    well would you believe this :j:j:j. i looked at the OU and you could download sample work to look at - its looked a bit to intense for a return to eduacationer like me, so i went on to my city council college site. To cut a long storey short I start my course on "palative care" in january and starting Jan 10 to march 10 care courses are on special offer for FREE :j:j:j. I explained to the lady "Michelle" that i work with adults with special needs and also have a brother with special needs ( who will one day be in my care, another reason i must get my act together) and she said "I have lots of courses here for you that would enhance your career and look fabulous on you CV.

    Well what a morning, i am just soooooooooooo excited.

    Big thankyou Redsquirrel for that idea. You can put that on your 3 things to be happy about today list. You have made me very happy indeed.

    Yay, well done! I'd forgotten about local colleges, they have some great courses there. Sounds like it'll be useful and enjoyable, win win!

    What more do you need? Compare that to how you felt a few days ago, you've come so far so quickly!

    yes indeed Ames it does put things into prospective. It makes

    Latte's, underwaer i do not need, last time i counted i had 28 bra and knicker sets ( thats excluding black and white oddies that dont match), 14 bags 5 pairs of trainers 5 pairs of boots and no idea how many pairs of shoes/sandals. Other wastes, 4 diarys, pens and note books i could supply WHS, reading books loads of them, I just did this one last week so i know its accurate 12 pairs of jeans:eek::eek::eek: and 11 coats. they just dont seem that important do they :j:j:j.

    Ames i would like to say well done :j:T:j:T on your weight loss. Overspending and overeating go hand in hand with me. 3-4 stone overweight :eek::eek::eek:. its affecting my health now, not in a big way but i can see and feel the damage its doing. Well done to you. :A

    God, Bloojeans, you're going to running courses to sort the rest of us out soon! You're really going for it. Fantastic!!
    2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
    2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
    Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!
