    Morning everyone...

    I thought forum etiquette ran to being nice to all moneysavers and that there's no such thing as a stupid question (though I'm sure I've asked millions of really really stupid questions), and if you disagree courtesy helps when replying! Anything else and I'm stuffed!!!

    Sarah - glad your outlook is a bit better today; hope the party goes well and that you enjoy CAB!

    I'm going to do a course (or two) next academic year and I've already talked with DH about our expectations - out at college 1 or 2 nights, studying another night, fat class etc, so he'll need to prep and cook dinner on those occasions AND keep my mam out of my hair whilst I'm studying (I do love her to bits but she knows how to set me off in 2 seconds:mad:) He said he wants to do something together on Sat or Sunday each week and that there'll be no studying on those days at all! that's the plan but I'm sure reality will be different:rolleyes: :D

    We had a similar agreement - we've both just finished professional exams and while he decided enough's enough, I've decided to go on and do one more specialist qualification. The deal was, as we both work full time, I study Mon Wed & Fri and he does house work those days. Then I study mornings at the weekend while he watches sport and we do stuff together Tues & Thurs and weekend afternoons.

    So far he's had so much overtime that I cook clean and study Mon-Fri, then he's so knacked at the weekend that we end up doing nothing!!!

    Sorry - I just had an image of a family in stripy pjs and dressing gowns (suspiciously like those in the aquafresh advert...) sitting to breakfast with big harnesses on...

    I think Jet's Muppet Madness might be contagious!
