Feeling very proud today.

[Phoenix .]

Granddaughter has just informed me she has been accepted by Leicester University next term, she has worked so hard for it, sooo pleased and proud of her.

[Chrissie]

Congrats to your Granddaughter, Phoenix .

Congratulations to your Grand-daughter, you have every reason to be proud...she just needs some deep pockets now ...or mum and dad do .

Congratulations to her.
What will she be studying?

[Pepperty]

That's great news, what subject is she going for?
and does she live local and plan to study from home or is she moving into Uni digs?

My elder daughter has confirmation of 2 of her 5 options, but she was focusing on her 1st and they confirmed a few days ago. She's thrilled... i'm not so sure - its Swansea!

I swear its the furthest away she could go... its certainly a long journey by car, but train isnt so bad as she just changes at Crewe and goes direct there but its got to be a good 5 hour plus drive so I wont be nipping in to visit

[Phoenix .]

She thanks you all for your congratulation which I passed on to her.
She is studying for a BA in English and Spanish

The Uni is about 30mins walk from her house, as we live in Leicester, accommodation no problem.

Congratulations to her and the friends and family that helped her get there. We really need more people in the UK that speak other languages. We have became so bad we are letting our own die out (Welsh, Scottish and Irish Gaelic and even the Scots language is suffering).

I was one of the unwashed masses who hated French( our schools foreign language) but I was stuck in gay Paris for a few days during the Icelandic volcano eruptions, and I was flabbergasted at how much I remembered and how well I could read and understand people there. It made we really value the high quality education I received and question how much more I could have learned if I had cared to.

My wife ( PinkyPuff )makes me jealous. She speaks fluent Bulgarian and English and has a degree in Russian and Japanese. Wish I had half her talent.

Again, congrats to her and all of those that helped her.

Yeah we really are the pits when it comes to learning other languages. It has worsened IMO due to the language of computers being English based and most of the Internet Commerce, ruled by the American Dollar.

Congrats Spanish is so beautiful.

She did well at school and college with her Spanish, my brother speaks fluent Spanish and lives there,so when he comes here they are befuddling us all with their conversations in Spanish, it's lovely to listen to them though.

[PinkyPuff]

Before I come in Scotland my dream was to live in Spain.And still is..*cough cough *
All the beast to her and hope she can escape more often to Spanish sunshine
