    Congrats IA, that's fab news, do you get a certificate or something?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
  • Ouch Bobbadog! That's definately not good.... may be they'll let you pay in two or three installments...?

    Congratulations Sar on passing the course!!! Do you get a shiney certificate?

  • Well, this is the first morning in about a month I've actually got into uni for a morning class! :eek: Yes, I know, bad me. I still haven't picked up the flipping books for my essay though, as I left the list at home. :rolleyes: I feel slightly better though as about half the class owned up that they hadn't started yet either. :D It's due in on the 25th, in case anyone was wondering. The same day my mystery shopping money comes in and my internet and rent come out. :eek:

    The usual killing time in the library thing. I've got a meeting at 12 about finding a job in the middle of a recession (thanks a lot, uni people. I was still hoping it might be over in 1 and a 1/2 years from now). Then at 1, I have another one on working for charities. Should be relevent as I'm planning on working for the CAB, or I might even see one I like more. I'm just hoping one of the meetings thinks to provide lunch. I've had a cereal bar at 11, but I'm hungry again.

    Again, I've done a marathon post. :D Now if only I posted as much in my diary as I do on here. :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the well wishes, as I said yesterday, I have a suspicion it's a sale job, but if the wage isn't based on OTE or comission then I'll take it.
