As a fellow brit and also lover of baking and the show i too say, put it down. I would maybe put pole fitness or aerial arts though, like someone has already suggested. But i think it would give you a little edge – I’d wanna see you bake anyway!! Good luck, and let us know how you get on!

My husband is frequently in the foreground concentration intently on his laptop. Don't think he could live without it. My cat frequently used to join in on her cat tree and was often more entertaining than I was. Sadly she died in the summer and now ,our puppy has to be locked in his cage whilst I pole, otherwise the temptation of me rolling around on the floor and dangling upside down is just too much for him and he has to come and try and dance with me

I can only comment from a british point of view, but I am married to a regular army soldier, and I am also a reservest soldier. With regards to social networking our military specifies that you cannot post anything to do with depolyment, e.g.
"Nichtooks is currently enjoying scoff house food at Bastian 2 cookhouse where she's just seen Prince William and laughed at the guard staff who are walking around wearing only their rifle and boxer shorts…." for obvious reasons. They can also 'tell you off' for posting anything that could bring the army into disrepute (they use this a lot). e.g. "Got into a proper good fight at the pub last night where I gave some civvie a right good seeing to". Other than that, no one has ever commented (in a negative way) about my pole pictures. Quite the opposite, all the lads in my troop want me take a pt lesson on the pole!!
In the British military the RAF is the poshest where you get the best treatment/food/accom, and the army has the worst, but it's by no means bad.
I assume in the US you get to choose a trade to go into, so I would choose a couple that interest you, then compare and contrast the same/similar trades in each of the forces. You might also want to consider the length of training for each force and fitness/intelligence requirements.If you are going to be going into an intelligence unit or choose a trade that requires you to have mega security clearance then you need to be very honest in you activities. They will ask you questions about your past/hobbies/embarrassing things/anything that could potentially be used to blackmail you, for example, how you come from a very christian family but did it up the ass as a dare whilst you were a teenager. Something that in the grand scheme of things isn't terrible but someone could threaten to tell your family unless you give them some info they want. You get the idea.
Hope i've not waffled on too much or been patronising :/
Good luck! -
Hey, I'll join you. Currently living in Germany but I am a Brit, and the one hour time dif shouldn't make too much of a difference.
-
Debss, i'm in the army so can sometimes get cheaper rooms in hotels. Will have a gander later on and see if there's available nearby and will let you know prices etc.
Lizzie, can you make the jam on the sunday? We'll 'demonstrate' everything we learnt the previous day for you (she says in a hopeful voice!)
Whoop Whoop!

Hazelnut I've just paid online for the workshops so I guess there are still places left.
Here's the link I used:

Ah, thanks Debss, that's really helpful. I wasn't sure if the advanced one would be too advanced, but if we're around the same level then that'll be cool! Will defo do that now.
I'm still tempted to do the beginner one too though, just so's I know i've got a good foundation and for more ideas. Only ever had a few beginner lessons so I must be missing vital knowledge!Can't wait! 😀
-
I think we should take up the challenge ladies and gents 😉
-
Becky, i'm defo going to do at least one of the workshops, but I've no idea which one would be most beneficial to me or indeed what level i'm working at. Do you know what sort of things each w/shop will be covering? I'd love to do both but don't want to take a space away from your regular students.
-
Brilliant Becky – never done any aerial stuff. I am getting more and more excited by the day. Do we need to sign up for the workshops or need to pay in advance?
-
Oh my goodness – I am so excited! Thanks so much for offering your studio Becky!! That's the weekend after Rememberance so is perfect for me, and I would love to do the workshop too.
Debs, not sure if i'm flying over yet or bringing the hubby and the puppy in the car, but either way would be great to have someone to stay with.
So. So. Excited. Just need to get some practising in again now 😀
-
That sounds brill Becky! I'd be up for travelling to Manchester. If people are having to travel a distance how does staying in a b&b overnight sound and having a couple of bevvies in manc on the evening too?
-
I live in Germany, but would still class myself as a northerner 🙂
I'd totally be up for this if it were arranged for November time. I'm back in the UK then around rememberance and would love to jam. I could enquire at the studio I used to attend in Hull to see if we could rent that out if needs be. -
Have you got a cable that will go from the camera into the computer? That way you wouldn't need to put it on the sd card first.

Hallo from Germany, though i'm originally from Hull 🙂
I'm not a great social animal when it comes to girls, I can find them difficult to get along with, but I did enjoy it when I went to classes back in the UK. It's nice being able to share everyone's ups and downs, and there's always that little bit of competition (if you so wish).
If you start in the very first beginner class then you'll already have a head start on the other girls there and it will really help to establish everything you've learnt so far.Look forward to seeing your progress!
