Munchki - name the dundee company!! PM if you wan't i'm nosey.

Ikkle - where abouts are you?? i'm house hunting in Dundee.

heheh I should have all the full details tomorrow morning, will pm you then! i think it is that one we found online!!

well, all tucked up in bed now with the lappy and eastenders. feel completely rubbish *sigh*

Saucey, if it were me, I would probably go with option B and probably for the same reasons you have already mentioned and considering. It will also work well once you relocate to Spain as it is online which is a real benefit as you go. LOL, still have lots of thoughts running through my head.

Yep, it's all confirmed. Thanks everyone It's good having people other then OH to ask their opinions...I think I'll go for it. I shall write my withdrawal letter now.

Sorry for taking over the thread...

I'm struggling to see any negatives about the course B option then? I agree with the others that you should go for it. If it's not for you, you haven't lost anything as you're not progressing very well with the current uni by the sounds of it as they're not responding to your diversity issues. Uni B sounds like they've already been very proactive - and having BPS is a huge bonus as that alone could take an additional year. You go girl! x

Munchki - congrats on the interviews, that's fab news! Hope you get the result you deserve. Maybe check out this for jobs too - there's not an awful lot on there at the moment, but many some transitionary positions. http://www.fife.gov.uk/orgs/index.cfm?fuseaction=home&orgid=60304273-A856-11D6-BF4D0002A5349AC9

Saucy - who is the second degree with? Are they definitely reputable? There's been a few online training providers going bust recently.

Emminetly, thank you so much for the big rewrite, my phone has been going non stop since I sent it out! Thank you also to everyone that has offered hints and suggestions. When I finally get a job again it will all be down to all the lovely help and support I have had on here!!

Ooh Saucy that sounds so exciting! YummyMummy, what's pink drink, I'm curious? Have started to apply for JSA, will hopefully get some advice on getting back into work - I say 'started' because I got halfway through the process then they had a power cut, they rang me back but my dad had come round. Will I ever get half an hour of peace and quiet to talk on the phone??

Well done Munchki, hope you get what you want out of the jobs : )

Personally I think life is all about taking chances and nothing ventured nothing gained.....follow your gut instinct hon, generally it is not wrong,

I want to know who was so kind to share their cold with me lol, I feel miserable and have a temp. yuck. think am going to take the lappy and go to bed lol

well had the one job interview today, it went well I think anyway, maybe know something tomorrow. I have another one tomorrow and a second phone interview with one up in dundee in the morning. she said would take about an hour! better than driving 6 hours up there lol

sorry your feeling pants.... (ooer!) it was probably my DD, I must have sent the bugs over with the virtual tea and choccie!
Glad the interview went okay..... heres to tomorrows!!

Saucy - go with plan B..... its sound far better than A and will fit in perfectly with your move to Spain.... imagine.... sitting in the Spanish sun, getting a tan, doing uni work and gaining a degree at the same time! FAB!

ikkleosu - thanks for those links..... they might just come in very handy!!!


Mrs Money - I find if I start an item at 99p it sells at 99p.... it is worth taking a risk, researching completed listings and then price it for what you want.... you'll be surprised! As for Bingo.... I had a look at some free sites but the time it was taking me I decided was better spent either on ebay or sorting other stuff out..... Have a look at the cashback sites, even if you have to deposit some of your own money they often have deposit £10 and get £20 cashback... instant £10 and the possibility of a win too.... remember to walk away if you have used all of your deposit money though......

Packing up some more ebay sales.... they are coming in quite nicely at the moment.... waiting for my bargainous monsoon dresses... can't remember who wanted my contacts.... sorry but their mine! I have other wholesalers that I might pass though! Always worth asking mind you!!

[EMAIL="Bl@@dy"]Bl@@dy[/EMAIL] cold here tonight....

Hales - update fir you!

Please be gentle......

Mambury
Get shot of all old kids clothes - most on ebay now... I will be listing the rest next week if the kids behave themselves!!

off to stare blankly at the tv!

thanks Mambury - I've turned you green!!!

Saucy, BPS would be the clincher for me. I looked at psychology degrees (would love to be a child psychologist/developmental psychologist, but getting a bit long in the tooth to start something new now) and many online ones were not accredited. If you are planning on staying in Spain, you would need to looks at what qualifications they need, I guess, but it would be a good start.

You should do it too!!! It's never too late - I know many people who have started new careers into their 40s and 50s. Look into it - it looks good, if i'm looking at the right one! You can start in April
