    I dont know how to motivate him to try and improve things in time for the real ones in May :confused:

    The thing is though I have had really alot of sleep, at least 8 hours a night but I have only just gone back to a full timetable with 3 evening classes so it might just be tiredness I suppose.

    I might book an eye test though, havent had one since I was at school:eek:

    Tesco are doing free ones it is on of Martin's top deals. But i think you are entitled to free ones from college if you are working with computers..i could be wrong though.

    He is probably fed up with it all and they will be doing loads in school preparing him for it. Are there any booster groups he can join?

    If you can't get the sparkly bits off BB, could you tie a scarf around your waist in the style of Esmerelda?
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)
