    Ah Gemma I'm sorry.
    Anything else in the pipeline apart from the course?

    it's annoying, because I decided I don't really want to do the course anymore but as I've already applied I may as well go through with any potential interview stages, just as an experience and to get a review of my portfolio..

    so no, nothing. Looks like I'm stuck here :(

    Awww, Gemma, I am sorry it's bad news, but I do believe that sometimes things happen for a reason, we just can't always see the big picture or where life is taking us. I am sure something even better is just around the corner, so don't be too disheartened.

    Doors close, doors open :A

    Cathy, have you won an ITV comp!? :j
    But there are dreams that cannot be,and there are storms we cannot weather!

    Gemma - when you get home tonight why don't you sit and think about what you want to do, and then look at how you can achieve that? This door has closed but there might be another opportunity soon. I hope so. xx

    Cathy - no, not disappointing - great for you! A friend is an Accountant and is struggling too! Really pleased you've got it done.

    Katie (and any other winners too :)) - Congrats :D :T

    Gemma - Hopefully there's something even better just round the corner :)

    Laura - can you send the duck to gemma to cheer her up??

    On a lighter note, I think I just nearly killed the UPS bloke.....he just delivered my years supply of laundry stuff and decided to try bringing the whole lot at once from his van......not a good idea, we're on a slope so he had to go down hill (6 heavy cases on a wheely thing) then around it a bit then up a flight of steps. Why cant men do things the easy way and drive 15 seconds further down the road where he can pull into our drive and up to the back door:rolleyes:
    Just become FTBs & Aiming to be mortgage free by 2034 :wink:
