  • Awww, one of the ladies just knocked on my door and gave me a bottle of perfume she bought me, she said it was to say thank you for helping her sort out her housing, yesterday she said she thinks I was sent to her from god (she's very catholic) as before I came they seemed to be getting nowhere fast with the housing situation.
    It made me cry! they keeps saying I should go and train to work for SHELTER lol
  • Hiya everyone.

    Just checking in.

    Things are a little calmer here today. Have resolved to try to take things in my stride a little more. Busy, busy day at work but managed to close a few things out that have been playing on my mind.

    Hubby is well and truly on the mend and has agreed to look after Benjamin on Wednesday night so I can go to a work function in Manchester. Not entirely convinced he is up to it but I need a night out :o

    Benjamin's standing and walking is coming on SO much!! It's really funny, when he faces me he walks towards me laughing and when he faces Ken he stands waving and wiggles one leg like he is Elvis :rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks for being there everyone. Just saying something on here has kind of started to straighten my head out.


    AND I have started making arrangements to see a very, very dear friend in April :T:T so looking forward to it.


    I have read back but TBH I don't remember anything :o

    Uhm... is it for a specific course you plan on doing? Usually there will be some sort of access course at NC/NQ level that will lead you into your course rather than GCSE's.

    ETA, I know that up ere, the access courses ask for GCSE's (Standard grades to us) but due to equality rights or something or other, they have to also offer a test to prove that you are competent at that level. So, because I couldn't prove my Standard grades, I sat at a computer for 15mins doing a test that showed that I totally could add 5 and 5, know the difference between they, their, there and they're and know what a hyperlink is. Then I got a bit of paper saying that I was clever enough :D

    Psycology, but as i dont know were i'm settling, probably wont be able to start proper college until next sept, so thought of just doing english and maths GCSE's as something to occupy my time and get under my belt.
    I have an NVQ level 2 in health and social care.

    DKAM.. have a gander at learndirect they do GCSE's .. BUT you do need to go to an assessment centre for tutorials and the actual exam. I think OU do some too.. it does depend on the subject though.
