    Sounds like a plan. I’m going to do my meds then bunker down for the rest of the day

    *hunker* :/
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    OK then I shall spill the beans!.....I've signed up for an OU course. Many years ago when my dad was alive I started a BA in Arts and Humanities, I was doing quite well and enjoying it when he became ill and I found that trying to study and looking after him difficult...I got close to finishing Level 1 when it became impossible so I had to stop the course. I've always wondered what would have happened if I'd continued. You'll all think I'm mad but I've enrolled again for the same course. I'm under no illusion that it will be easy - Jaq, you'll know what I mean as you're doing a degree course yourself! - It's going to be a slog, and being 67 I'm questioning if I'll have the brain power, but I'll certainly have the time!! The OU have told me that they have older people than me doing degrees which is comforting!
    I haven't told anyone else for fear of being ridiculed...a lot of people will think I'm mad. I've got my text books which are lovely and in a nervous/excited way I'm looking forward to it. I guess I have something to prove after all of those years of drinking and missing out on that 'something' which would make my parents and myself proud...I had potential at school but messed around. So before I leave this earth I'm going to give it a damn good go. I need encouragement, confidence and a push, so maybe you guys can throw me some confidence along the way.

    Well done Flo!! Super proud of you.
    With your determination and positivity I know you will make it through. Once you get back into the 'flow' studying again it will come back to you.
    I love that you saw what you wanted and went for it. You are truly a go-getter!!
    I'm a ditherer so I love and admire the 'up and at it' attitude in others.
    Huge huge congratulations. X
