    Ames, that's fine hun - will add you to the list. Do you think they will do 10 portions each? Or less?

    Not sure we need 100 portions of dessert for 100 people tbh, especially if there's a birthday cake too - any objections if I cut it down to 70 or 80 portions?

    There are a few people on CD, and there will be others on diets/not bothered/too drunk for dessert, and some of the desserts will go further than 10 people anyway.

    A banner or two would be good if you are looking for decorations - pink and silver theme if possible.

    Basically I've been chasing exam application forms for the past 3 weeks for my 2 cohorts who are sitting their final exams in May.
    Phoned the examining board for the 3rd time this afternoon and was informed that these candidates are apparently not registered with them and have no candidate numbers despite all the registration forms and paperwork being sent to them (copies dated & kept by me) back in March 2008 when the course started.

    What REALLY made me angry was the fact that I sent them the request form for exactly how many candidates were sitting their finals 6 weeks early. I mentioned this fact today to be told "Oh, we never looked at those!" :mad: !!!!!!!

    Why the f*ck do you ask for them then? and, if you had checked them, you would have realised back in December that you had no records of these candidates and we could have had this sorted instead of having to rush around like idiots 3 weeks before the closing dates for applications!

    ****AAaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!****

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

  • Oh Linda, no wonder you are fuming!

    It sounds like a good job you were on the other end of the phone and not face - to- face whilst sorting out the issue.
