    That's maturity, not age. I'm sure I make some 5 year olds feel ancient...

    I think I am a bit late on the daily thread but adding my day anyway. I love this thread - I can catch up on all the goss in one fell swoop....

    Keren, You are right - you should be England manager. You had it in a nutshell there girl....

    Tigtag!! We are the same person. My car *died* tonight. Although really it just ran out of petrol. Luckily pay day today so can go and put petrol in, then I need to put it in for new brakes (and discs by now I think). The car isn't worth a lot but has been a trusty rust bucket up to now so fingers crossed that it doesn't cost too much. AND given that I am in full time employment and MB MK II isn't - he will have to sort it out.... He keeps giving off big sighs when I give him things to do, he doesn't seem to realise that I used to do all these things by myself, very quietly!

    Mupetteer - is there not some kind of grant you can get... Keren, my friend became a cookery teacher late on in life (she was nearly 50) and the government gave her money to become one as there is a shortage!!! Thats if the England manager job doesn't get offered to you.

    I have done nothing for christmas, and despite my best intentions have not started revising. On a positive note I have loads of work to do at work and I am loving it.

    PAP - how are you doing with the accountancy plans. There is an absolute shortage out there.
