Just received a 2:1 BA (Hons) from University of London after 4 years hard graft. And I mean hard graft. I've been bringing up 2 young daughters after the premature death of their mother aged 30 from cancer 3 years ago, and never thought I could get through my studies and be a full time dad at the same time. But I did it, and I did myself proud. One of the happiest days of my life, and importantly I'm told I'm doing a fabulous job with the girls too. They're very proud of their daddy today. :beer:
Only when the last tree has died

As a student father myself I can somewhat relate to the pressure of bringing up children whilst studying for a degree. I totally take my hat off to you.0

Thanks everyone, I'm really chuffed!! :A
I hope it may encourage others who have perhaps been thinking about taking the leap.
You're never too old - go for it!!!Only when the last tree has died
