    pap - why not contact your council - most have a interpreters unit and may be looking for trainees - i know in scotland there is a huge shortage of interpreters and some initiaives to help them.

    Wages for interpreters are pretty good, especially freelance!

    Claire they're gorgeous. I love Per Una but their sizes are a bit too small for me, and their prices a bit too big!

    Pap, that's a shame about the fee waiver. Hopefully MiniLaura's advice will apply to your area.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Thanks Laura, I didn't think about that. I shall give them a call and see if anything is avalible. I can't find any info online but I am sure there must be something avalible.

    Thank you :D

    I think its the 'norm' now Ames, as Kayleigh has said the same about her college. I think its bad though especially for those on a low wage beacuse a course would enable a higher wage etc. I know being off JSA etc is more a priority (to the government) but a little help for those who wish to better themelves but are 'trapped' in a low wage would be great :o

    Anyways...

    Good advice from Laura Pap.

    Claire~dress is fab.
    Would have had one for my hols but there is only a 16 l left.No other sizes at all.
    So popular choice there then.

    Butti, have you signed up :T I can't wait, although I need to try and cover some more distance :o

    I have signed up - Can't run for another fortnight, till the eye's healed a bit more. Then have to try and double my distance to 7 miles :( Not sure how easy that is going to be.

    Mum bought me a 16, and its that type of material it shrinks so when i lose more weight it won't look to big, at the moment its very clingy, but looks ok apart from my tummy.

    Do you think its too early to look at clothes size 14? lol a few bits i fancy on ebay lol
