    Thanks everyone. My younger sister also got her results and passed with a 2:1, so thats great :)

    Celebrated by making an appt at the jobcentre :( which is NOT such good news! Made me feel so awful! BUT i am going full steam ahead into my plans of SE, since there is no childcare available in my town STILL!
    I have made a few plans, and also have an appt with a careers adviser next week to talk over my plans, and have already done research into the sevices already established in my local area.

    I wondered where you were.
    I hadn't realised you had this thread until someone mentioned it in the GC.
    Take care, pet, and come back soon. Love and hugs. :)
