I've just become a tax-dodging student and started an Art & Design course, well, 'Pre-Foundation Certificate'. It's only one day a week but it gets me out of the house, and I do really get a qualification at the end of the year.
And I now own a house! Well, a quarter of one. After a year of hold-ups and paperwork my name is now on the deeds of my old, unfashionable, repairs-badly-needed middle terrace. Hopefully I can get the repairs taken care of soon, then I can indulge myself in the really interesting part - decorating!
