  • Wow, Tag - that's some list, but don't be too down, looks to me like you've crossed loads off...

    As you can see, not shopping - just eaten egg on toast and having a cuppa tea while I watch H&A - well, you've got to have a routine haven't you... :D

    Am sitting with laptop in lounge while I eat and watch, just caught up and checking off some of the paperwork I've got to do, so not being toooooo lazy...

    Right.. do I apply for Leeds uni and travel 51 miles there... and back.. each day???????? OR.. Do I plump for one of the less appealling courses at the uni here??? (would probably be medicine and 5 years instead of 3 OR operating dept practice .. yes I am weird!)

    I need guidance and I know you lot will be much better than the connexions here

    Enthusiasm seems to be disappearing this afternoon after the efforts put in this morning, not achieved much since lunch -
    put away last nights ironing
    put away dried washin from airer
    sorted out some change of address post
    wrapped pressie ready to take to post office at school pick up time
    and pottered about on the pc for longer than I intended.

    Still freezing but looks like I will have hot water back for tonight and heating for tomorrow:j

    Yeah looks a bit too daunting like that. So I'm gonna delete what I've done and move it up a bit in a minute.
    Mind you after weeks of flying I'm whizzing through it quite quickly:j I can't get over how much easier everything is. Before I'd have thought I'll never do this. But with the HHC's especially, it's amazinging what you can achieve in such a short space of time.

    I so love this thread. :D

    I do a 40 mile round trip 3 days a week to work. Takes me half an hour in the car each way and that's not in rush hour traffic. Are you driving or busing or training it?

    Forgot to add it costs me about £12 - £15 in fuel.
