I meant the idiots advertising of course.

I do often wear a wooly hat
But I'm not overly tall, so no need to worry. I would have let you know if I was coming to visit.

As for the idiot advertising, it was almost beyond belief. I was going to e-mail, but there was no address, and only an 0845 phone number, so I wasn't actually going to waste money on it.

There was also an advert for some hair extension lot, with some of the worst grammar I've ever seen on the advert.

Puppy parties are where we get 4 or 5 puppies and their owners together for them to socialise for 4 weeks and we teach them how to do basic commands, flea and worming treatments and how to check for them and stuff like that. It's really fun so I chose to do that tonight instead as once this course finishes I'll be doing it by myself unless the new head nurse wants to do it as well and we earn money off it :)

Oh we had our meeting today about making the practice a training practice and it looks like it'll take around a month to get it finalised, so I'm going to say probably two months to be on the safe side and THEN I can finally register for college :)
