    are you home just now or at work ? i need to get me one of these dongle thingys

    I am at work right now......my dongle is with 3.....just top up and pay as you go....each £10 credit gives you 30 days usage which is fine, but if you don't use the whole £10 it doesn't get carried over which could be a bit of a waste.....

    I think all the networks do them now, though.....when I was at lunch I saw that t-mobile is £10 a month...but don't know what the terms are or any up front costs.

    Anyway, why are you still on MSE - you should be fast asleep in bed.....:confused:

    shop around for dongles to make sure you get the best deal....just like mobile phones....and check quidco too - you never know, you may get a bit of cashback too!

    Hope you are feeling a wee bit better - I am heading to bed myself now - am sooooo tired. I would have gone earlier, but I was waiting for the children to go to bed first, so I didn't feel too silly! how daft is that, if I need to sleep, I should allow myself to go to bed, not wait up just because......well just because nothing really!

    Catch up with you soon xx

    am thinking of you hope it goes well im sure it will you have a strong case...

    well today is the day i am removing my head from the sand with my visitors being here i spent more than i could afford (had to get outa the house) and have been using the visa for petrol etc ...dont get me wrong i havnt been using it for clothes or electronic gadgets or anything but have been using it for diesel asda (for food) cinema(had to get out while visitors were here) resturants(same as ...only meals were on special using 5pm.com) and a saw thing ...someone had given us a load of wood for camping and then gave hubby their saw to cut wood up with hubby managed to cut one piece and the thing died so we had to replace that and that's about it for the visa ..did also lift money for other spends while they were here but other than that(as if that wasnt enough) i havnt spent money that i didnt have ...

    so i'm gonna lift my head outa the sand and have a look see where i am and get a plan on where i am going ..i'm also contacting the uni to find out exactly what the situation is ...i dont want to start any other courses that i cant finish (for whatever reason) so i need to make sure it's the right one for me this time...

    other than that it is housework day today and i will have a look at breaking out of a bookies and get my passport sorted for another one which will bring in £84 of much needed money ..

    good luck today rich let us know how it goes

    Rich, I hope things are going/have gone ok for you today. fingers crossed for you x

    El, I hope you are feeling better today.

    I think you are right to investigate uni courses thoroughly - as you say, you don't want to start something you can't or don't want to finish - that will do you no good either professionally or personally.

    Also, make sure that what you do choose to do is something that you will enjoy - no point in it just being "necessary for the job" because otherwise you will make it much harder for yourself in the day to day study of the course, and that will then have a knock on effect to your other stress-areas in your life.

    Have confidence to follow your dreams though - use this as an opportunity FOR YOU xxxxx
