As I lost enthusiasm for it ages ago and have been coasting along. I was supposed to be doing 2 A levels but could see that wasn't going to happen, so I opted to do just the one the other week. Now I see that my coursework for that is substandard and I dont have the time or motivation to force myself to do so much by the end of this week. I'm not too bothered. I dont want a job in ICT and I've already got a GNVQ (higher that the standard school GCSE) anyway. I'm concentrating on my English exam to add the full A Level to my AS Level. Even so, my jobs for the near future are self employed anyway, wish I knew that before I took up the course 2 years ago

You know I wish you luck in whatever you do - last I heard of you were thinking of estate agent? Thought journalism etc would be more your forte. Ann

Ann? Admirer? Get away with ya! Only about 3 out of 9 esate agents even bothered to use the SAE I included in each letter to get back to me. Quite rude I thought. For the next 6 months I'll be writing local history books, setting myself up as a private researcher for Birkenhead Central Library and hopefully acting as a company director for a genealogy business my granddad will be funding in July. I have to do a business plan but he is interested in the idea.

Imagine putting me down as an admirer of yours - many moons ago you turned me down even though I offered a good lancashire hotpot and you were only interested in my (then) 18yr old g.dau. Ann

There's nothing wrong with an afternoon nap (I'm just jealous as I have to work and can't have them)
