    Toots : Whats this list thing? I'm guessing it was made one of the weeks I wasn't keeping up with the thread :confused: How's it work? :confused:

    its just a me-thing nicki - I had so many things needing doing and was having a bad couple of weeks that I decided to make a list of my jobs and I get someone on the thread to pick a number for me - I cant move on until I have finished that job - sometimes jobs I have listed crop up in pipen's lists so that helps too. Its just my way of catching up - nothing to do with the thread!!!! you havent missed anything!!!

    I really need to do some NVQ work but I've just spent ages sitting here trying to work out my next OU course since I missed the sign up for the IT course I wanted to do and its not being presented again :o
    nicki - has the IT course started? If not as a registered OU student it might be worth while contacting them and asking if you can register late. I'm sure I have heard of it being done.

    Yes it started this month.:o I meant to sign up before Christmas but with everything going on I forgot. :o THIS is why I've bought a diary with a week to view and a notes section at the back :o

    Triker, I'm in. I think a 'not spending unless necessary' confession time and a 'wasted today' confession time will help as you sound like me at the mo.

    'not spending unless necessary' I could manage (can usually find a reason:rotfl:)
    but 'wasted today' :eek: that would be too shaming (which probably means I should do it)
  • No dusty - dont know anything about facebook so havent tried it - dont know where to start!!! did try the link from 1st page but it wouldnt let me do anything:confused: I would like to think I am one of your friends but I suspect you are still talking about facebook!!!!
    Well it can't be that difficult as I managed to get registered:rotfl:.
    Mind you I chose every 'private' setting I could. And I haven't gone near any of the extra things that seem to be available.

    I've done most of the ironing, leaving the last bit until tomorrow when more of today's wash will be dry.

    Just need to set the WM and then I'm heading up to bed. I finished my book this morning so think I'll just have a quick look at the paper.
