    Thanks :)

    Really pleased you've had a fab response to the website - shame it's affected your time on here/more importantly the college course (of course!!) :) Good luck with the assignment - you could post what you want to get done each night on here, then log out and see if you can get it done?

    Hi PaP - I'm really sorry that I wasn't around yesterday (work :eek: ) and that I missed what happened.
    PaP - you have done really well - you've thrown yourself wholeheartedly into your 'business venture' at a very busy time for you - even worse when you've not been feeling very well.
    I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I'm sure that it will be your best asset in the long term. However there is absolutely no point in making yourself even more sick over it - you need, and already have started, to prioritise things.
    Your college is, undoubtedly, the most important thing, apart from your health, on your current agenda - and I wish you well with your coursework - education is the one thing that nobody can get too much of.
    It's going to be very difficult for you to spend the time you want to on your cards, with your house in turmoil during the re-wiring, so sit back a bit and take stock of the overall situation - the cards are a long term project, and will probably grow into your main occupation - even your primary source of income (who knows) but you don't need to 'run before you can walk'.
    Let the 'card' side grow gradually and don't let it control your life - as time goes by, you can devote more time to the cards as your college work and driving lessons diminish.
    I know that your signature calls you 'SUPER PAP' but don't, please make yourself ill by trying to live up to that name.
    For the time being - make your health your Number One priority, the rest can wait.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

  • rog and isom ~ thanks, i am letting my college come first and no matter what happens i will finish that before anything else.

    sarah, i was on holiday last week from tuesday till the tuesday just gone. Maybe you thought i had longer? Work was ok if not busy, left quite a bit tonight though but never mind i am sure they can cope.

    sea & sarah, the coursework is getting there. I would say i am 3/4 through one piece which i am happy about however the next piece is graphs :o ekk. Lets just say i will cross that bridge when i come to it :rotfl:. Had to buy the paper for it today. My first piece will be typed on the pc but this one i thinks a bit of a cheat of you get excel to do it all for you. So i am writing the second piece. Hoping to finish the computer piece over this coming week so next weekend i can spend all weekend on the written pieces. Well thats the plan.

    What kind of graphs?...... I used to love doing graphs..... I really am a sad puppy sometimes:eek:

    For some reason, time flies away really fast in my world, so I probably did think u had longer for ur hols - I really do have no clue what is going on:o.... what a nutmeg!:o

    hi sarah bye1.gif

    Well i think its bars, line, pie, scatter, stem & leaf, histograms, fequency pologons & cumulatuive frequency. And i have to include mean/mode/median etc with it too. Some of them i like and can work out but some are just woo. So that will be the hard part. I need to include at least 30 graphs so i am a bit worried but never mind hey.

    Ohhh it travels fast in my world too, i think thats the nature of the winters. I wish i had more of a holiday though. Btw i am hoping to try and book some of the days off before and after our meet just to give me a tad bit of a rest :D.

    Take care hun, i am trying to read your diary again (since i seem to had lost if first time around) so i may see you over there soon. :j

    I wouldn't call it a diary so much as a bunch of random posts! I'd almost forgotten about it, then Sea brought it back to the surface again a couple of weeks ago..... I really must update it a bit more often..... It's not very exciting tho:o
    I vaguely remeber the graphs (except histograms)... but I'm one of those people that remembers things by sight.... if I saw them I'd be like 'oh yeah, *now* I remember! I must admit, Stats was probably the worst module for me, I was never very good...... I remember standing in a Post Office once, counting all the people that went to each hatch to be served (it was for GCSE I think!?!) to make some sort of conclusion about something *ferocious wracks memory, but alas it was many moons ago* :o I loved Algebra tho, and I was the only one in my class that could remember the quadratic equation (I can still remember it now, just can't remember what u use it for!) I really wish I'd tried harder in the second year of sixth form and actually done something with my A Level...... hindsight is a wonderful thing!
