I can say it has crossed my mind - often its just blinking childish - he was odd from when I gave him a copy of the proposed tenancy agreement wondering why he had to pay a deposit - answer - because its a proper arrangement. I think I have insulted his moral code or something - when I explained it was standard normal practise he seemed a bit surpised.

- going to re do my sums - lodger girlie is no bother infact aside from the odd glimpse of her - I would hardly know she is there - will re do finances and have a real think.

OK if you want to die of depression and boredom like me - as I am supposed to exhibit a 'lexically dense' vocabulary (as per my course tutor, my supervisor et al) - this might cheer you up - I have spent about a week and only have about 500 words so far......all I want to say is - they are good at growing quick - easy eh - oh no I have to say something like this............................

'Salix species exhibit many characteristics consistent with ruderal or pioneer species that successfully colonise newly created habitats or disturbed environments (Koeleian & Volk, 2005). These traits include the ability for expeditious growth combined with a capacity to grow enthusiastically in relatively dense stands, whilst maturing quickly. Salix can also form mutually beneficial symbiotic associations with several types of mycorrhizal fungi allowing nutrition in the most degraded of areas (Backhaus et al., 1986). Moreover, Salix have quick growing matt forming roots which are also capable stabilising disturbed soils by withstanding both anoxic and alluvial environments. Furthermore, Salix exploit a highly successful dispersal strategy ensuring survival having a tenacious capacity to regenerate vegetatively from almost any fragment of aerial material and also by prolific seed production. ..........'

Oh.....

Did you make up some of those words? If you did, I refuse to play scrabble with you

Piq - I love scrabble - not very good at it though

I am not very good at words and making them posh (ie lexically dense) - however, I currently have the thesaurus (sp?) open on my word document - I put in my own normal word

like

'types'

and it comes up with

'characteristics'

I wonder if you can get one for scrabble?

My supervisor is enthusiastically encouraging my use of such stupid words.

I will investigate the campgain for 'plain english' and see if they will take my case.

'To slap the lodger'
turns nicely into
'To strike (collide, wallop, sock, belt clout, clobber, thwack) or come into contact with, at some force, the inhabitant of the upper quarters for sleeping'

I am nicely cheered up now!!
