    Hi Judi, 1,500 words gone, vanished somewhere in my computers memory!!

    Luckily it's not due until Feb, but I want to make a head start as I'm looking to do another Open Uni Course in May. Two courses and working full time - glutten for punishment!!

    I found my paper drafts last night, so off to start from scratch with lots of coffee and chocolate.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Cx

    Ahhhhh - but at least you have a paper draft! I only save mine to computer! lesson learned me thinks!

    If it's any consolation I am doing a Prof Doc work full time and have 4 kids! - so I know how tough it is!!!

    Just looking at offers for pizza. It's either £1 or you can buy 2 for £2.

    Generous... ;)

    Hello

    I really hope Beanie gets to go out today poor soul! We've had more snow down here though...

    Z, I've seen a few offers like that. It's very strange but I think they are counting on folk being in a hurry and not noticing...not that difficult to work out you would have thought...
    Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000
    Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

    Mortgage balance: £34,965

    Money making challenge £78/400

    My hubby is not happy today, he's had a very painful elbow for a while now, he went to the doc's yesterday and he had a steroid paste injected straight into the tendon in his elbow.:eek:
    It's been incredibly painful since and his arm has puffed up :(
    He's had no sleep at all and can hardly move it. He can't drive for 48 hours and keeps wandering around like a spare part.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
