Hi gargrave :wave:

I have read through your diary from the first post (slow day at work) and just wanted to say that I've found the way in which you've kept plugging away at the companies you owe money to inspirational (and just a bit hilarious!)

I certainly wouldn't have had the cojones to make use of elected local officials, MPs and the like to help my case and it's an idea that a lot more people on these forums should try. Have any of them actually responded?

My GF has given serious thought to training as a midwife, although I worry that she may not enjoy it as she doesn't have a medical/care background at all! Where did you study?

Have subscribed and will try to keep up to date with you and Blue Jean's race

All the best, edinburgher (Glaswegian by birth, honest!)

The race is well and truly on:rotfl:! Though I think I'm the tortoise at the minute rather than the hare but as they say it's not over until the fat lady sings (I'm not the fat lady by the way:p)

Double points - inspirational and funny!:p

No response from my MP yet, but being frugal I sent it second class!:rolleyes:

I studied at Glasgow Caledonian, and I didn't have any medical/care background. I'm glad I've done it now although the course is a'lot harder than I may have initially thought! The bursary was very helpful (around £600 per month), and kept me going without getting further into debt. Its a hard course, but worth it in the end although the jobs situation isn't great in Scotland (hence most of my thread).

Thanks for subscribing, BJ seems to be ignoring my offer of a race! Must get on to her - I need the competition!:cool:

Hey hey hey - I'm not ignoring it I just forgot to reply. And to be honest I was cheating a bit incase you forgot and I got a head start:rotfl:.

I'm sure the GF could cope (if she's nuts enough to go to uni for a 3rd time She's very bright and I have no doubt as to her abilities, just don't want her to end up in another job where she struggles to find employment in Scotland.

The central belt seems to be a bloomin' hard place to find work in anything even vaguely specialised. My first library job was a carpy summer post, after 30+ applications...

We're both librarians at the mo and moved to London last year for work (60% pay rises for the same jobs). Hoping to come back to Glasgow next year to settle down nearer to family and because I'd like to retrain as a chef and the courses cost 1/4 of the price in GGow!

Good luck with your plans, regrettably the job situation is pants in Glasgow for midwives. However this is a particularly bad year to be fair with one unit closing down :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I am the fat lady by the way! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Would like to lose some blubber as I lose my debt, for that holiday we will never be able to afford:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well yesterday I went out with the girls from my class, as it was the last day we were all in uni together. We went for a £30 all inclusive meal and drinks so it was good on the budget. However the food was rubbish, therefore I didn't eat anything and ended up heading home after 3 glasses of wine straight to bed:cool:

Feeling rather rough this morning, and working tomorrow:eek:

Nothing in the way of updates because the postman walked right past my house this morning - the cheek of him.:D

Looking forward to our race, very envious of your £5k lead. Me thinks I could be in trouble:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
