    Evening all

    I've realised how much more I could achieve if I didn't spend almost 3 hours a day commuting! I know I've said it before but it struck me again tonight as I got in at 5.30pm and after an easier day (and a glass of wine after the event!) was more chilled and less tired and by 7pm had cooked, washed up, done tomorrow's lunches, S&S'd the kitchen and did some other bits off the list (including the manky cupboard!) and did some hoovering.... plus I've caught up with a friend on the phone.

    Off to find my list now and to catch up on here. DH doing half a practice exam so I'm tiptoing around. Mr T coming between 8-10pm.

    Miss Higgerty - I could hug you! I started at 12 and didn't stop until 2pm. Thanks to you I've just completed my smaller assignment of 1000 words and I'm really pleased with it. I've now done both assignments and just have to do a one page evaluation for each of the 12 course dates then I've FINISHED that diploma. I am GOING TO FINISH IT BEFORE I GO TO BED!!!! Thanks again xx

    Dusty - DD did a rather large fart:rotfl: (she'll kill me if she finds out I wrote that):D and felt much better so I sent her in. Not only that but my DS is in school....no-one's been sent home yet!!!!!!

    Flying bit - by finishing my studying i'll be able to file all my notes and get rid of the big crate in the corner of the living room!!!

    My aim is to do two evaluations before pick up time. Off I go :Txx

    Well done Mudbath and I'm so pleased you got the piece done! I got on quite well myself - did till 1:00pm, then another 30 mins from 2:00... so thanks for this....

    ...but then my phone rang... it was my Mum on an apoplectic rant about my two sisters (and Christmas :eek:, and what they have and haven't done, and have and haven't said about each other, about my Mum and also about ME :eek: ) and....

    3 HOURS LATER :eek::eek::eek:
    (you think I am kidding but I am not)

    she finally rang off somewhat pacified leaving me a jibbering wreck.....:o

    So I haven't finished, and will have to get back on with stuff on Friday which is my next study day.


    I was holding the phone for so long in my left hand, doing little jobs with my right hand, that I realised it was quite numb, white and cold when I finally put the phone down! DD shrieked and gave it a good massage/pummelling :rotfl:

    omigosh.

    Mine's a large one, if you're pouring something tonight......
