Hi Mars..........Shabby has alot of talent you know, def a way with words, I think an OU would be brilliant for her!

Morning you organising nutters ladies. Thought my ears were burning. I still dont know what I want to do when I leave school so any help you lot can give would be good.

Trips - morning blossom. Our lovley Em is bursting forth with babyness - cause she is naturally only about a size 8 she looks like she has swollowed a large beach ball. They have their ante natal classes starting this week and Dan will have to be pulled down from Cloud Nine to face the gory details!!!

Mars - love the thought of a cheeky sod course - where do I enrol - cheeky sod

I love History and English literature - rubbish at maths and behaving myself!! Even though I went to an ordinary secondary modern school I was allowed to do my CSE's and 'O' levels - something that was unheard of in the early 70's - unless you went to Grammar School.

I could be a nutty History teacher - no sack that - no teaching until they bring back corporal punishment

I want to work in the Alabahma bar in Faliraki - behind the bar, on the karaoke, perving appreciating the male species!

Momma - been trying to teach myself Greek for years - am slowly, but surely, getting there. It is a difficult language to learn but when we are there I can usually get the gist of what they are saying AND reply

I know a holiday rep!! Would love that. Picking up the weirdo's 18-30 lot from the airport and being more badly behaved than they could ever think they are.

that should have read I know - a holiday rep

Hi Shabs, am on the phone atm trying to get this appt for DH, collegue on other line, can you hold? Will hold all day, I am going to get that appt today! They have just said they need to check his blood results, can I hold on...............still waiting......

God.....she has just said that they have no slots for two weeks! I have said thats unacceptable and asked her to phone all the other hospitals, she said if she cannot get an appt elsewhere they are hoping on Mon to set up an emergency fund to get the backlog of scans done in an evening, but that could still take two weeks! So frustrating.

oh trips - they are so useless - feel I want to help you - but have no idea how!! Good idea - tell them you can go to Bolton General Hospital and get in the car. Sure we can find beds for you lot. What can I do to help?

(Excuse me!)

Trips,how frustrating. When the NHS works it it can't be faulted,but on the other hand it can feel like banging your head against a brick wall. My friend (yes,I have one!) has been waiting several weeks for a referral to another hospital.

I qiute fancy doing an OU course but can't decide what to do....

Morning all.

Trips keep on at them, that is bloody ridiculous. Lots of love to you.

Shabs an OU sounds like a great idea!

I miss work It does make you feel like a person again and not just a mommy. I have been at home for 10 years now!! I have done a few little courses here and there but nothing really exciting.

trips. Fingers crossed for the other hospitals.

I would recomend this course It covers a bit of everything, literature, culture, history, and is a really good starter course. It is a cert on it's own, or if you wanted to take it further (OU is rather addictive!) since you get a taster of a variety of subjects, it can help you choose where you want to take it.

My course is going good thanks mars, got 75% for my first tma.

If I had my time over again I would have loved to have been a holiday rep. My first experience of reps was when I was 23 and took myself off on a Cosmos coach tour of Europe, 17 nights, full board £137!! I went with a friend I was working with, she was old enough to be my Mum, had just left her husband, we used to just laugh together,we had never been out socially together. The minute we arrived at Dover station we laughed, it was just the best holiday. The things we got up to, every night we took it in turns to write in a diary, we called it,
Confessions of two sales assistants travelling abroad"!

what sort of things interest you, snorris?

I did the previous incarnation of the humanities course below and really enjyed it.

I'm interested in science and anything to do with animals. I can write essays but I lack the motivation to do anything too involved . That's why I was glad to just miss GCSE's-I'd much rather do an exam than loads of coursework. (Showing my age now ).

Well done Chops! And good choice of first course for Shabby.

Triplets on your behalf. Call your local MP!

Snorris.... what interests you?

We can see you tripandtwins!

I quite like maths too .

Maths courses for Snorris

I need a course on the history of the Teletubbies - my brains are already frying and Im only reading through the thread.

I have a great theory on my cheeky sod attitude.

For years I have tried to be kind and understanding etc etc. So many disappointments along the way that I think my brain must have thought 'go back to the time when you were happy.' So off I trip in my time traveller to 1973 when I was very bright, very curvy, very popular and the class clown. Have just read that back and it sounds very big headed

Now I do the best I can to not worry, to laugh, to joke, to enjoy life whilst hiding the horrible bits in my heart! Probably not the correct way but....it works for me!!

OMG think I will do psychology - I could study myself
