Ugh... I just made a post and it vanished - I'll try again
I think the last time I was with you guys was a couple of years ago, so I thought I would offer a quick update as to what I have been up to.
I have pretty much been busy with work and still doing the OU study. I have infact just finished my 4th module with the OU. I have a 3hr exam last month for my philosophy course! I felt like someone had punched me in the arm afterward. Writing for 3hrs straight is not something I am accustomed to. I don't think I even wrote that much when I was school! haha. I was pleased that I knew the questions. We had 3 to answer, now whether or not I answered in the way the person marking the exam wanted is another question, but, I will find out as I get the result next month. If I go quite, you'll know why, I'll probably be weeping in a corner! lol
Besides that, I was promoted in my job a year last April from administrator to home manager which was a big step, especially since there was so much to organise and get us straight. The hard job now is to keep all of the plates spinning, but I can relax a little since most things have some system in place. So, this can at times give me sleepless nights, but it is a joy as well - so remember us in your prayers please The only downside is that I now have ANOTHER management course I have to do, I cannot seem to get away from assignments and studying of late. At least it gives me a break from the OU as I have decided to take a year out so that I can do my management course.
Nothing much else to report. I was telling Helen that I came across some old emails last night from the previous forum discussion we had from 2011 I think! This prompted me to get in touch with Helen to see if you were all still connected in one way or another and was very pleased to hear that you were! Wonderful news! So I thought I would join and hopefully offer some positive contribution somewhere or other. It's great to be here and look forward getting involved.
Every blessing
Nicky
