    I'm getting conflicting info on whether or not I need honours but think I would be ok as all subjects I'm doing would count for credits. One year then doesn't seem so bad. You definitely going then El?

    Oh goodness, I just managed to say no to someone:D it was extra volunteer work but I explained that life is just throwing too much at me at the minute, it wasn't that difficult and she was really understanding so must do it more - can manage ok with friends and family it's just work and charity stuff I let pile up:o

    To be honest I think there's always something even if you had all the money in the world there would still be house a with huge lounge v house b in nicer area decisions...
