    Good luck Fay with the assignment and work.

    I had a pair of black DM when I was at 6th form college when I was age 16, they lasted for ages and were in fashion for students back then, just before the rave scene kicked off with higher heels and boots after the trainer phase.

    Just had a shock when I realised it was 20 years ago OMG!!!!:eek::eek::eek:

    All of a sudden I feel middle aged and not young anymore!

    Anyway, good luck with the work Fay hope it goes well and switch off MSE if you need to lose the distractions!

    You can do it Fay - work in short bursts of half hour at a time - then get up, walk around for ten minutes, get a drink or some fresh air and then back to it for another thirty minutes...set a timer to keep track if you need to. You'll get through and I bet the finished thing will be great. :T:T

    Hi All, very tired. last few weeks catching up with me. Was so tired last night I nearly hit a bollard in the petrol station! Ended up in tears this morning at my career meeting (how embarassing) and I just have no motivation at all. Job hunt going VERY slowly. Although was advised that probably now isn't the best time for me to be looking as my head isn't in it! How right they are.


    Sorry just needed a rant.
