Well, it's been a good Xmas overall for me! Got a lot of stuff I wanted and almost nothing bad!
Plus I got to see my girlfriend every day which was amazing.
When we were talking about my job and where I could go with it (I work Security at BAA), we thought about possibly taking permanent night shifts (I love nights) and going to university during the day to get a better qualification, possibly a teaching one.
Does anyone have experience of this?Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.0 -
and when would you be sleeping HBFS? Don't want to put a spanner in the works but I think it would be ok to work nights over the weekends but don't see how you could do them mon-fri and still study. I've done courses at nightschool and day release while working 9-5 and that was bad enough! If you want to do it you'll find a way though.
Glad you enjoyed christmas with the "girlyfriend".Mortgage OP 2025 £7500/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I regularly only sleep 2-3 hours on nights! Plus I may move closer to the uni/work for whatever reason may help! It's a thought at the minute. Thanks for your advice! And thank you, I hope your christmas was just as good!

Open University - can't recommend it highly enough, and would fit perfectly with your lifestyle. Have a look at their website http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?A02&kwcampaign=GC_BRA&keywordid=UKGGL_open_university
There are courses starting in Feb.
Good luck!A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Well, today was some spending. £20 credit on my phone to last through all of those New Year calls to random people and a book for £12.99.
I also bought £10.19 worth of shopping (mainly bread, butter, spreads etc etc).
Is it worth buying a joint of beef and cutting it up, I wonder? Work was dull and very annoying, people just didn't seem to understand the rules today! Sheesh!Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.0 -

The above is for the people who have followed my odd attempts at a relationship. That was Boxing Day!
Can I ask for it not to be quoted as I will delete the link in a few days due to the possibility of 'her' getting hold of it!Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.0 -
Morning all. Up earlier than I wanted, but at least that gives me a chance to do some tidying up and get stuck into my new book! I've got work today so I'm pretty sure that I won't be spending anything! Let's hope I can avoid the canteen!
