Can someone kick me into gear please?!

I'm finding it ok at the min Mum - first assignment went well but a long way to go yet so time will tell! I dont tend to sleep very well so have time of an evening to catch up on notes etc. I think it will be hard to keep the momentum up though as time goes on but I try and keep to the timetable they set.

Do you qualify for funding Sky? I dont but I pay monthly instalments which is easier to manage with OUSBA. I can find the linky to the calculator if you want to have a look? x

Was ur 1st assisgnment, about badger baiting and all the laws to that and about horses and mgt of the care of someone riding without a hat - along those lines xx

Ooh no but that sounds much more fun than the one I did! It was about the anti social behaviour laws on high hedges and the laws about sale of aerosol solvents. The next one is all about the making of laws which is not exciting in the slightest! x

Good grief Pingu and i thought my essay titles were bad..admiration for staying awake on those.
Have you had a good day today?

Guess they must change the essays to stop them being copied, thou looks like their on the similar themes, the one with the making the law, think that one needed a lot of quotes, but the hard bit was as the process so long and set in stone was how the heck to do I reword it and still make sense.

Hey there,

I'm also doing the W100 course (did a quick search on here to see if anyone else was)..... I'm finding it hard going. I'm finding the final question a bit too vague and don't know where to start.

Feeling a bit bogged by it today after I spent the day cooped up at the kitchen table and felt I ignored my DD on mothers day!! Feeling as if I've bitten off more than I can chew.....

Hi Bexs - sorry I havent replied, have had a nightmare week with the TMA and been trying to get on top of that! Just read your posts on the OU thread on the student board, hope you managed to get an extension. It is pretty hard going, I have just finished the Y166 too which I think gave me a false sense of security!

Had a day off work on Tuesday to do my assignment and could not find the assignment booklet anywhere so didnt have the questions to do the assignment - cue a mad panic and me and OH tearing the house to bits but it has vanished! Emailed tutor to see if she could send me the questions and emailed the OU asking for another copy to be sent - felt so stupid but tutor was lovely and emailed me a copy over and my duplicate arrived this morning - that will teach me to leave it till last minute!

Not much more exciting to report - have literally done no housework this week as I've been concentrating on the assignment so will have to do all that tomorrow.

Stayed the same at slimming and was a bit disappointed as I hoped for a loss been a very good girl but will hopefully show up next week instead.

Oh I knew there was some good news - added up how much debt we have cleared since Dec 08 and it comes to .....

£4616.70

Thanks everyone - cant believe how much its added up to when I dont really feel like we are making inroads - just shows that every little definitely helps!

Well after my v stresful week with work, training courses (that I actually fell asleep in!) and evil assignment I have fallen way behind on housework and paperwork! Have spent the morning playing dinosaurs with the kids which was great fun but hasnt helped the state of the living room!

Having a quick blast round the house before the racing starts at 2 while the kids have dinner and get their breath back so putting a list down in black and white and if you see me here before 2 then shout. Loudly!
