Mark, everyone is wishing you good luck and I do too, but  ph34r

I've got a better proposition  ;) come here, I'll put you and dogs up  ;) and you can get a load of practising in before July  ;)



If only you'd take me up on the offer  ::)

Good luck, not that you will need it you'll fly through it  ;)

I, too, have every confidence in you. I always appreciate your advice.

Just thinking as I read through this thread that all our well-meaning encouragement is actually increasing the pressure on you to do well! :005:

Warn your OH to move out for the week before, I think you might get hard to live with as the stress kicks in. Or, as others have suggested, you could camp out in a lovely cocker locality and get lots of practice! Pity there isn't a larger group of us here in Berkshire ;)

Fab - Mark is nearer to me   :005: :005:

Mark if you would just cross over from white rose county to red rose county and sort Blue out on the lead I would be eternally grateful, I would even put a word in with your examiner  :005:

Best of luck, arent you lucky having loads of offers of gorgeous cockers (please choose mine  :lol:)

Go Mark!  Your help and advice has been invaluable to me.  I know I have my ADPT trainer locally but you're the one that is 'online' and you have quite honestly saved my sanity in the past  :shades:  You've always given sound advice and managed to suss out Ben without clapping eyes on him ............... just think what we could achieve if you ever met him!

Ever thought of moving to Hampshire?   :005: :005:

Again thanks for all the messages but it's maybe a bit premature as it turns out.
I was gutted to see the assessment date I've applied for is now full. >:(
I have already sent my application and cheque so at the moment not sure at the moment whether I'll get a place.
The alternative is west Sussex in October which is 500 miles round trip. >:D >:(

Mark

How about a COL training day to get you in the mood and ready for the test, you know there would be plenty of cheeky little cockers out there more than happy to help test your patience :005:
Working Cockers aren't mad it's the owners!!!
