    plus theres no excuse in not being able to type, i type one handed, plus a mate of mine who can't use any hands types using a pencil in his mouth, so don't let him bully you.

    I'm not. I'm just mad at myself - the idea was I helped type his essay and he helped me with things like putting the shopping away, taking a load of stuff to the car and the tip. But now it's come to him actually doing that, it's the same as when we were together - 'it's your mess not mine so why should I', and 'your flat's so disgusting that its a way bigger job than doing my essay', yet in 3 ten minute bursts I've nearly finished sorting the living room! He's ok at exams, it's just essays he can't seem to bring himself to do. Like I said, we had a deal, but now he's breaking it and trying to make me feel guilty.

    At least standing up to him is practise for when my sister moves back and starts expecting me to run round after her!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I was wondering where confused was :confused: !!

    I'm sure it's not in my job description to remind my colleagues of things that they have said/ done and completely forgotten about themselves but... :mad:

  • Spud, that looks amazing! Are you sure you couldnt do it? What if a few of us/your friends got together to do it? The fee is a little shocking though :eek: But I guess they close the roads etc :D
