    I've read through it too but don't understand it! Perhaps I need to print it off and have a read that way rather than on the screen.

    I'm tired too after just 1 day...lol oh well only 2 more days to go xx

    It took me quite a few go's to get it, I read it and re-read it again and again, then made my own notes to check I'd got it :o (spot the person who works in the education system :rolleyes: ;) ). Once it clicks its not too bad at all, but it does sound very confusing when you first read it :D

    Tigz I printed all the sheets out...18 of them:eek: But found it much easier to go through when on paper. Sat in bed with it and re read parts. That's the second read I've had, I will read again thi sweekend and then may have a go at choosing something to bet on:confused: hahaha. I'm hopeful I can get the hang of it though:p

    Todays been a fabby day :j :j I have been worried sick about ds all day, he was quite clingy when I dropped him off this morning which is unlike him :o I've checked my phone about every 10 minutes all day long :o Anyway, when I went to meet him his teacher asked for a word :o:o:o .... and she said she wanted to tell me how brilliant he had been all day, he hadn't done anything wrong all day :j :j SO SO PROUD !!!! :D:D:D

    Then when I just checked my quidco account, I've got 15.00 received from s film one I did in 2007 :eek: :eek: I'd written off any hope of ever getting it a long time ago :D:D

    Tigz, nope, no charges, but am happy if you want to share any referrals ;)
