What a week, you have passed a module too, B2 clearly likes you and you are looking at other jobs. Plus you have rain as it is like a desert here so i reckon you have had a productive week. I hope you are enjoying the weekend.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

Thank you Skinty, SH, SW, DIA and Atrixa
I've spent all day doing T3, cross referencing everything and have spotted minor errors in T1 and T2.
Tomorrow I'll read through T3, make any tweaks and send it to my tutor, letting them know I'm correcting the errors on T1 and T2 and will send those over a few hours later.
I used to do upto 10 of these types of thing a day in my career, only the way it's done in this module is so long-winded and I think my arms are about to drop off with all the typing 😬
You know, I never wanted to hang up my certificates before, now the urge to have them sitting proud on my shelf is getting stronger with each passing day.
I've been baking by the window working away as TomBo popped in / out interrupting me.
There's no rain and some of the reservoirs are drying up. Perhaps this is the year everyone gets to see Nessie!

Thanks Skinty, it's finding the right frames as I'll definitely need two (L3 and L6) and potentially a third in case I do the other qualification. I want someone very special.
I've submitted T3, tweaked and submitted my T2 changes. The course finishes a week tomorrow.
Hopefully I'll get a tutor 'pass' this week which would be nicely timed with payday; I'll be paying for this to be submitted and marked by the exam board.
Once I pass this module, I've the mammoth task of printing the material for the next module; another reason for staying in this role 😉🤫🤭, making a start on writing revision notes and learning it all, plus buying my as yet to be released books.
- I'll check with my tutor to see what happens about registering for the next course.
September payday I'll be registering for my new module's exam fee.
- I also need to get a letter from the Dr to support my reasonable adjustments application as the exam is 3 hours and I can't sit for that long!
Just playing a bit of music and then I'll decant back into my armchair.

All sounding positive.
