Reach for the stars...

Been very slack again on the MSE front but good luck with the coursework Nic.. I have an assignment due on 31st Aug and haven't even read the book for it yet. Need to get my finger out as I've registered for two courses alongside each other in October... eek!

Have a fab time with MatyMoo and I'm up in Edinburgh again from 10th September... maybe me and MrS can pop along to see you some time in the week x

Bet you'd like to throw something heavy at me right about now wouldn't you....? Put it down dear, it'll never reach me from there!

Bless ya! Well done on completing another assignment AND for signing up for the VSO! :T

Told you you were good under pressure didn't I?

To be fair, been feeling very guilty for being so wicked so I thought I should tell you that I'm ploughing through the PPi, maybe even tackle the DLA next week.....how's that for guilt?

Anyhoo....don't forget to come up for air will you? Remember to eat...and sleep too! :eek:

Hope your great aunt is fully recovered too?

Butti...class? style? Was it the blackmail, psychological terrorism, bribery and manipulation that drew you to that conclusion? :rotfl:YOU ladies are the class acts my love but thanks for trying! :A

Excellent Psycho, if you're up on the 10th, you can pop over to Glasgow at, say, 6-7am in the morning and see me staggering over the finishing line of the walking marathon. :rotfl: Seriously though, let me know when you'll both be about and I'll see what I can do work wise.

SB*, do not tell me now that you would have sponsored me anyway! That will just further power the procrastination! (Psycho - I'm now telling myself my deadline is the same as yours! Mati, your safe! I doubt I'll have it all done by the time I head back to Glasgow on Thursday!)

And SB*, you're also safe: I can't throw for toffee so, if I'm aiming at you, you are perfectly safe! Any-one off to the left of you is probably in trouble though! :rotfl:

I do need the motivation, so blackmail away! I need to change tack with the studying I think! The assignment seems to be a mental block (you don't say!!!) and I'm faffing around in circles getting zilch down on paper. So I think I need to start the reading for the next module and get those five assessments out of the way.

That only leaves the two assignemnts. And there will be no way out. I will totally have backed myself into a corner and I seem to work well when I'm fighting my way out of corners!

So, you'll have the PPI and the DLA done by the 10th then SB*? Tell you what, if you do, I'll match your donation and add it to the cause!

Yesterday I was at the sea-side with my friend and her two boys. (I love Northumberland. I'd forgotten just how beautiful it is). However, when you have one boy in a cast in a wheelchair and another in a specialised walker, the sea-side, especially when there's lots of dunes to get to the beach, isn't the cleverest idea! Not our brightest moment!

So we bought a kite and found some grass instead. I think mummy and I had much more fun than small boys who don't have the patience (or mobility) for kite flying. However "Bob the spaceman" was in the air for a surprising amount of time given who his pilots were! (It's blinking sore on the arms you know!)

And tonight Granny and I are going out for dinner. So she will let me know how great aunt is. They were talking about sending her home yesterday but she hadn't had her test results back late Friday afternoon so I'd be surprised if they've let her home. She and her husband are both in their 90s and are continually surprised at finding each other in their home. They constantly shout at each other when the other is getting attention from a family member or nurse or any-one. It's kinda funny in a heart-breaking way! They are also the only people I know who have celebrated the 70th wedding anniversary! :eek: :A :eek:

RBS now sitting at £2,386.36. Impatiently waiting to next pay day to sort out my over zealous payments this month and get more money into it... it's so close to being under 2k, I can taste it!

Diversion tactics. Moi?

Off course my friend and her boys didn't stop off here for lunch on their way home from holibags.

Off course I didn't think, ooh it's a nice night I'll wash the car.

And naturally it wouldn't occur to me to weed the path up the side of the house and clear away the clutter that isn't even mine.

Obvioulsy I wouldn't call my aunt and take the doglets for a walk.

Procrastination. I don't even know what it means...

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

You are soooooo funny
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

So what excuse are you going to try on the Prof this time???????

niccatw

I shall tell the prof it wasn't me, it was my alter ego what hasn't done it!

And I shall find something that is even more important to do to make sure I do this stuff - as per the link MrsM shared! :eek:

:eek:
Three times last night I tried to reply to you and even resorting to copy and paste I still managed to lose the messages!! It was Sooooo long, I couldn't transfer it all over before MSE logged me back out so either the messages need to be shortened or I need to move faster!!!! Maybe I was trying to be too clever by inserting my paragraphs into your post so it made some kind of sense and not completely random but I give up! I ain't clever so do the best you can!!!!! (re #1084)

1...Have a smashing time when the mobsters invade, share an extra hug with each other from me when you manage to get together and will someone please take plasters for Nics blisters!

2...Nic I never said no such thing about sponsoring you anyway & NO of course I haven't edited any of my posts, whatever do you mean?:whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle:

3...Safe? I had a thought about this, (dangerous I know). Well you remember those stress ball boobies? Okay so it's a bit weird holding boobies in your hand with thoughts of your stressful supervisor on your mind but I thought if you were to pick them up by the nipple with a pair of pliers, picked a spot on the wall a little to the right of your lodgers head and then slammed it against the chosen spot on the wall for all it's worth, maybe you could deal with two of your lifes stresses at once, whadya think? Yes/No? Sorry if that seems too extreme or obsessive, it's this whole 2 for 1 thing, it's messing with my mind!!!!!

4... Okay I admit it, I wobbled over the blackmail thing for a moment but only because I imagined you sleep deprived and starving from the added pressure of the whole blackmail idea. Now I know you've been out flying kites and having 'fun' while I was feeling guilty we'd best get back to the original challenge!

6...:eek::eek::eek::eek:I don't want to play with you anymore, you play too rough you feisty little minx! I can tell you right now you're safe too! PPi yes DLA highly unlikely due to gathering reports etc.:cool: I wouldn't have taken the deal anyway, you're doing your bit already with the marathon walk, I'd sooner your money went towards you reaching for the stars!

Remind me never to go head to head with you again though because you completely psyched me out by the suggestion! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

7...fpnarrr..no sympathy, I thought you were studying!


8... Wait till Maty puts you in an arm lock on Thursday over uncompleted coursework, see how sore you'll be then!

9...70 yrs!!!! :eek: By choice or the result of divorce being so expensive? :rotfl: Perish the thought & you can't blame them for shouting, I'd want to scream! :eek:

Aaaw not really, it's very sweet. Put me in mind of The Notebook, sad and lovely all at the same time.

10... Go You..I hope it tastes as sweet as I imagine it will, you've worked so hard over the last year with this one and I'm totally thrilled for you. Nearly there honey but bloody well done on blitzing your way through it as fast as you are! :j:T:j:T

Hi Nic, how did I manage to miss your diary so far?

Good to hear you are hard at work, keep it up!

I would love to read from the beginning but at the moment I'm laughing too much at you and SB's banter!
