    Cat - while I do agree with you up to a point - why on earth do they live so far away?? If students can afford to live nearby so can lecturers and the students are paying their wages by being there so the lecturer should at least put a note on the webpage or something...

    They used to cancel stuff at my uni all the time - but then we just used to hold the seminars or rehersal without them :p

    Students share houses and bills, we rent and have no council tax. I say this as one.

    Moring all, just! Worst night sleep in my life ever :o Anyways... Had weigh-in and duely got updated pics for the CD thread. Then we went to a little village in town that is crammed with charity shops. Brought five new books for less than £5 still trying to find little women though, I think thats an ebay job. We also went in to a haberdashery shop and Mum found the hugest sealed tin ever. Its 5" across at the top and 6" tall, luckly I haven't started my new one for this year so this will replace hat, plus Mum brought it :T

    As for the snow, none here yet :T I am hoping it holds out until Friday because I have just brought train tickets for Bath. I dont think they will refund due to bad weather :rolleyes:

    Nothing planned for today now although the dog needs a walk. Also we need to take him to the groomers on the way to get his nails clipped :o

    Have a fab day all :beer:
  • Oooh er - it means it now. Time to fill coal bucket me thinks!

    Beanie - BE CAREFUL! x
