Oh no Kat, thats dreadful, as you say, as if isn't stressful enough without the invigilator adding to it. My daughter is the same age and has two interviews coming up so can share your worries.

Not such a fat kat now :)
I think she's now just panicking about having to change career but I suppose it won't hurt to have a non uni option just in case.
She wants to be a dietitian and she's done everything they've asked. We've spent the last year finding placements to prove she wants to do this. She was just devastated as a few of the placements she dud were in the catchment area of her first choice uni so we thought it would help.
I think what's happened though is as there are limited places anyway and the nhs pay the tuition fees that they have given each uni less places to offer now that fees are £9000 per year.
So it's fingers crossed and a lot of work to do for the interview on the 29th Feb .
I hope your daughter is successful . What does she want to do?

I'll have my fingers firmly crossed for her. My daughter wants to study stage management. She had done two years at Brit school but will need to specialise to get where she wants to. Again, limited options as there are only 2 places that do the course, both will be £9k a year unfortunately and her first choice is in London where living costs are much higher too.

It is. To put the fees up by so much in one go is madness, but guess we just have to go with it. It will just be dreadful to study for 3 years, come out with thousands and thousands of pounds worth if debt and not be able to get a job.

It's the main reason my son decided not to go last September.he had taken a gap year to work and have a break but in a period of have to sign on for JSA he saw people having just left uni with 30 grand of debt and unable to get s job because companies were taking on more experienced people because if the recession. So he decided he wasn't going to go until he was ready and wasn't going to 'fill time' that way.
In some ways I wish he'd gone but I can also see his point. He'll go when he's ready.

I am officially past my sticky point!!!
I am 14:7
I've not been this weight since my middle child was a toddler. and she's now 18.
I'll be happier next week if I can go down again just that bit further away from it. Will make me feel a bit more convinced I'm not going back up to 14:10.
Keep up the walking I think

arty0038::banana dancer:How can I say how ecstatic I am at the minute??
Ive just got back from my doctors weigh in. I was dreading it as the last two times Ive been Ive stayed the same. Today, they registered that Ive lost 9 lbs!!!!!!!
I had to see a different nurse. Same scales though but this nurse told me that they weigh 4 lbs off either up or down at any one time!! why couldnt my normal nurse tell me that? It means that all the time I was stressing that my scales were way out and had got stuck again that I hadnt really and the weight I thought I had lost, I actually had lost it!
so the doctors scales make me 14;1 but Iwont be using them as the real figure, just in case. Im going to stick to my scales which say Ive lost 3 lbs this week and am 14:7. which is good enough for me
It does mean though that Im through my barrier and I hope to continue that progress.
it seems that eating what I want, when I want, When Im hungry and making sure I walk for half an hour each day is actually working. No calorie counting, no fat counting just natural restriction.

That's amazing news! You must be dancing rather than walking
