elantan

thanks for your kind wishes!

she's fine, had Christmas in special care but came home 3 weeks ago and is doing great. Just wish I had more time, with looking after her and a 2 year old ball of energy!

Keep at it though, it's worth persevering to pick up a relatively easy 30 points!

It makes it more of a challenge when you are studying with other commitments. I say that as a self-employed mother of two, with another baby on the way, and I've already signed up for another course to start when this one ends. Am I mad?

I do agree that the questions were perhaps easier or appeared so than I expected but then I reminded myself that it is level 1 no previous experience required. I'm sure the ECA will be more of a challenge, and I'm ceryainly enjoying the text book.

I think it helps that I actually work in Citizenship Education as a resource writer/project manager, and we are just about to expand our work into the field of economic citizenship - the basics in this course have helped me get to grips with the sort of things we should be ocvering for the 14-19 market! that said I plan to do the two other economics courses............OH MY DAYS!!!

Well after doing the first part of the assignment last weekend i eventually got around to finishing the rest last night and again submitted it electronically at 11:49pm:eek:

Think this forum is getting to me though - when I did the loan,storecard,overdraft calculations and had to compare, I really felt like adding on the end that the cheapest way would be to finance it on a 0% credit card and pay off asap, then transfer any remaining balance onto another one.:D but I didn't:D .

Looks like TMA03 is along the same lines:rolleyes:

Elantan - I know what you mean by feeling hacked off with the studying at present, I feel like that sometimes but If I gave up now I would have wasted so much time that I had already put into other courses.
Have a word with your tutor, they may be able to help motivate you again.

Good Luck everyone

yes she was 6 and a half weeks early, called Rose and is our little miracle as we were given a 5% chance of her living. She has already main local newspaper's front page and tv news, bless her.

Sorry to take the thread off track!

I don't, hence the 1 week extension!

For anyone who's thinking of doing DB123, they've brought the next presentation forward from November to May (due to 'popular demand'!).

I'm doing this in May, I'm using it to bridge the gap between DD100 and D218. I'm also doing A172 alongside it.
