    I do admire anyone that wants to go on with study, I hated school. My parents said I couldn't leave at 16 unless I got a job, so I did....did my GCSE's, passed them all and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

    Pooky, they think some of the pressure is due to people like me who are going back in as a mature student. Applications from that group were up 65%.

    My parents were kind of the opposite of yours. They were classic 1970's - my brother's were going to university, I needed to meet a man who had been to university. They needed a degree, I needed a job in nursing/teaching/secretarial. The set up was very much of its time. I think this is why I am so driven to get qualifications.

    Think I have stopped rebelling against it now but still need the housing knowledge to shift sector. Do have the development experience though.

    I am around but feel totally washed out and have my quarterly cold:mad:

    I eat healthily yet every 3 months this last couple of years I get a raging cold/flu......

    Thankfully I dont go back to work until Monday so the worst of it should be passed by then.

    Back to my book I think.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    D - Music Tech (dropping this subject so lost interest at Easter)
    C - Maths (going to re-sit one exam as he got CCB so if he can resit one of them and get a b this will drive his grade up to a B)
    B - Physics (surprised himself with that one)
    A - Computer science:j
