I have also met some wonderful human beings who have difficulty with things like reading and writing.
Hugs, Alex x
I married one of them :love: although reading is ok.

:cry: 
I voted what my online results average at, and no, I don`t think it reveals a great deal about my character. I`ve met nice people with low IQs, and complete arseholes with high, EQ is more telling, or perhaps just being a nice person, what`s in a label?
That said, I`m arrogant enough to take a smug pleasure in what I do score, which probably means that I`m not very bright at all really!

Not sure about the etiquette of hi-jacking yet but if you enjoy the brilliant Bill Bryson, can I make the recommendation of Garrison Keillor, particularly Leaving Home and The Book of Guys.
I'm not his agent, just a fan.
Sorry, please continue, I'll go back to the corner now
GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN!!
Keillor is boring. He has no idea about taking a breath. I think you'll find you are mentally ill. Please let me know, as so am I and I can possibly help you.
Oh my god, I think I just pissed myself!!!

Sorry, I didn`t understand the question.................... :P
Well, I didn`t get the opportunity to do my exams at school, I was too busy getting pregnant
. I did go back and do my English GSCE, ditched GCSE Maths due to travel issues and because I decided to try higher, not intermediate which is what I was doing. Took an Access Course in Humanities which I bombed (stupidy ignored the fact I needed to do at least 16 hours of this course at home, (I had an 18 month old at home still, as well as two at school 
) and later took and passed Access in Art and Design :bounce: .
I`m not sure which catagory Access courses fall in, but they are designed for Adults who missed out on the `normal` route to University. It`s a tough course, you have to proove yourself in a year. Needless to say I`m chuffed :smug:
I was going to do my maths and sociology GSCEs alongside a three year pyschotherapy course come September, but have knocked it on the head pending on health and money issues. I would like to try to go all the way to PHd, regardless of career, just because I don`t see why I should stop learning!
I`m horribly ignorant about some thngs though, but although I don`t have alot, the spirit is willing!
edit: Duh, Access = highers. More coffee methinks!

Due to recent hassles (Mars being ill etc) we have missed alot of wages. As a result we fell behind on our rent (again), and received a notice to be taken back to court for eviction.
I just got off the phone to my rent advisor and not only is he giving us another chance, but is cutting our agreement down from 20 quid extra a week to 5! :bounce:
I do need to pay current rent, plus save up a months worth to pay by direct debit for the next three weeks, which will be a little tough, but I`m nothing if not good with Tesco`s value!
The direct debit will be a godsend, as I am trying to run two households at the moment, ours and my disabled mother-in-laws, which also has a great deal to do with why I am slipping. All I need to do is `forget` that family credit is going into our account.
And no, I am not discreet about our debts. Don`t see why I should be. Mars works 40 hours a week, and works hard. I work hard too, just unpaid! We have nothing to be ashamed of.

Cheers Reese! I`l do that. I was hoping to do a slideshow of all the months, but fear the file would be too big for an AV. What do you think? I`d like to tidy up a couple ot the months first though, as I had to rush to get them in before and didn`t get the chance.
Last night one of the programmes I downloaded, inorder to give it a go, kicked off a screen saver which interfered with the wakeup alarm, and started a barrage of error noises at god knows what time of night. I ended up with the blue screen of death.
I was NOT happy!
