I've managed to successfully complete the course but unfortunately I haven't had chance to update much of the site and have now lent my books to a fellow student. As soon as I get chance I'll add further things on here but if anyone has anything they'd like to add themselves just drop me a note and I'll pop them here.
UNIT ONE
Exercise 1.1 - What do I have in my purse and what kind of persona does it create for me?
What does this say about me? Well I'm not loyal to any particular supermarket, I like to shop around, I like to get things for free whenever I can, I prefer to make frequent trips to the cash-point than withdraw everything I need at once, I use an Orange pay-as-you go phone because it's the only network I can get a signal on down here, my friends are all snobs with their little business cards, I use pre-payment meters for both my gas and electric because the person that lived in my house before was forced to have them installed, and I never did pass my driving test! LOL To be honest I don't think it gives me any sort of "persona"... apart from maybe that I am the type of person that doesn't like to get things on credit and would prefer to pay for them in cash (hence no credit cards) and that I am too dizzy to remember things that I need all at once so often call in to any supermarket that is close! :o/
