You gave it a try. It didn't work. Never mind, move on, there will be other, better, jobs out there."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Scotland?
Wee bit colder, scorching here today though - just been down the beach and it was lovely, sea dead calm with only the odd paddling dog causing a wave. Obviously the heat might have been coming off my face as I ran but even so... sun is shining and washing is out! we are off to see some geysers and volcanos not til the new year though but need something to look forward too (apart from independence:p)):DYou gave it a try.

Next semesters classes couldn't be scheduled worse to be honest and as there is around 3 to 4 hours spent travelling on top I just felt I couldn't cope with without a rest at the weekend. Hoping to pick up something next april/may after exams.Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

If you find something at (or near) uni which is very part time, that may also suit."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Well, taking a leaf out of your book, and, after having yet another doc prod me, I decided I would not drive back through the centre of Newcastle at 3:30pm, but would indeed go to the seaside.
This is the beach absolutely packed to the gunwales after the first sniff of sunshine...
Can you guess where I was?
