    Oooh where from Becky - I am looking for a new one?

    I got it from dabs.com - but any Acer aspire one should be reasonably cheap - they have ones with windows on amazon for £260ish (but I wanted linux and its cheaper too!)

    I love this cold crisp weather....I like layers..you can hide a lot under layers and a big scarf :D

    Just had a wander around town picking up the choccy bits for DD's stockings....got a couple of board games ordered that should arrive tomorrow...laptops should be arriving tomorrow too...and that's me done :D (well aside from the bits I'm making - but they've all been started...just need to finish them)

    Woohoo, just got my first essay for this course back and I got 72%! I was starting to think I'd done rubbish so I'm really pleased.

    YAY Ames! That's absolutely brilliant! (In uni that counts as a 1st, so I'd be pleased too!)

    Just did some more shopping, I haven't done any for months. Only got a coupla of DVDS, two 360 games, yummy smelling body scrub and body butter (wild cherry from The Body Shop), underwear, and three books (2 Harry Potter ones - one is 1st edition and I'm disgusted at it's condition, sun faded as it's probably been kept on a windowsill - contributed to it's price - 2 quid, and a fiver for all 3!)

    And now I'm watching Nightmare Before Christmas as I love LOVE that film

    Oh, and for you all wannabe bum-shrinkers, the best thing I've found is walking as much as is humanly possible. I've been walking pretty much everywhere I can since I was 11, and have tiny skinny legs with no fat on my calves, just huge muscles. And a tiny bum to boot

    I do it all because I'm scared.

    I think at the OU it's a 2:1, although they call them different grades of passes. It's a third year course in a subject I've not done before though so I'm very happy!
