I think Joan mistook me for a bot!! :D I'm quite sure it was an honest mistake and my suggestion of a temporary banning is nothing more than hyperbole.

You can't blame me. We've read your posts, you look like a troll to me.

;D

For the record, I noticed that google had started indexing this site and was getting all up in the members only section. It turns out - doh - that there were 45 bots that were members of the group Registered Users, and only 22 actually humans. I did a slash and burn to get the bots out of there, and poor @Sonic Budgie was collateral damage. Because he wasn't in the Registered Users, Guests or Bots group, he could see practically nothing on the site.

We have a surveyor coming today. Mr R's going to increase the mortgage on this place and pay off the mortgages on the Newmarket house and the London flat. He's decided to make his move before Brexit actually happens and interest rates go haywire.

Thanks, it was all going well till I had ot label a diagram and I went blank.

The blanks should have been housing, Unemployment and Working conditions, I put housing and employment. Might have been ok except I then had to select a category and talk about it, I choose employment, so Im guessing the marker may decide anything I said on that is 0 points!

I've always been a terrible judge of how well I've done in an exam. Hopefully you're the same!

Thanks, Im actually confident on most of it, Im pretty sure i smashed the biology and pharmacology parts, its just the sociology one where I may have screwed up a lot of points. You need to pass each section.

If I fail will learn from it. Next time i would pick one of the categories I have been given (non blanks), I may not get as many marks but at least I would get some.

I think it great how hard you are being on yourself; you are going to be an amazing healthcare worker. But I am sorry you are finding it tough going.

(I had a friend studying medicine. She was so disinterested and lazy, she had to do make up exams at the end of each year. I don't know if she ever graduated; I hope not, she'd make a terrible doctor)
