Found out today that he has passed all his OU exams and now has an Advanced Diploma in Accountancy to add to his qualifications.

3 years of hard study, during some of the busiest working periods of his life, but he did it!

Well done to him you are right to be proud it is hard to study and work at the same time. Both my son and daughter did it when in their 20s/30s.

Congratulations to your OH GlasgowLass, no easy task balancing work and study, so well done to him :-)

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Well done to your OH.

To study and gain another qualification while still working too is not at all easy.
