ciara.e, I have Parents Day for my Mum, because my father died when I was 9 and I felt she did such a good job picking everything up and looking after 5 kids on her own.

cmama, I just wanted to say, I know exactly how you feel. I have been doing a degree full time for the last 3 years, and before that I did a full time "intensive" bridging course to get into University, and there have been nights when I've just lost it and wasn't coping. Actually, let's be realistic, there were many nights where that has happened!

University Student Support is one of the things that has kept me (almost) sane these last few years, the free counsellor I got is amazing and she has on occasion written letters to my lecturers so that I could get extensions when I have a meltdown when I am supposed to be getting an assignment done.
