Right, i will be doing my course in Fossils etc. i have decided, all i have to do now is for my creditcard to get paid (sent off today) then i can start spend on it again :)
Also, i've been rapidly updating the HLG Wales website so it has all the presentations etc on it (very impressive i know)

Decision Decisions ...
I have a slight decision to makes, nothing enormous but i'm still having trouble.
Basically i've been looking at the Open University website and i noticed a very interesting couple of courses they're running in September. The first one is Fossils and the History of Life, & the second one is Studying Mammals. They're only £115 each, and they include loads of stuff for that along with the course materials, for example, books & DVDs.
The reason i'm having trouble deciding is this: firstly there is something in the air with the OU, in that they're going to be giving taster courses for free in October, however, i'm not sure if you would get points for these or whether they would be worthless. Secondly i'm supposed to be saving my money for an extension to my house, however, i don't really think i'm going to be able to save enough so i'm probably going to have to take out extra on my mortgage.
I'm going to have to mull over this decision for a few weeks anyway (i forgot to pay my credit card bill, and now i can't find the old bill, and basically i'm too lazy to find out how to pay it without the bill). So if anyone out there *echo* has any suggestions or has done either of these courses please give me advice.

I totally forgot
Blimey, i totally forgot about this blog (sorry Alasdair).
Well i managed to get most of the books i was talking about, along with a few others. I'm trying my hardest to read everything i have now, but i've only managed 30 so far this year (darn DS distracting me).
I'm currently looking after a mother cat and 4 kittens, all black and white (there is one randy black and white tom out there). The mother's name (prenamed) was Baby and is now Sadie, so i just have to name the kittens. Atm, they're called, "Oi you" "What the..." "You little ..." & "Awww ...", not the best for trying to rehome them, so i'm going to have to be a little more imaginative.
My knitting is not going to plan, the baby is going to have to wear a baby scarf from mad aunt Sarah at age 18 (years) the way i'm going :( I'm hoping mum is going to dust off her knitting needles when i send her the other patterns i (rather over-ambitiously) bought. I think TOH got it right when he described it as a "passing fad", he decided he would rather i had decided on the DS being the fad (so he could have it).
