    Its official - am an idiot.


    Friend of mine gets cheap gym membership at his work so am popping along tonight as a guest.

    Any quick tips for someone who hasn't "properly" exercised in many a year?!

    Just had a lovely chat to a guy at Home Owners Rescue Advice Centre. Seems to know his stuff. Will phone me tomorrow when done his research.
    He thinks I should have had help with my mortgage from 13 weeks not the 26 weeks I've been told.

    :( are you being made redundant?

    Yes. Time limited job, comes to an end at the end of March. I have to get a new job but have got really tired of working for local authorities so quite looking forward to a change, and no 50 mile commute down and up the A19!

    Morning all :D

    I'm stuck in a heated discussion with DH about what subjects DD should choose as her GCSE options. As she really hasnt a clue what she wants to do, I said she should choose things that would give her a good general education. DH says she should just choose the subjects she likes. :huh: :think:

    I'm with you on this Spud. I chose the subjects I liked. Always regretted not doing physics as it would have given me a good science / arts balance and would probably make it easier to move into project management proper.
