    My nerves do seem to have gone and although there is tonnes to learn about it all (sooo many procedures and processes for all the differen 'arms' of Ad. Ed!) I do feel I'm settling in well and so far haven't had any thoughts of being overhwlemed by anything - although I did have a bizarre mix of dreams last night about being in a new job (not the one I'm in) and then a dream about 'that' woman so I guess my brain is sorting it all out!

    I'm going to an information session on 1 April for the C+G teaching course that starts on 15 April. Nice coincidence that I'm now sharing an office with the manager of the teaching courses- I told her I'd like to teach cooking and 5 minutes later someone came in to make sure I was on the list for the session!! I've already got my application form in, so fingers crossed I should be starting the course next month.

    Glad you have settled in well-they sound a really nice bunch-many thanks for advice before as well-which goes for everyone else. X
    This looks very interesting- i wonder if you have been bribing them with Jaffa cakes? It will definately get you on the course as they look so scrummy:rotfl:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.

    ooooh, send me a bowl of that please bunny!! (chicken soup, not the vomit!)

    I can't stop picking today, I've had 2 hot cross buns with chocolate spread, 2 pieces of cheese on toast,4 little chocolate squares and I've now got a mug of mega thick hot chocolate. Actually, looking at it, that doesn't seem tonnes, but I seem to have been shoving stuff in my gob non-stop today!

    bit of a chocolate theme going on though! :rotfl:

    Afternoon everyone.

    Sorry to hear your littl'uns arent well Bunny. If I pretend to be poorly, can I have some soup too :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    mmm, I'd like some soup too Bunny.

    Thanks to Keren (or is it just my complete lack of willpower) I'm now scoffing a hotcross bun but with butter not chocolate spread.
