    Hey guys,

    How's everyone? soo many pages i have missed, i might go and catch up in a min.

    Awww, he's such a cutie Amy, bless him on the sofa relaxing. If only i could lay on the sofa all day watching dvds!

    I LOVE winter, i love the sun too, but i especially love winter. I don't like the rain, but i have no probs with going out in the cold, just love it. I love wrapping up warm, warm jumpers, warm slippers, great.

    Some news - I'm off to New York for Christmas. My OH and I are flying out on the 22nd December, and coming back on the 28th December. My best mate lives in NYC, but i have never spent Christmas in America. Unfortunately my mate will be in Mexico for Christmas, so we are staying at the Hilton in Times Sq. We have stayed there a few times before and its really good, and good value for money. I do feel bad as it may mess up my DF date, as also going to Las Vegas in November, but i have worked it out and it should still be fine. Woohoo!!!!!

    Bummer about the shed Jen, def not worth an extra £75
  • Hi everyone,

    I'm back! I'm exhausted even though I've hardly done anything, I think I'm tired from all the panicking... it feels like I've run a marathon! Luckily there were no introductions but there was a group task, which was a bit awkward as our group didn't say much.

    We had to do tests in communication and numeracy. I passed the communication one no problem and got level 3 which is A level standard (I did English at A level so wouldn't have expected less) but the numeracy test was so hard.. I got level 1, which is a pass, but it is less than GCSE level :rolleyes: I wouldn't mind but I got an 'A' in my maths GCSE! She said it was fine though - there'd only be a problem if I had got level 0 :o

    So, I managed to force myself to go AND I escaped alive - that's good enough for me, for now anyway. I have never felt so anxious in my entire life, but at least I am doing something so am not going to be sat at home for the next year, feeling depressed. Hopefully it'll get easier in time :o Thanks for all the nice messages, you lot are fab xxx
