Another ones off

Post by Benw »

Cheers Lads. I am off to CTC on Monday to start Foundation. Usual mixture of fear and excitement is pumping through my veins but I can't wait to get stuck in.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their input on this forum, I have found it invaluable and hope that I have also been able to add something useful now and then. Thanks to Sticky and the Mods for starting and maintaining this site, I'll be sure to spread the word.

All the best,
Ben

Good luck Bro !!

My advice....

Get up 10 minutes before your mates. You get more hot water, you will be smarter and you will have to rush less !!

Best of luck!

When someone tells you to jump 3' in the air, be on the safe side and jump 3' 6" that way you have a 6" start.

Enjoy the experience.............

Thank's for all the words of support. I'll make sure to report back as often as I can.

Only two more nights. Woo Hoo!!!
