Pap - no I don't own a Radley. My dad bought a Radley for my mum for Xmas though. I was up at CC yesterday, and I noticed that there is a Radley shop there. I did think of you as I walked past it.
Claire - sorry to hear about your DH, hope he's not in too much pain. Does this mean that you'll have him at home with you for a while, or will he be able to go to work still?

I'm looking at Bromley Schools Collegiate atm, which means I'd probably be doing SCITT (School Centred Initial Teacher Training) instead of a PGCE but I like the idea of a more hands-on approach as opposed to lots of theory with a few placements thrown in. Also, I don't know whether I'd get the class of degree needed for anywhere else in London, they all seem to want 1sts or 2:1s and I'll probably get a 2:2 at best. It looks like a good place to study though.

Hello all,sorry to hear about your DH injuries Claire!
Hiya to Beanie, LMC and everyone...Debt-free...and staying that way...0 -
Thanks LMC and Hi to Kayleigh and Butti
The insurance have written my car off. I haggled their offer up twice but have still ended up spending another £400 of our money on the new car. :eek: Car does not arrive for a week as I am buying from a garage and having some work done on it first.
Will be a hectic week as I have a first stage interview tomorrow, an interview with an agency Tues, a funeral weds (hundreds of miles away) and then busy work thurs and fri!
