Bristol was my first choice anyway.
Im o.k with the studying and working as Im an engineer for a printing company and I work a continental shift pattern . That means I work 3 days a week or 3 nights so if you took monday as the first day of the month i would work like this
Mon,Tue,Wed days......... then........no work....Thurs,fri,sat,sun,mon,tue....then......wed,thurs,fri night.....then....nowork sat,sun,mon,tue,wed.....then..work....thurs,fri,sat day,sun,mon,tues night and then off till mon and back at start of month.
That means I work 12 days a month and I can devote at least 12 days a month to studying.
Thanks for your advice though I take it onboard and im not expecting an easy ride.
