Default i've got into college!! FIRST DAY TOMORROW!!!! AAARRRGGGHH!!!

i've finally been accepted onto the college course ABC Diploma Mechanics!! start in 2 weeks, brickin it a little bit but excited too!!

They said i could do next course instead (level 1) which will save me a year there, but its obviously a bit more advanced than the abc, and i dont wanna say yes and then be the one going "whats that??" LOL

Have you got an Army and Navy store near you? When I was at college that's where we had to get them from. Failing that any industrial clothing supplier.

Overalls and boots from arco if theres one near you

I would recommend timberland pro, boots are pricey but I've had mine 4 years and they're still mint!!

You do NOT want surplus boots

I spend £200 a year so I don't have to wear those fucking boots

My advice is some Caterpillar boots from ebay, cos thats where they're cheapest, and some overalls from http://www.dickies-workwear.co.uk/
