    Yes you've got to take some good from it:o!

    Don't go back to the start, life has changed so much since then most of it probably isn't relevent any more. Studing Social Sciences at college and hoping to go on to uni next year - a long slog for an old lady:o:D

    Ohhh I looked at that a few years ago when I was looking for something to do my HND in - unfortunately as I wouldn't have got any exemptions (my HNC was a totally different subject), I didn't do it and stuck with Boring Business :o:rotfl:

    Would love to go to Uni & finish my Degree .... not going to happen unless there's a lottery win or I find myself a sugar daddy and think the lottery is more likely:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I have an HNC in a completely unrelated subject but hadn't got funding for it so was allowed to do this (work paid before).

    A lottery win would be nice or a sugar daddy, if you find one let me know if he has a brother :D, I got a good redundancy package which is the only reason I could afford to do this. But I am trying to keep as much as possible to see me through all eventualities...
