    Point to the newt!

    Good luck with that - does take an age to get qualified.

    I saw the photo of the bairn having a plodge it looked like he was having loads of fun :D

    If your sleeping in a bed that you don't normally, then your on holiday. :rotfl:

    I don't normally sleep as Jake doesn't settle in other places, he doesn't settle at home either, so not a holiday lol

    Tough if he isn't settling: having had a non settler I sympathize

    We did The Sun holidays £40 for a week for me and the hubby in a big static caravan (although the greedy gits did charge us an extra £80 for the dogs :( )

    The caravan site we just stayed on was £15 per night per unit and was immaculate. (and only 20 minutes from home)

    I love the Sun holidays! We've been doing them for years, since my eldest was tiny, they are so cheap compared to booking direct. I always pay the extra £30 to upgrade to a 12ft caravan but its totally worth it for the extra space :)

    Yep, all 7 years of uni were required for the job I wanted, plus I then worked for free to get the relevant work experience 12 month placement required for the next part of the qualification. Still got one part left to be fully qualified, but at least I get paid for that, so I do have a "proper job"! :)

    All that studyings hard work isn't it. Still, your doing better than me! 7 years of uni for me too ( 2year HND, 2 year to top up to Bsc, then 3 years part time doing professional exams while working full time in a lowly paid job for "supervised experience") followed by another 5 years of CPD to get Fellow status, and I've ended up a SAHM :mad: Good luck with the final stage, bet you'll be glad when its over :)

    I'm trying to get ahead with my month end comps atm, as we are off to West Wales on the 28th for a week, and apparently there's no internet on site :eek: I'll be getting withdrawl symptoms by the time we get home :rotfl:

    I've been thinking of not updating my Rafflecopter thread for a couple of weeks to give myself chance to catch up on the board before I go away, but its difficult because I have no idea how many people use the thread, or if they'd even notice if I stopped doing it :(

    I have no idea how people manage to post so many comps themselves and still keep up with the boards, I'm dreading advents!

    Just got home and found a surprise delivery of a book called 'You, Me and Second Brain Psychology'. I am crossing off 'Y' and since I don't know the value, I have guessed £20 to add to my total.

    That makes £70/£500 for August. Need a biggie if I am to succeed.

    either download an app on your phone like regrann or take a screenshot on your phone and upload it. Tbh I don't do comps that ask you to regram, I don't like looking spammy lol. I just do ones that require a comment or tagging someone or if they want you to hashtag one of your own photo's thats ok and I've had 12 wins on instagram so far this month x
