Embarrassing but there's always positives. At least you didn't drown in custard!

Got to love the Open Uni ZTD. My next essay is all to do with sweatshops and how European manufactures distance themselves from the realities of them!

Is it too early to reach for the chocolate?

Option E - Is there still a direct train from you here Lou? You could get here on that, and we can train the rest of the way together, avoiding Dorset

Its £37 return just to Manchester so adding on the 2nd leg of the journey will make it a bit too expensive Spud:o

I reckon petrol there and back will cost me £40

Morning all.

Buffy that's pants that you didn't get a good snog. Fingers crossed in the next three weekends you'll get a bit of action!

Ames - it's your flat. If you want your duvet in the front room then soo be it!

Elfen - hope you get to do what you want to do.

I really should crack on with my essay - which isn't due for over a month but I can't find the motivation! It's all do with proximity and distance and migration! I can feel the eyelids drooping!

All companies do that - you don't see M&S "Only the superbest sooperdooper melt in your orifice finest slices of meat" arranging tours of their glorious abattoir, whether it's UK based or not...

Hopefully it wont be too stressful.

Ames,
It's your flat. If he's going to critcise maybe you should tell him where to shove it. My dad came round just after I'd told him I was being treated for depression and criticised my house, my life, my job. I screamed 'This is not helping' at him. Has been much better since then, once he got his head round the idea that expressing my views was good and didn't mean I was becoming more unstable.

Don't know what I'm saying.....probably the messages I got from my stress course.

Let go of your causes of stress;
1. The need for approval - rooted in childhood (!!) we still spend a lot of time doing things that we believe will lead others to like us. He might not like your duvet in the middle of the room but that's his problem.
2. The need for control

B (wish I could turn this italic thing off!)
