    What are you good at pigpen? Have you looked at the OU?

    I am good at being bossy.. sitting on my behind and drinking tea...

    I can't do OU.. I am unselfmotivated and need kicking frequently.. tried that and failed miserably.. I can't get to tutorials so don't do very well.

    It is useless trying to help I am a hopeless case.

    But I'm lazy!!!!!!!!!! lol I don't like doing work because I am a bone idle towrag!

    I do this every year.. just ignore me.. I'll never do anything

    Not just you pigpen ;), I've been doing it for the last 7 years, picked up the prospectus when it came out, read it over and over but this year it came to me at last!
    I have now enrolled to college and start in Sept, it was a long time coming but I really didnt know what I wanted to do until now and I'm 37!!:eek:
    Plenty of time to grow up after that still :rolleyes:.

    You'll know when you're ready, no point forcing things. I usually find that if you force things they only become hard work, listen to your gut (not always when it says "feed me" though!);)

    :beer: Time for wine I thinks....

    Only thing is to work for our council you have to be mentally impaired or have the most hideous accent and fink foats and toke on the phurn... it isn't pleasant!

    I am too rude to be an MP lol

    Pigpen - you sound like me. I really fancy doing something but I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up:o (I'm only 36). I fell into admin work and have a fair few certificates for various comp applications but I would love to learn something. I guess doing my driving has kind of proven to me that I am not to old to learn.

    Had a good day, this afternoon I:-

    Tidied kiddies room
    Finished bathroom (even washed shower curtain)
    Changed our bed
    Prepped tea

    Plan now is glass of wine and logging my shopping receipts so I can work out how much of the food budget I have spent:o .

    Bonsi - your sounding more upbeat about it, dont think for one minute you will be going quietly (you go for it;) )

    Kaz - We are about 20/30 mins from Ely depending how many tractors you get stuck behind:p . I love Ely, its got such a nice feel to it.
