Morning all. DH set his alarm clock for later when he came back to bed with Izzy this morning (he got up with her for the first time ever!) It hasn't gone off yet, and we would normally be taking him to the bus by now. I assume he is getting a later one than normal today!

Becles if you come on, I just wanted to say hugs to you and hope that things with the uni decision are going OK, I've been thinking of you. I know from my work how huge it is for a student to feel like they have to give up their course at any point, and I really feel for you.
Been talking to the uni support team and one of my tutors. I can't have any extensions on the 30 point course I started in November as there is no extension allowed on the last assignment or the final exam. I can't delay the two resit exams either.
However if I get really stuck, I can delay the assignments on the course that has just started, then play catch up in April when I've got the other exams out of the way. That's the tutor I've been speaking to and he's happy to do that, and he's going to talk to me more at tutorial tomorrow.
Gave Mam a list of key dates and she understands my workload and said she will have the bairns as much as she can. Gave Craig a list too, but he just went "oh ok" and didn't discuss it.
Will see how I can manage and try and get it done. It would be a shame if I had to give up or delay things as I want to finish in Oct. Results would be in mid-Dec and my Mam's 60th is on the 19th and I'd really like to annouce passing by signing my name with BA Hons after it in her birthday card. That thought has kept me going for a long time.Here I go again on my own....0 -
Oh Becles, I didn't realise how close you are to the end - please don't give up now. Just one more big push and with a bit of support you can do it. I wish I was closer so I could help you with stuff
Would you be able to tell your OH specific things he can do around those dates? "So I gave you that list of key dates, well it would help me a lot if you'd put the kids to bed the week before so I can get the work done a little bit faster and then we can all [do this important fun family thing] as well"?Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76

Wow Becles you are soooo close, I am glad you are getting some advice and help with completing it. Keep slogging away and you will get there just think of the long break you can have afterwards:D
OMG I was so exhausted last night, I signed off from here and went straight to bed I even forgot to take my socks off, just lay down in bed and that's it.....I don't remember a thing else! I must have pretty much passed out:eek:Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,

Morning!
Becles- that sounds positive about your course. Your tutor sounds really supportive which makes such a difference. Which course is it that you're doing?
Mel- yay for good sleeps.
Weezly- does your 4am abscence mean a better sleep last night?
