  • Does that mean you're moving in with your gran on 1st Feb? That's fantastic! Best of luck with the presentation, I used to hate them as well, but mine were always in French or Spanish to add to the horror!

    Yeah, it was meant to be June but I asked if I could go early! It will be hard not having my own space again, and the really long commutes to uni, but the fact I won't have to cook or clean will go some way to help that! Plus she's only charging me £45 a week for food, bills, everything. :D

    God, I'd hate to have to do your presentations then! Why is it when you have something hideous to get on with, all the other little jobs you had been putting off suddenly look so appealing?! :rolleyes:

    Great news about staying with your nan, it will be nice to be looked after and will take some of the pressure off you.

    Good luck with your presentation - i am sure you will be fine though!

    Oh my god that thread, I wanted to just die reading it! There were so many times when I just wanted to scream at her but I've restrained myself. I think everyone else has done it for me :rotfl:
