    I actually went to Anglia, but if I tell people I went to Uni in Cambridge (which is true) they always get impressed and think I am much more intelligent than I am :rotfl:

    jakes-mum your special challenge is to spend 5 minutes each day doing something for you instead of other people :) seeing how you never spend money on yourself, you get pamper time instead hehe

    :rotfl:This is exactly what my eldest sister does, she went to Anglia Polytechnic but when the headmaster of my nephews school starts or shes complaining the old line comes out 'I studied at Cambridge you know, im perfectly capable of grasping your point without an oral presentation' :rotfl:

    No more debt-busting today, I bought a kitten instead. :o And I didn't ask DH, just presented it to him as a done deal. ;):D She's very cute, black with a little white patch on her tummy. She's making friends with the dog right now.
