Will I be a student in 5 weeks?

So we made it to Gloucestershire and had a lovely day on Saturday. About 30 relatives on the Elgie side all made it to sunny Glos. and a good time was had by all. Mum's now in a bit of a funny situation, having been asked for the recipe for the lemon tart that she cheekily passed off as her own. Luckily her computers broken so I guess she's got some time on her side to try and come up with a plausible recipe. Jacob seemed to have got jet lag after such a long day so got a bit of a lie in on Sunday. Today Jacob and I went for lunch in Notting Hill, for the first time ever we were turned away from a bar/restaurant, thought Notting Hill was supposed to be full of Bugaboos and A-list mummy's, no wonder the place was empty. Anyway ended up having a nice lunch outside at Nandos. Was catching up with Liz who has just returned from a two year stint for the VSO in India and she's off to Nicaragua next month for another two years. Makes me think that my career change is a bit small fry compared to doing that!!!!
Unfortunately still no confirmation of a definite place at ULF so have no choice but to remain patient. It's getting close now................ just wish I knew what was happening for sure............... Another bug bear is the fact that I've been chasing up Jacobs prospective nursery to try and firm up on arrangements. They haven't contacted me and even though I went round there and left a message for the supervisor to call me I've still not heard anything, hope it's not a bad omen. So rather annoying I'm still keeping everything crossed but not a happy bunny this week with all the uncertainty and severe lack of finances. Oh well things can only get better, or atleast I hope they will!
