Mood board done, bearing in mind I only found out I had to do one this morning, have had 3 kids to look after and tea to cook amongst shopping for mags and stuff to put on the mood board. Please would you mind giving your honest opinion. The theme was seasons. I chose winter

[sparty]

Sounds like it went well Lou. Well done!!

 

[conlou1]

I am so poorly, laid in bed with my dressing gown, pjs and quilt on me. I can't sleep cos I feel too ill and I've decided to push my course back til next year, child care is proving difficult and with it starting Monday it doesn't give me enough time to sort it out plus I was reading the kit forms last night and I have to lay out for the kits which is 270 quid a d I may or may not get the money back, I don't have that sort of money so would have to borrow it which I don't want to do if I may not get reimbursed so I need the year to save for everything I need. I'm gutted as its what I want to do but I don't want to be missing days or having issues when I first start and get kicked off the course cos if I get kicked off that's the end of it for good. she offered me to wait until next year but I hope she isn't mad or thinks I'm not serious by putting it back a year, I'm scared it will reflect badly on me and then I won't get on. Sorry for the late night ramble lol

Well it's the middle of the day for me ^^

Sorry you're not feeling well. Try to drink as much water and get lots of Vitamin C to help fight it off and get as much rest as possible.

Next year sounds like a sensible plan to me. It gives you plenty of time to save up and prepare the Child Care- I am sure the college will understand. I know it's a bit crappy that things aren't starting when you would like them too but at least you will eventually start! Be pleased with yourself for passing the interview and having an ambition which will come to fruition in a year! And think of all the amazing things you can do in the mean time!

:hug99:

 

[conlou1]

Lol wish it was middle of the day here I could get up but I'm desperately trying to sleep as I have a busy day tomorrow.

Yeah I know it's the right thing to do just feeling a bit stupid for not thinking it through. I just got swept along by it cos it's what I really want. I'm so worried shell think this is me changing my mind and decide I can't do the course at all
Which I know won't happen but this is what happens when your ill with a fever laid in the dark with an over active imagination I want 9 I clock to hurry so I can get it over with

I always think being ill makes you feel awful about everything. I had tonsillitis in February and cried to my Mum over skype for an hour about EVERYTHING. Not just that I was sick but that I was a terrible teacher and a had no friends and I was all alone and my life sucked etc etc- it just made all my natural insecurities come to the front. And being tired does not help either!

And don't feel stupid. Explain to the lady that you are REALLY excited about the course but organising your family commitments is more complicated than you originally thought and rather than mess the college around now, you'd rather wait a year and start the course fully prepared financially and personally. But ask her if there is any preparation you could do in the meantime. That still shows your enthusiasm!

Don't worry too much Lou- everything will work out. Now, I advise you close your eyes and try to get some sleep! I always focus on my breathing- that usually helps me drift off eventually!

 

[conlou1]

Well the woman who was meant to
Be letting me know about whether I was on the course or not isnt even in today then it's the weekend and it starts Monday :/ she told me not to arrange anything til I'd got the ok but when I rang this morning the lady I spoke to seemed to think I was on it yet I have no info on times or anything. She seemed understanding as to why I couldn't start Monday, but was saying if it's just next week I'm struggling for then they'll sort something yet my tutor was saying 100% attendance or I'm off the course WTF? Buy it's not just next week it's every Tuesday til a space comes available then it's the fees issue, I don't want to miss any time so I'm just going to do the sensible thing and wait

 

[conlou1]

Well I am so ill. I felt like I was getting flu yesterday, but a friend came round then more friends came and I ended up REALLY drunk on vodka and I can't stop being sick. I've never been like this after a drink, I'm fighting to keep water down I can't have been ridiculously drunk cos I cleaned up when everyone left and made it to bed lol. Think it was drinking when I was ill. Not drinking ever again. Ever.
