Thanks for the Link milly.

Btw, - I just noticed this, hope it doesn't affect the Scotland's People Site as well?

I too haven't had time for the Course this week... I will try and catch up next week.

I agree that it is all too easy to sign up for too many FL Courses at the same time! I've certainly done this... I had thought that it was possible to go back to them at a later stage, but in fact, they disappear from the folder! (Unless you save them seperately under another name? Perhaps someone on here would know?)

Romilly.

Chris Paton's latest  blog post says that the Scotland's People Centre ( and the satellite hubs) will  be re opening on Monday and that their systems will be up and running (The hack did not affect the Scotland's People  website).

Romilly. The courses stay up for a while but I did notice that when I went back after a few months one had gone. But they were running the same course again so I just resigned up for that.

Good idea Milly, - thanks for the tip.

I was so enthused when I first found the Site, that I signed up for way too many at the same time. The Creative Writing one that has been mentioned btw, is the same Course that I paid for when it was a short Open University Course, - and so a bonus as a freebie(!)
