    I have just spent a nice hour with one of the many free courses on the open uni Apparently there are over 1000 to chose from. I have chosen level one forensic psychology. Omg I was so bad with the tests
    Very interesting though

    Thought it may be of interest to others

    I've just started their free course:
    Introduction to cyber security: stay safe online

    We do so much online these days, we do need to protect ourselves.

    Hope it will help me tighten up my own security :)

    Just had a video call from baby GSs..they looked so cute with their pjs on ready for bed- except their bed tonight is an airplane seat, they have just taken off destination Singapore 30 C, FOR 4 nights then off to the Philippines and not back to UK til beginning of March ...

    DS is just back from the Philippines with a selection of foodie presents for me:)

    Pickled mangoes, dried bananas, arrowroot biscuits and all manner of stuff. There’s a banner across some of them which says”Export Quality”.

    Does that mean it’s an inferior quality for home consumption?:o

    Hope they all have a great time:)

    DIL is Philippine, and although they travel lots it will be the first time her family will have met baby gs, he is now nearly 16 months, but she does have her mum, sister and one brother who live about an hour away from her in the uk.

    we usually have dried mango brought back for us:)

    For anyone that got the £5 off fruit with weetabix coupons, remember to check the date. Each one is only valid for a few days. Managed to get bananas today.
