    This is the link for my course, I got it free because it vaguely relates to some of my self employed work. It is also free if you get certain benefits. Be warned, there is a lot of technical drawing and you do have to buy a few bits of kit.


    I still haven't sorted the kitchen, came back and played with the boys. I will get off this chair and do something, or I will when I have finished my cup of tea.

    Will anyone do a HHC with me 16.45 - 17.15??

    So much to get done, need to stop watching Noel and get on with some cleaning before homework. Ahh its weird saying that after a whole summer of doing nothing. I have sooo much uni work to do its not even funny. Ahh well. Who's up for that HHC?

    Thanks hex - have had a look and its toooooo professional for me - I am definatley not at that stage!! I would be out of my depth there I think and I cant draw!!!! Will have to look locally and see what ther is - the other problem with your college is that I am in Scotland so the funding might have been a prob.
    Good luck - at least now I have you and flower to ask for help!!!!!

    30mins kids room
    oven cleaned
    TD loaded
    WM loaded

    I am seriusly lacking enthusiasm! Tomorrow I need to get up early, get dressed, get make up on and then I will be a bit more alert. FLYlady is right on that one, your not ready to FLY till you are fully dressed! (for me anyway).

    Kids did help tidy their rooms though.

    Dinner.... Pork chops I think (if they are still in date)

    I might do a 15, think that's all I can cope with at the moment! Child A is wandering around in a daze so I've just sent her to do her tuba practice, child B is messing around on the tent and being told off and child C is rummaging through my drawers again!
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Ya know that we don't have fees up here right? You apply for course, you get in, you apply for bursary and your fees are paid, even if you dont actually qualify for a bursary.

    Unless it's night classes, in which case you can still get some for free.

    Go and see your local college.

    I'm full time on a NC course (3 full days) and get childcare paid (for DS2 thats 5 full days as he has 'special needs', for DS1 3 days after school care), I get just short of £400 a month bursray and my husband makes a good wage working full time too.

    Oh and I only have to turn up 80% of the time, which is good given the way DS2 has been lately!

    Anyhoo about 100 yards from home DP phones to see if i calmed down, obviously i hadnt, and tells me we have a viewing tomorrow morning (wooooohooooo) Well I skipped the last 100 yards home. I am grinning from ear to ear even now, atlast i can have a look at it properly and make a definate decision. If we do accept it it will be another 2 weeks before we can get the keys, but atleast we'll know what we're up against.


    I am sooooo Happy!!!!

    *skips off to kiss kids and dance around like an idiot*

    Am so pleased for you SummerMoon, I know when we got this place I was over the moon, and went round to have a look with my aunt - we phoned up to see if we were near the top on the voting thing and they said we had it as it was a HA property, so no vote - i cried my eyes out...
    Best of luck tomorrow, have fun...
