    Bunny that is well cool. I am in awe of your technical ability, it would be all gobblygook to me.

    Washing going ok, one lot done and hung, now another load on. Three children and 2 adults sure can generate a lot of dirty clothes.
  • I wish we'd discovered Skype years earlier-it would have saved a fortune in mobile bills!!!!Just don't need it now...boo.....
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
  • I've tried to download it loads of times and never could, this time I managed to dead quick!

    Made my day-that's EASILY £20 a month saved on calls to Canada. :)

    Afternoon. I've just been to an OU lecture, about the body in politics, talking about marginalised groups and traditional views. I didn't spend too much time on my soapbox!

    I hate referencing too. My essay the other night took three and a half hours, then the referencing was another two and a half. The OU's a lot more flexible than it was at 'real' uni, where you could lose marks just for not putting a full stop at the end of each item in the bibliography. But I hate having to put references in the text instead of as footnotes, it takes so much more time because if you do it as you go it eats into your word count.

    Anyway...

    The rest of the afternoon will be alternating between housework and being on here I think.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
