    oh i don't think she feels guilty, its been her dream since she was a kid to be a doc, but just as her dream comes true, she comes to the uk and has to do more exams and time wasting :censored

    Salford Uni, i know the place well, i go past it on my way to work

    i went to SCOFE (salford college) right next to it, before that became part of Salford Uni.

    you know how hard it is Tish to study, work and look after a family.. I told her she can go back to the phils when she passes her exam, its been 4 long years since shes been back , maybe shes a bit motivated for the last exam

    I had no educational background when I left Philippines nearly 20 years ago, apart from finishing Elementary/Primary School, so I had to start from scratch here just to get to Uni. So it was so tough on me, well it's still tough now. But well worth it.

    I won't be earning as much as your missis when she qualifies, but to earn more than twice as much as the minimum wage is still good to me, considering i started from a £3.15 an hour as a production line worker when I first arrived!

    My husband do wonder why I still ask him for money now and again though Damn Philippines

    to you tish..

    better than sitting at home watching tv, getting know where


    SHO pay is not that much you know

    only way she could make decent money is train as a consultant, more time and exams, also places are few , not sure she has the will power for that any more

    as for sending the money to the phils dont i know it, like a black hole, sucks everything in

    I'm quite happy with my progression on the "ladder", and will be content to just end up on top Band 7 when I retire to be honest.

    And you're right Mod about Phil being a black hole sucking everything in! But not anymore For me anyway.

    well, I do hope I can find a job easily, when Isaac is older to go to school. No matter what job it is as long as it's decent.

    Daves right,you can buy degrees in pinas,or your families influence and power can get you one
    LOL... nice one.

    I would have to agree with you on this though.. that diplomas can be bought in Recto.. maybe some can buy degrees... but if you have an influential family who can buy you a degree, the school is most likely those that are thriving and would definitely need the donation...

    Joined the Furniture Show in World Trade Centre held every April. I'm not just positive if they are still doing it now there. Because that was wayback 7-9years ago

    Thanks btw!
