Hello all! Everyone well?

I'm so busy with uni at the mo (- especially as I lost 2 weeks to gastroflu,) so never get a chance to come on here as much as I'd like to.

OH and I sat down and discussed current finances the other day and it looks like we're going to be able to start looking at weddingy things soon! So that's exciting ?

Also, I wanted to let those of you know who commented on my PGCE interview thread (ages ago!)....that I got in!!! I had my interview on Wednesday and I received my acceptance letter this morning! Meaning that in September I'll be starting my PGCE at Loughborough in Design and Technology.

Thanks everyone who gave me advice and wished me well. Special thanks to Fancyfree for looking at my personal statement and RaeF for being a great support and keeping me motivated ?

Yippeeee! ?

    I'd love to get more qualifications but I'm too lazy. lol My jobs cushy, so I can't be bothered looking elsewhere even though I would love more money!! lol ?

    I'm starting a team leading SVQ which means I can progress to a Senior Customer Service assistant, when positions arise, but I'm rubbish at interviews!! lol

    I'm sure you'll do great in your course!!!

    Lxx

    That sounds brilliant.

    I'm rubbish at interviews too - I was so nervous! I think it takes a lot of practice doesn't it.

    Lol at the Master plan....thing is, I really have to plan it well seeing all the Hitchers who voted for me need accommodating ?

    Our date will definitely be 04/08/2012, but we just need to write a list of pros and cons of marquee v's "proper" venue. Eeeak!

    OH gets a "Golden Hello" (from the government) when he qualifies and he has always said he'll buy a new car with it, but the other day he said he wanted to "put it towards the wedding, so we can hurry up and have babies!" ? Bless him!

    Thanks all ?

    We'd have them now if it wasn't for the PGCE! haaaa

    We're planning (or were planning) on getting married on my parent's land in a marquee, but there is a lot to take into consideration - hidden costs (toilet hire, generator, heating etc), my Mum and Step-dad aren't the easiest of people and worries about the British weather. If we look at "proper" venues, then we'd like it to be a barn either in Suffolk, Norfolk or Cambs.

    I'm not really sure where to start - it's all so daunting!

    Thats mega!! Well done Smiley smile

    It will be hard work but well worth it.

    I'm DT trained and working in a pretty tough school at the mo so if you need any advice with anything once yo've started placements give me a shout - i'll be an 'old married' within 4 weeks but i'll still be around (can't imagine not planning anymore!!) and i hope i'll be over on BT soon too!!
