    Hi everyone how you getting on? I'm still yet to start task2 . I was on such a high after finishing task1 and full of motivation but I just haven't had enough time to crack on with it. My daughter isnt having her handy naps at the moment i think because my son is off school and hes just too noisy and intereesting for her to nap. But My husband is taking the kids to his mums on Saturday so hoping I will get it started and finished then. Which is wonderful as I get to escape an inlaw visit. What a bonus.
    Hope you all are doing better than me

    I'm exactly the same - struggling to get going on task 2! Although I've had a bit of a read around confidentiality etc ready for the 'discussion' for task 3 so might message my assessor with my contact details and get it over with!

    Good luck everyone! Loving that we've got each other for support - so hard to know if you're doing it right!

    Best of luck with task3 . Let me know how it goes when you are assessed. I'm very nervous about that one.
    So far today is not going well. Husband and kids have gone to inlaws so I could get some work done. So brewed myself cup of tea turned on laptop and ms word is being funny. It's refusing to open. Argh. My resident IT expert is hubby so he's out I'd ring him but I manged to lose my phone this morning. Argh!! Why does nothing go to plan. The one time im free. Hmmm I could write the assignment to type up later when hubby home. But urgh that seems too much hassle. I can feel my motivation slipping away.....

    I know I'll turn lap top on and off. That's first thing IT people suggest isn't it. Fingerscrossed

    Hiya
    Is the business plan task 4? i think I will tackle that one after task2 . I'm not so keen on the oral exam of task3 so will put that off till I'm feeling braver. Hope it's going well. I wouldn't know where to start with a business plan. Hoping it will become clearer once I start that module. Good luck

    Afternoon.
    Yes task 4.
    Its quite hard, ive really got to get back in the swing of things and have it ready for thursday.
    So much info to digest and include. Not to mention the maths and money side of it.

    Wish me luck.

    And well done with the fixing of the laptop! :-)

    Cool

    Morning,
    So lastnight all i manged to do was the front page and my introduction :-( not happy but atleast its something.
    The hardest thing im finding is the fact its all 'made up' so to speak, like the figures for example they will be all pridictions and as im mot qualified, its all 'i will be doing this or going to do that'.

    But atleast ive made a start i suppose.

    Happy monday :-) xx

    Hi ladies I'm doing cypop5 tho mnt and who I called then to see if I could get feed back and have my assess marked they said no it all had to be put in together
    I feel I've spent a lot of time writing and writing with no one being being Able to give me any feed back
    Is this the normal? As I feel a bit lost and would just like a bit of feed back if I am on the right tracks as you'd get this in a class room
    Confused and a tad frustrated :-(
    Thanks for any feedback x

    Hi mine isn't like that. I have submitted task 1 and 2 separately and they were marked. I was asked to add a bit more to my safeguarding policy which I have done and resubmitted it. Who you didn't course with? Mine is PACEY.
    Good luck with it.

    Well done you. I had my task 2 returned so I've resubmitted that. That's all I've achieved in last few days. Hope my 2nd attempt is good enough. My aim is to get another task submitted over the weekend. On my course task 4 is one of last tasks it goes from task 3 to task 5. So I get to avoid that for a bit lol.

    Well done! If you have done whats been asked then im sure all will be fine :-)
    Your so luck to have task 4 last.

    Im on task 6 now. Think thats going to be an interesting one with lots of words and detail.

    As well as making changes to my previous tasks will have to put a plan together i think... X

    I can't get to do task 3 (chat with assessor about data protection) until next Friday so I think I will move onto task 5 whilst I wait. I still haven't had feedback on my resubmitted task2. It's a shame when you feel like you've finished something and then it comes back as in progress. Oh well hoping its finished now and I don't have to add more. I was asked to write more about safeguarding regulations. But now sure I added enough. I kind of just added a few references. Oh well time will tell.
