  • Thanks the problem is more the desire to play golf or go on the wii. He does most of it online. Maths is fine - any good sites you can recommend for p&Ethics (OCR) or chemistry 21st century triple science?

    Its a problem we all share, procrastination! I can't say about philosophy and ethics, but bbc bitesize is just fantastic. Also, Doc Brown's Chemistry Clinic... http://www.docbrown.info/index.htm this site is genius.

    Just realised that the new-to-me curtains are not wide enough for the window, d'oh!

    In the HHC I:

    Put up the picture
    OH put up the lampshade
    I demoulded the window frames (horrible metal ones that seem to attract the stuff)
    Cleaned the mirror on the wardrobe to get rid of the sticky tape residue

    Not much, but the spare room is taking shape now.
    Off to find the hoover in a minute to hoover the matress and bedroom before putting the bedding on the bed. Lampshade looks a lot more yellow than I'd remembered, so hope everything goes together ok.
