Sounds like a good plan!
I need to have a shower and cook dinner.
Also need to try and find an affordable desk!
And start to plan assignment.
Its only a 300-400 word thing to help judge what kind of level I'm at but I still want to do well!
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
I've looked at ikea and they're pretty expensive.
Argos have some good ones though.
I need to measure the space it would go in.
I've got a bay window so it will go in that space.
Not really got room anywhere else!

I love unexpected money Lorraine, I got some unexpected back pay for all the time they were dithering about me getting high moblity PIP. Awesome moment. I checked my online banking and assumed it was minus the amount and then looked again and was like what!? YAY!!!
Beckie re. desk I would strongly advise checking charities that do furniture such as St Roccos-I've had some awesome furniture from places like that over the years. First assignment nervewrackng but exciting! I need to get a proper word programme on my ancient laptop and invest in a cheap printer as I start college tomorrow (eek!)
I just found out the housing people who are supposed to be sorting out a more disabled friendly home for me have lost the OT report my social worker sent them. For the second time. And I'm not even on the effing list until that goes through. Luckily seein social worker tomorrow anyway so going to ask her to physically print the stuff off and hand it to them like I did with PIP form, she has said in the past she would do that as a last resort as oppose to emailing so I don't anticipate it being a problem-it's just when she has the time to trek to the place as obv she has like 3 million people to support so is a busy lady.

I actually am. Bit nervous as well-don't whether to dress how I would anyway or make an effort to look uber normal :P It'll be nice seeing the support worker who is also taking the course though, she had to stop supporting me after she broke her ankle badly as she couldn't be putting the wheelchair in and out of cars and stuff. We get on really well and I've missed her and at least this way I'll see her at least once a week. Plus someone else to get lost trying to find the right room with :P

Counselling level 2 (don't know what happened to level 1? :P). Once I have this I'm going to save to do the course that will get me a qualification in sign language to eventually (years down the line) put the two together to eventually be a counsellor who is fluent in sign language as I think it so important for deaf/none verbal people to be able to access MH support without the added awkwardness of counselling, person + interpreter.

Katy and Beckie I'm excited for you both! Also any time either of you would like a proofreader or anything then let me know, I enjoy that stuff!
Katy I would say wear what you like - students I know wear all sorts.
Beckie good luck finding a desk! I find it makes a big difference having one. I ikea-hacked myself a standing desk out of kitchen shelves and a wardrobe door because I couldn't find one I liked, and I love it.
Lorraine I've had an indoors day too even though I meant to go to Sainsbury's. Oh well. It's allowed. I hope you enjoy your drawing :)
That's fantastic Katy! I wish you all the success. I always meant to study sign language, because when I worked as an artist doing community groups I'd work with people with various disabilities where sign language would have been helpful.
