nicki hope you manage to get the TMA done
:rotfl::rotfl: I did of sorts, the last question was about rewriting something which I haven't a clue how to go about so I have a feeling this will be the crash of this course. As long as I get over 40% I don't mind... so its submitted with a few minutes to spare this timeNow I just need to concentrate on my NVQ work and I should be okay by the end of the month....either that or completely round the bend! :rotfl::rotfl:
To keep this on topic : I've done the towels, decluttered some random items out of the fridge into my tummy and now I'm quitting for the night:wave:
