Morning all

Lil-me - you have a lovely holiday and a very happy thirtieth birthday. Right, sun shining here this morning. I need to do Mr. T's at some point, some ironing and finish off trying to fix nice neighbour's puter for her.

Have a good day ladies

(why oh why the OU year runs Feb-October I don't know, flippin idiots!) I think I've decided to jack the one in I'm really far behind with, partly OUs fault as have had problems with dispatch from day 1 which means I have spent all my time chasing my tail.

Hi lil-me, think you have made the best choice about which course to drop. They really have mucked you about with that one.

Incidentally, I know it wasn't a serious question but, when the OU was set up they were concerned that students studying at home should have the 'real' uni experience so they structured the courses to run Feb-Oct so they could have Summer Schools halfway through course using other university's facilities. Rising costs mean that very few courses now have a SS and they do now have some courses starting in Oct.

I don't think so - not after last week's thread (TWO faces! uurgh) You apparently need a very secret place to keep them as they are easily found.
