Yep it was one of those kinda calls Skinty:o darn I'm caught lol

Have to admit having a day suiting myself was exactly what I needed, I feel more able to deal with things again, and my garden is looking better as well

Have sat on the verandah reading the millionaire next door, its a good book but I really do wish there were more UK based books

I do know however I'm going to have a weekend of it at work as I know what I'm walking into, although in saying that I'm also glad it's me that's walking into it as I know things will improve ... That sounds very big headed ... But if you knew what we had working at our unit you would understand lol

Oh here so you mean writing a book about UK based finances ?

You could always write about your journey and the various obstacles on your way.

Surely between the lot of us we could cobble something together . Tilly - project time in 3 years if still a gap in the market :rotfl:. In between the hedge trimming and wine drinking :beer:.

It makes perfect sense El, but if he did do a Masters he'd get another chance to improve on it.

Now I had a brain wave, well a wave more than a brain one my brains barely intact. And please just ignore my rambles, whilst I mean well, I do get carried away for which I'm sorry, and I know it's really none of my beeswax.

I'm sure you know this but every uni library has a copy of an annual published trusts, grants and all sorts of ways to get help/support for courses. When I did my msc, I looked in it and applied to all the trusts which were relevant to me, it's a bit ecclectic (eg, I applied for ones for horticultural scholarships, some because I was a girl, some because of my birth town rtc etc etc) I got half of my course fees paid (£2700) by a trust I was successful with a wee grant for books (£100) from another.

I'll dig outthe name of the tome.

Might not be any use but it's worth a look! and thus endeth my silly rambles, honest. I'd never have applied for anything except someone else was lucky and they directed me to the book as they also had no option but to self fund.

I know masters aren't everything or the only option but I'll stop waffling now.
