Hi, this is my 1st time on here. I have just got divorced and am using my 'rainy day' nest egg, this will also have to pay for my childcare for my 4 children, new stock etc so unfortunately there won't be much left but I feel my rainy day will come sooner if I don't do something worthwhile with it. I did look at a home study course but the customer service was uninspiring, but Kate my CND ambassador has been brilliant. I start my course at Cheltenham on May 29th. At 42 I feel I'm quite old and I am a complete novice (this is the 1st thing I've done for myself in over 12 years!!) but Kate has been brilliant, answering all my questions, advising me on relevant books that I have ordered from Amazon. I am a bag of nerves about it, but I am looking forward to meeting her and getting started. Did compare home study and college courses, but CND seem to come out on top and as I've read, they have small classes and excellent products. As for models......I will have to cross that bridge when I come to it!!!
