My first full 40 hour week in 7 years. I am exhausted. Very strange not to be finished at 1pm and then have rest of day to cooking, cleaning and shopping. Have to plan everything in advance. Luckily working from home so the commute is not a factor for now.

Congrats Siobhan! Great news! It is wonderful to follow your dreams. I have retired early (55) and am just completing my masters - I am contemplating a PhD, but may just try writing - we will see! Life is an adventure 😍

WOW!! you have been busy girl!! I am doing a 2.5 year course in Media IT. It has been tough studying at night while working full time but I love learning and would have loved to be able to afford to do a PhD.

I did my second degree and the first year of my part-time masters while working, and it was hard going. I think the saving grace for me was that I am doing it for interest - a hobby really - nothing work related. I will only do a PhD if it is funded - the AHRC give approx. 35 scholarships a year to over 50s, but to be honest, that might make it too much like work? An alternative is an MPhil at Glasgow, where I got my first degree (in the 1980s), they have a 20% alumni discount, and I may (bizarrely) qualify for a student loan for the fees anyway 😂

Had a bit of a rough 2 weeks. Went into hospital for a laparoscopy on the 22nd of Feb and they found my uterus was joined to my stomach wall after my c-section 21 years ago, so they separate them. Had to spend the night in hospital. Luckily I only have 3 small scars and just had to wait for them to heal. I was just getting back to work when I got the worst toothache I ever had and had to get my tooth removed. Happy to say, all is ok again. Still need to take things easy until internal stitching heals.
