    Ok my HHc at 2.00 went slighty pear shaped as first of all my elderly friend phones and then the hospital ....... yes you will have peace for 6 days - I am going in tomorrow for my treatment.
    So despite my attempts to be organised in advance i have still been flying around like a headless chicken going nowhere fast!!!!

    had to go to town with last of the ebay stuff and get couple of bits I needed to take with me.

    Off to have the leftovers from the fridge - one more thing done and then finish packing my case.
    I will return....... later!!!

    toots
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Grr had a word doc open full of comments (honestly!) and got a runtime error and it helpfully closed so I donot remember what I had to say and to whom...

    The main person to send hugs to is AnWsMum sorry for your friend but as has been said - a merciful release - lovely that the family had a chance to say goodbye and not watch her struggle...
    Take care of you...

  • How is uni going SSL?

  • No:confused: Should i have one?

    I think you would know if you needed one. QMU is a 'cashless' campus, so everything is done on your matric card. Its a matric/ID/payment card in one. You use it to get into the library, pay for lunch, print essays etc. Its great!!!! I thought maybe all the unis did that now. DD has a smart card to pay for her lunch...wasnt sure if it was used in Edinburgh.

    I cant believe there is such a big wide world out there. Its such a culture shock having worked in the public sector for the last 10 years lol. I'm loving it :D

    Hope all those who have started Uni and college are enjoying it and finding their feet.
    Well done Juliejim on the SW weight loss - my kids used to LOVE it when I won SoW - bag of fruit!
