You should turn this thread into an OU course diary. I wanted to do it this year but my plate's pretty much full. If it's good I'll clear some space for next year.

elantan

thanks minnie might do that...

MinnieSpender

Good luck with it anyway! Sounds like fun.

Not a regular poster on DFW, but I do lurk!

I too am doing this course and it's the first OU course I've ever been excited about (and I've done quite a few). Cant wait to get started!

Good luck with yours!

elantan

did you get your pack through yet?..i'm looking forward to doing this...

MinnieSpender

Scrub the idea of an OU diary just for elantan! (Sorry elantan!) I think this thread should be a discussion of the course, what you do on it and how you're finding it.

I'd love to read it in preparation for next year and you might be able to support each other while doing it.

Good luck to all!

elantan

i'm fine with that ..the more the merrier as far as i'm concerned how about you wheeze?

oh yes def count me in. My pack came last week so have started a bit early, but trying to get in front for TMA 3 as I have a baby due to arrive that week!!!

I wont be going to any tutorials due to distance from home and late pregnancy so any support on here would be great !

elantan
