I have applied three times now, twice online, which I have email reciepts for and second time via post and they have lost all of the forms and have no record of me applying.........yeah right, what a coincidence.

They said go up and enrol anyway, but I know full well that they won't let you enrol unless you have had an interview.

Hi-

Im so excited!

basically went cap in hand and grovelled. explained how previously 'I' had an unsupportive partner and a young child, frustrated at myself for giving up on something that I know I can do- just needed support. Now I have got rid of ex and my child is in FT education- im finally able to concentrate on myself and can set aside time during the day to do the work without distractions- I did call myself 'the boy who cried wolf' and just begged for another chance. She was very nice actually and just said nect time to ask for help before even considering leaving ( this is the last chance saloon though!)

  • I know its a bit dishonest pretending to be someone else- but I knew exactly what nutty wanted to say.

If she doesnt go tomorrow im sending the heavies around!

You brought it from me emma, it's yours.

God it feels weird, to go from no hope to loads of hope.

tiredemma · 04/09/2007 16:25

Dont need it now- you will have it back.

You really must stick at it - and ask for help when you need it though.

You will have tons of time to do your work while the kids are at school.- no excuses!

No excuses, if I can't do it with the house to myself 4 days a week then I never will, so thats it.

SoupDragon · 04/09/2007 18:06

You're doing it this time? Actually doing it...?

Thank f&&& for that!!

tiredemma · 04/09/2007 18:12

she will have me to answer to soupy if she drops out this time, especially after the grovelling I did today!

Im sure she will- she just needs to believe in herself and see that people want to help.

Im sure nutty will be ok this time.

SoupDragon · 04/09/2007 18:14

Well, we all believe in her anyway.

Morning all

Having a shite day today but don't worry, I am still going

OP posts:
zippitippitoes · 05/09/2007 08:26

well done...my reckoning is that you have to the things you can't bear to do when you are feeling shite because when the shite is through you can then really be pleased and benefit from what you did when you didn't feel like it at all...

example: dp assumed I was going to commit suicide becaus e he dumped me...exh thought i would too I think (because dp left me)

but know I carried on forcing myself to jkeep to the get fit and lose weight thing I had been doing before my world got pulled apart and dragged myself off to walk and swim and stuff, kept my website going even though I was crying all day and even managed the builders although i actually cried on them ...and now i am glad because i lost another stone and i am going on this holiday...if I let myself think about dp then it ll goes to pot but i am now thinking it will get better

so nutty hope you can get through the shit...

LIZS · 05/09/2007 09:24

Perhaps all the more reason to go. Good luck Nutty.

Your right, and I know I have to go because if I don't I am letting him control my life and the reason me and xp split was because I didn't want him controling my life, so I have to do it.

I do want to do it anyway, I want something for me, something for me to aim for and something that shows my kids that I am capable of making our lives better.

I am scared, very scared, mostly of not knowing whats in store for me, it's out of my comfort zone of babies and toddler and nappies and everything else that my life has been since I was 19 years old.

Xp is right about one thing, what he does with his life now is nothing to do with me, and however hard it is for me to get through this and get over how hurt I feel, I need to get past this and learnt to not care, and get on with my own life.

Sorry that was a bit of uncollege related rant.
