Can't think why

An additional "Good Luck" from me too. I'm now 7 weeks into my 12-week notice period, counting the days (just 25 left) until I'm free of "workin' fer the man".
Both my fiancee and I have decided it's time to start up a business for ourselves, and will be offering web/applications development and support into the property management / conveyancing industry (initially just local) with ad-hoc consultancy where we can get it. To keep the boat afloat we're also going to offer small-office/home-office setup and support in the form of network/infrastructure, VOIP, server admin, desktop installation and optionally PAT testing to those same local businesses (and as many others as we can get!)
It's all going to be very small scale (read: low income) compared to app development in the financial sector, but I want to look back on it in 20-30 years and say "win or lose, I gave it a shot"...
Maybe it's the mid-life crisis doing all the thinking here
