    Sounds weird, I went to animal care college to do BTEC level three and that was after I had done Msc in economics.

    Yep, it does sound weird. It's possible they might have introduced a rule if they have a limited number of places and a lot of demand. I would try to speak to the course leader if you can - even if you can't get on the course right now, they might have other ideas for experience/ courses you could take.

    Pah!!!! Back at the Osteopath today - she is a vicious vicious cow (just kidding!!!!) Mind you I am walking a lot straighter now so that is fabby.

    DS2 is still out with his Gran at the "Cow cafe" - the local indoor play centre and DS1 is upstairs creating another Youtube / Pokemon masterpiece.

    Had a chat with one of the Mentors (Yes!!!!!!! the gorgeous French one :T) - about the labels we wear. We know we shouldn't but we do - don't we?

    He was laughing at me saying I feel strange admitting I am a writer and stranger thinking of being a scriptwriter - I mean really hooting!!! He rightly pointed out that as I am actually writing a script I am de facto a scriptwriter!!! Hate it when they are right :D

    He suggests that tomorrow we have a one-day personal challenge - that instead of having our usual labels we choose one for ourselves, preferably something totally cool and outrageous so we can have a day of "lets pretend"

    Can't make up my mind who I want to be tomorrow - spaceman? ballet dancer? Burlesque Queen? Elephant??????????????

    Mind you I don't think I'm brave enough to do the whole "dressing up" thing just yet :rotfl:

    Morning all, Willow see you are already catching the postive vibe. Amazing what this group of woman can do to motivate a soul.

    That said I am having a :( day. I should be happier than Larry (whoever he is) and I am most of the time but why, oh why do I keep walking head long into an argument as if I am blindfolded when I set off with the greatest intentions to not say the wrong thing and thus create one?

    All my life I have been told that I am a glass half full person, full of positivity, reasonable, fair, understanding. Seems lately that (to one person at least) I am the antithesis of all this and I am beginning to believe that perhaps I am...............

    Still I am not going to let this get me down. I am not, not, not going to spend the day crying again!!!!

    So, ask yourself this - what would have made you change? You see, I don't believe it's likely that you have changed - so perhaps the other person involved has changed to suddenly start seeing you differently?

    Interesting read... and my dad is "all of the above". Which is more than a little :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    What shall I be tomorrow? I am not sure. I don't think I really want to be super efficient accountant tomorrow. Maybe warm and cuddly homemaker. Or maybe crafty creative bohemian type. I shall think about it on the drive home tonight. :D

    Ooh oh can I be Elmer :D I'd just LOVE to be that colourful :rotfl: Failing that I am most definately going to be the ballerina. Although the thought of going "en pointe" again makes my toes curl up in horror :eek:

    Cheri - Hugs lovey EH makes a good point about the other person changing rather than you xxx

    Marru - Breathe. Is there anywhere private you can have a mini explosion?? xxx

    Went to a memorial service for a fellow tap dancer who sadly lost her fight with cancer. it was a lovely service and her children both gave wonderful readings they'd written about their mum. Terribly sad and yet wonderful to sit in a church and listen to Led Zepplin. Have made me mindful of my own situation and how thankful I am to have the loved ones I do around me.

    Now doing a Media course at college has its perks...I've just realised I can ask someone in my old class to design a logo for the adverts for me :)
