    scaredy, beanie - thanks for what you've said, but it's really hard to see that right now.
    bunny, if he'll go with you, it'll be a good thing, it'll help you talk to each other

    elfen, can you accept it as we have seen this in you?

    Pap - when you've done it, could you do some volunteering at the local deaf school (just off Falcondale Road if you don't know where it is!). Or do you have an alternative plan for using it?

    Sounds nice. Can you ask her whether she'd like to adopt a 43 year old?

    *hugs* bun.

    evening all.

    I heard this song on the radio -so catchy and so nice to hear proper singing in tune and harmonious voices http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OfsZyYPLoI.

    Also - I passed my dissertation thing - thanks everyone for your help. I've studied for them off and on since 2002 so it has been a very long road. Am now hoping to do a masters degree, as I can "top up" my professional studies byt doing another disseration! 15k words this time :eek: Need to keep the MSE lifestyle to pay the fees :eek:

    I will just volunteer really, I have already looked into the deaf school. I did dip my toe into uni, which is levels 2 & 3, but I don't think it will eer happen. However I could do levels 2 & 3 as standalone units. If i reach level 3 I can actually be paid to sign which would be amazing. For now though I just want to do level one which is £320 :eek:

    Kat,
    I'll probably be starting one in just over a year if I want a Masters in Housing. I think I'm doing the right thing but keep having little wobblies.

    We can compare notes on the 18th :eek:

    Are there any grants you could get? Going off at a slight tangent, have you thought about Makaton? or is it definitely BSL that you want to do? The Makaton course at my local place (pm me if you want details) isn't too expensive.
