    No idea about a metal detector - could you try ebay?

    Been trying to catch up with work today, plus all the competitions that I didn't enter cos of being away!!!!!!! I will win, I will win ............... Also got to take Ollie to dr's later but will try harder tomorrow !!!!
    Tried ebay but they're more expensive than the shops:eek: Go Figure!:confused:

    I didn't realise you were a 'comper', I tried it when I 1st joined this site but I lose momentum when I don't win anything or hear anything back. I almost take it personally:o
    Yep, feeling sick, very sick and dizzy and am also constipated, which never happens to me, not with my IBS, it tends to go the other way IYKWIM...far TMI there, sorry


    DO NOT GIVE UP TWINKLIE!! Its hard, but it will be worth it in the end!
    What's educational psychology twinklie? What do your qualifications enable yo to do? What's your grand plan? Nosy, moi?! :p

    Oooo Bitzer, fingers crossed and less than a week til test;):DI'm the other way, I'm going AT LEAST twice a day...normally a once a day girl!!

    Atm I'm a secondary science teacher. But my passion has always been with psychology. Basically if I did it I'd be doing an on the job based PhD in educational psychology (my degree is in psychology)...it has loads of different areas that you can specialise in. But essentially I'd be helping "young people" develop strategies to help them learn, working with kids with learning difficulties through to social and emotional problems. Also help train teachers how to deal with certain things. Thats the easy version of what it is. :)

    I don't know what I'd actually do till I did it if that makes sense. Its just an area I've always been interested in. The grand plan is to escape the country and live somewhere were we can have a better quality of life (outdoors).

    Thing is, if I did it I'd be tied in for 5 years. 3 training and 2 working or I'd have to pay back lots of money. Boo.

    Oh that's a shame I love ebay!!! I buy nearly everything apart from toothpaste :rotfl: although i'm sure I could probably get that if I looked hard enough!

    I am a bit new to this 'comping' only been doing it since July and I am convinced I will win big!! Only 2 lipglosses so far which is not really what I had in mind - need anything that I can sell on, or a lovely break away. I am starting to loose heart though that I will ever win anything but will stick at it for a while as some of them have quite long open dates .............

    Hi guys,

    Just to catch up:
    Twinkle - 5 years is a long time, but if you really want to do, then the time is nothing in the grand scheme of things, and the money at the end when you get the job will definately help you to escape. Plus its another string to your bow to help with any emigration rules! Thats my view anyway, though I couldn't do it - not enough motivation. The 3 years to get my Pyschology degree was enough, even though I loved it!

    Bitzer / Confuzzled - going too much / not at all - both sound promising. Fingers crossed!!!!!!:wink:

    Emmzy - I'm the same when waiting for people. If I have made to effort to wait for them then they should have the common decency to turn up.:mad:

    LL: Sorry to hear AF got you. But New cycle, new opportunity.

    Lol Ebay is good:D I buy pressies etc off there but really need to start selling stuff instead of buying it:rolleyes::rolleyes: Totally skint after this hol and it must be bad if I'm starting to worry:rotfl: I tend to take the ostrich approach to finances:o:o But I'm trying to improve:)

    Ooh, sounds really interesting! I ended up in psychology by accident :o It sounds like a great plan, and to me its always better to try something than not. Go for it sweetie, 5 years is not a long amount of time, it seems it from this end, but not looking back. ;)

    emmzy - I hate it when freecyclers do that!! :mad:

    Thanks guys. I'm going to an open evening for it in October to find out more anyway. The only thing stopping me at the minute is one the application process is closed until next month :rotfl: and also I don't actually know if I have everything I need to do it. So I figure I'll get to ask questions of the right people.

    Fingers crossed. Also kinda depends on what my OH is doing as well. He's 40 in December (I'm only 28) and so he's feeling his biological clock ticking, so we have to figure out how to factor a family in if necessary. Obviously if I got up the duff while doing the course I'd have no maternity pay to fall back on. Hmmm.... Fingers crossed I'll have a bubba first then could wait 3/4 years for the next one. :D

    Hi girls :)

    Just a quickie

    Saw friends baby yesterday. Cuteish, things were tense, had lots of cuddles and didn't feel too broody (defence mechanism was up and running I think). DH did say I wasn't at all right when I got back though.

    I'm either 13 DPO or 5 DPO ish.

    Think I've got AF type back achey pains which means 1st OV was correct which I guess means I've had a chem preg :(

    OR I'm having AF type pains for another reason. I MIGHT do a HPT tomorrow but then again I may not.

    Have decided not to use OV sticks again after this months fiasco!

    Don't SS too much you 2ww'ers!!;)

    (((HUGS))) to everyone
