not really Ames,

It was a relative of a mate, who was doing me a favour

Oh Elfen don't be upset - is there anything we can do to help? Is Pint around to help you out?

Ames · 23 April 2010 at 6:18PM

Gah, typed a reply and lost my connection when I hit reply.

Elfen, I really think you need to be pushing for more support. You're at uni, which is stressful and bound to be affecting you but they've just left you to muddle through on your own. I've come so far in the last year since I've had a worker to see every couple of weeks. Have you thought about getting in touch with PALS or MIND to see if you can get an advocate to push for your rights and interests? I know that the powers that be don't really offer much when it comes to BPD, so you need to really push it.

Did you pay him for his time though? I know there's mates rates and favours, but that's not an excuse to take the piss like that.

Hi...still on track for my flight to HK tomorrow. Beginning to get a bit excited now (although I think the bubbly is helping that along nicely).

Will be around tomorrow till early afternoon.

tenmah · 23 April 2010 at 6:23PM

Oooh Suzy, not long now! Are you all packed, got your passport and boiled sweets?

clairewop · 23 April 2010 at 6:26PM

How much did you pass/fail by? Why did you think it was hard? Won't the second time be easier?

I needed to get 59 out of 109, I got 44 - having said that it was a few points short on each section (about nine sections!) We did the whole thing, about 15 hours studying a day and two exams in a week so I was exhausted. I need a wee while to think and to see some past papers. The exam was super tough but maybe with more time to absorb the info? I don't know. Anyway have a night out with alcohol (and a few friends!) tonight so that should help.

As some of you may remember that week was compounded by my last two days being spent with the European Auditor, with the discovery of someone having binned about 8,000 leaflets and with legal becoming increasingly hysterical. Not sure how I got through the last day.

Must go and put my slap on

Thanks all for your kind words, you really are lovely people :T

Claire,
Have you paid him? If not, consult with Trading Standards and maybe deduct the costs you have incurred and a charge for the work you have had to do to put his work right. You have a right to expect the work to be done to a certain standard and for your bathroom to be 'fit for purpose'.
