someone wrote that she puts in her policies everything that parents money pays for eg training and activities. I am on df's laptop outside (yes lucky me I know) working on my policies, my laptop is very poorly and all my links are on it. luckily all my work was on the external drive so I haven't lost anything. the wireless is really acting up as taking 5 mins to load a page so if some kind person either has it book marked or can search for it faster than me you will be saving my bacon. I have 2 hours to finish my portfolio to hand in for marking and the in laws are 'popping' round too :angry:
