oh good luck with both then gem.. I'd though of doing an OU course of some sort now I'm retired. I thought I might be bored having worked all my life, but as it happens i seem to find plenty to fill my days.
I've done some OU courses, and really enjoyed them. I did maths and science courses during my gap years. I'm one of those studying types who always has to be studying!
Very pleased this morning as I have just stepped on the scales and have lost 2lbs!
