Sweetie, darling, lovey, I'm a fully trained thespian as well you know...................... Gwynne

Left school at 15 and went to work. Went to college at the ripe old age of 38 for 2 years at Hertford Regional College and got my Diploma in Nursery Nursing (NNEB). Did 1 year of an HNC in Early Childhood Studies and dropped it to go to University.Worked full time and did my degree part time. Graduated at the age of 48 (2 years ago) from the University of Luton with a Batchelor of Arts Honours in Educational Studies 2:2. Got C grade GCSE Maths and Science from doing the degree and a GCSE A* in English at college.

Queen Mary College, London. I read History but dropped out in my 2nd year. How does Dee manage to study without having to produce essays - I want a place there! :-))

I'm doing the open university BA (open) hons with a bit of everything. I'm currently doing German and Social Science. I hope to do philosophy and psychology in future years.

Not yet but will do in September/October :-) btw can someone tell me all the different levels of degree cos I'm always getting them mixed up and forget half of them lol

The never-ending university of life .... still learning. Good luck at university, Wendy. Hope Georgeous enjoys it, too ... :-)

Uni of Greenwich - BSc (Hons) Nursing:Child (not finished yet so no classification)

I'll be graduating from De Montfort University in Leicester this July, having spend three years doing a BA Hons in Graphic Design and Photography. In fact, today, we've all been in the pub on the edge of the Grand Union canal because the deadline for putting our work out for assessment was 4pm today. Got some time off now (thank goodness) but have to go in on Thursday so I'm going to be productive and use the time to go to the Leicestershire records office. I'm so into 'work' mode I just don't think I can sit and do nothing for a week.

Books

I went to Leicester uni Got 2.1 B.A.(hons) studying Fashion + Textile Design in 1982 !!! I'm an old f*rt lol Gaynor ;-)

I went to L.I.F.E. uni......................on the streets of the world!!! Sorry but I wanted to but my dad said hed done enough!

Messy Misa - I kind of agree with you there. I only did mine because I was a single parent living on zilch, and they still had grants (just!) so I thought I may as well learn on zilch so tried to see if I could blag my way into the local uni - and I did!!! Youngest did a 'sensible' degree in Geography & geology, is now working in Planning and will be doing her Masters (paid for by the firm) next year. :o) I tried to get on a graduate teacher course (where you learn 'on the job'), but when I got the forms, they only wanted those of an 'ethnic origin' - whatever that is - I'm Ethnic english, but it doesn't count, apparently - or men!!! Talk abour blatant discrimination!!! maggie

Hiya Wendy, I went to Sheffield uni and studied music, got a 2:1 I loved my time there, Caz xxx

Coleg y Prifysol Abertawe - degree in Welsh History - utterly useless - not used it since the day I finished. Mr Medlock on the other hand is a graduate of the University of Life, having been kicked out of school at 15 as unteachable and has far more survival skills than me! I'm good at pub quizzes, but hopeless at working out odds or darts finishes!

Everyone I know who's been to university has ended up with a job totally unrelated to their degree. I think university education is vastly over-rated - common sense is a much more useful attribute !

I managed to do a year of History through the University of Kent and got my Certificate I started the Diploma but found it hard going and I had to ditch it I am still studying through the University, but not having to produce the essays Dee x

University whats one of them then, Thicko here wouldnt stand a chance more a practical person than aceademic whereas my sister is the other way round.

hi studied the very long drawn out way with the open university and got a 2:1 in Psychology-eventually!! I loved it though and the people you meet are great-just like on here - all ages and all walks of life. Angela x

I would think you have seen her around Ladybird, she has only very recently changed departments, so you may have even spoken with her!!! Do you know a Carly, has a little girl, pregnant now, got married last April? That is my girl!! Sorry Bendy Wendy, is kind of Uni related!! I'm not sure I have the brain cells left now though Ladybird, or the confidence, all that studying. What will oh do....grumble I'm not spending time with him! lol Nanna-Moo ;-))

Hello there Benders! Hope you and the Georgeous one are good! I didn't quite get the grades so was unable to get into Bournemouth to study PR... and boy am I relieved now!! xx
