    Good news on the payments - I was paid today, but I don't think there will be any left for overpayments, sadly. Still, if I can stay within my limits everywhere, that will be good enough considering it is the toughest time of year!

    Back to normality by about February I reckon!

    Have a good day at Uni :D


    this is a very expensive time of year atleast though most of us on here have started to become aware of it and get organised earlier february is always a nice time january bills are out the way by then lol

    and damb i am meant to be writting correctly now to practise my grammar ( is that an ar or an er) .

    I have very bad grammar issues. i cant write coherantly for toffee, i think it stems back to school where we wern't taught it. Either that or i didnt pay attention that day. So i am attempting to write on here correctly, so if i make mistakes please feel free to correct them. Phew it is harder than i thought. Now i wonder if i got that bit right.

    Grammar teaching has been appalling for years, El, I agree with you. In English, I was taught what nouns were, and that was about it. The only reason I know anything else about grammar is that I went to an old fashioned high school that did Latin, so I took Latin O level, and you *have* to grammar to do Latin.

    As far as your elective goes, how are you leaning today? Its difficult when you take a course based on a "should", I think - you know, I should study that cos its useful in my job, rather than, I love that so I want to learn about it. But your course isn't really your priority any more, is it? Its your business. And actually, a course like that might help in the biz too - after all, some clients will be using legal drugs and the more you know, the better.

    Hope your head has cooled down!

    my head has settled slightly. I was up till 1.30 am this morning doing 1 essay structure and a bit of questioning myself. I enjoy questioning myself immensely (goodness me since i decided to watch my grammar(is that right) my spelling has got worse). So last night after i did the essay structure (arrrrggggghhhh) i did the whole, why is it you think like this? do you still think like this? what has changed in your thought pattern? bit of my life. Once again i did another psychometric test (i love those, thanks bob) and once again i came out an infj, so i read a bit more into it last night (obviously couldnt sleep) and yep it's me ok. Almost right on the nose. The bit that threw me was the referance to artistic creative stuff but other than that i am she of the infj lol .

    Right my head today for the elective is still on the drugs bit. I am actually stearing away from any bit of the Community Education bit more. I was thinking that i should maybe do another comm ed bit but the more i think about it the more i say no. So that is today's current situation.

    Dinah i sent you a pm did you get it?

    right now onto business. I have done the scratches today and got another £5 this is very very unusual for me and i dont really know what to make of it. I had my business meeting early and these c.d's are most deffinately harder to do than first anticipated.

    my brains are fried trying to do this grammar but i am so glad my angel thought of it because it deffinately is making me think me about it instead f letting it sit

    You're doing fantastically Elantan.Which scratchcards do you do?..You really seem to be getting your head around what you are wanting to do as the extra bit of your course so that must be a relief for you.

    I just do the bingo and virgin ones taxi. I feel for me with the amount of things i have going on i have to be ralistic in what i do and i think if i did too many i would give up and not keep up the momentum.

    I am spending an hour on here and surfing the net then i am head down for a few hours of studying. Now that i have my structure for essay one i need to concentrate on research (tonight's mission) and starting to get referances sorted. So i will be reading and referancing for most of the night on essay one. Going to do essay two tomorrow and essay three on sunday. I feel for me it is important not to spend all my time on one essay and finish that before i start another.

    Right knee, remember that one? I have decided to start excercising it again. Tonight i started doing squats again. I did 10 and the pain shot up through my knee but it soon subsided, so i think i will continue with 5 and build up slowly. It is funny how i could go walking and get no pain but squatting and it is shreik city.
  • Oh aye, i remember the knee El..nag nag!
    Glad you like the tests, i still enjoy them and have done a few others..there are links galore on those websites...

    Good luck with the essays, i have a couple on the go at the moment, but have only just managed to have something resembling a thought.LOL
