So I walked into town - good Karen, lots of Action Points, realised I had forgotten my purse, walked halfway back, called a taxi...
Finally got into town. Bought the dress, a pewter pashmina and shoes and bag to go with the dress and a marks and spencer skirt and top that just happened to fall into my bag as well. My credit card is buzzing
I'm very naughty.
Then went to see the Time Travellers Wife at the flicks (good but not as good as the book) and walked home! So have walked for 2.5 hours today.
And spent lots of money, but we won't talk about that.
I have stuck to the diet as well so very proud of myself from that point of view

Excellent news I'm ready and waiting with support. Seriously though being called Doctor brings some drawbacks but oh my god the feeling when you get there all that work done, the sense of completion and achievement I wish you all the best I loved it so much I did all over again.
Proud of you

Up for the challenge
Hey my love. Sorry for the delay. Great call on the dresses they are the ones i would have gone for too! What exceptional taste you have hehe. And a pashmina to boot i think we must be twins . I love pashminas i have a ridiculous amount but i still manage to justify getting a new one (even on a student budget).
oOo check you out with your PHD. That'd be great. Good luck with it all. xxx

You brave, and very lucky thing.
I am sure you will do brilliantly. What is the scope of your PhD - you may have told me this already....and I've not seen it - sorry If you have. xx

All very nerve-wracking I must say - waiting to hear if I have got a place. Jane, I wouldn't have been able to afford this either but I have applied for a part-time studentship which will pay the fees and give me a small bursary so I can reduce my hours at work a little.
M, I'm anticipating the confusion of being called Doctor while working in the NHS lol. I'm expecting to take you up on the offer of support, advice, tea, sympathy etc etc etc
Jess - Dr Fury? Hmmm, I might need to change my name! Keith calls me Babule (pronounced Bab-yool) so has started calling me Dr Babule which is better than my actual name, which does sound rather stupid with Doctor in front of it.
My thesis proposal (taken direct from my application) is:
"Disability and disadvantage amongst people with non-visible conditions. Exploring the perception within the disability movement that people with invisible conditions do not experience direct disadvantage or stigma and applying this to issues of disclosure of health conditions in the workplace and the availability, or otherwise, of reasonable adjustments for disabled people with invisible conditions. Considering the concept of “disability” for this group of people and the advantages and disadvantages to the individual and to the employer of encouraging disability disclosure."
Hopefully not too dull! Better not be since I'll be working on it for about another five years!
