Mac - they are obviously the wrong prescription! Danny no I just have a browse first thing, rarely start the crossword until 10.30/11.00, have to go and get the paper first.

Hi Margo, thanks for asking.
Olivia's just finished her second week at Hallam Uni (well first week was Freshers so doesn't count). So far she has only had one bad day; she's staying very positive and looking forward to enjoying Uni life. Phew!

[MargoTester]

Captain - that's really good news, what's she reading? Is Sheffield far from you. My son went to Hull about 3 hours from where we live in Bedfordshire which made visits fairly infrequent, which was probably a good thing. I sobbed my heart out when we left him there but he loved every minute and is still in contact with the friends he made there, it was the making of him. Please send her my kind regards and wish her well x

[Captain2]

Margo, up until last October it was going to be Nursing (with emphasis on Mental Care). She is now studying Psychology and Criminology! Work that out if you can.
We are are about 1hr 15mins away by car and rail so not too bad - Mum's been to see her already.
Thanks for your kind wishes, they will of course be passed on.

[MargoTester]

Captain - that sounds interesting, she could become the next Cracker then (remember him?)

[dannyk13]

Well done to Liv Capt.
