    anyone else started already? I know you have pigpen :snow_grin

    Started??? Are you crazy? I'm almost done!!!!

    Been a downer of a day today, got a letter from the college doing my IT course, they have said instead of my course finishing in April 2010, its now finishing on the 18th December 2009, they are not renewing the lease for the building and have no funding to carry on, so im going to have to learn powerpoint, excel, publisher and access in less than 4 months to get my qualification.

    Whil that is REALLY poor service from the college.. it took me about a week

    to master excel and about 20 minutes to get powerpoint.. I can't see the others taking longer.. just go play with them they are really very very simple.. my 6 year old uses powerpoint at school better than the teacher lol.. and the children reglarly use pubisher.. I have every faith in your ability to master them before December.

    Morning all,
    Hope you are all ok.
    I finished yesterday's list, except for baking, which will add to today's list, which looks like this:
    1. [STRIKE]Change DS room bedding (cot and bed)[/STRIKE]
    2. [STRIKE]Wash dirty bedding[/STRIKE] and hang up
    3. Bake
    4. Knitting
    5. Decide on some decent main meals as lost cooking inspiration
    6. [STRIKE]Finances[/STRIKE]
    7. Emails
    8. Phone mum
    9. Wash upstairs bathroom mats and hang up
    10. Standard laundry- wash and hang up.
    Think that's all. Mum still in hospital so a bit concerned about that, although see seems ok in herself (but in pain!).
    Take care all
