    Wish her good luck, I'm invigilating textiles this pm, does she have her colouring pencils?

    Thank you :A She has lots of pencils, all sharpened :D She's been designing and colouring in dresses since she could hold a pencil, so she's looking forward to this ;)

    How's your DS done? Is he finished now?

    I use the small brush attachment on my Dyson to suck stuff up. Also if you turn it up side down and tap it a bit all manner of stuff comes out from under the keys. Then, it's just a quick wipe with a slightly damp cloth (whilst the computer's off of course!)

    Gawd, I'm bored. I'm listing stuff and popping it on ebay. It is soooo tedious.... Still, to brighten my afternoon, I'm shortly off to Tesco...

    I hope it goes really well for her. DS has physics tomorrow and then chemistry next week.

    Off to work now. See you all later be good.
