    Thanks for your continued support on my drivel about the dissertation.
    Today's goal was another 500 words and I have smashed it, have just finished at 1020 with the total now being 4759 so I am well on the way to my word count (only another 1241 and I am half way).

    I am at work this afternoon so am going to stop and shower and have lunch etc.
    Not drivel at all.
    Please keep posting - like the flying it is helping to keep you on track
    I'm full of admiration. I enjoy the study bit, but hate the writing (so why am I contemplating an MA?)

    I've been trying to plan what we're doing over the next couple of days. It's awkward as I don't know how long it'll take to get from one place to another or how long we'll stay there or how long the kids' legs will last!

    Afternoon all!

    Had a lovely breakfast with LadyL, and I'm so pleased she like her pressie. I read Martin's email :money:yesterday, and it said that Starbucks were giving away a free espresso based drink to any customers who brought in an insulated mug today, so LadyL and I didn't really need an excuse, and I took in a spare one for her. We both had a free coffee, and chatted for ages, and then the girl who works there was very sweet, and at LadyL's request, gave us another free coffee each in aid of her birthday. lol :T

    Since I've been home, I've put a load of bedlinen in the washing machine, and opened all of the windows to air the place. I'm also drinking lots of water to make up for the coffee consumption.

    Luckily it has warmed up a bit here now, as it was a bit chilly this morning as the wind was cold, but now the sun is out, it should be a good washing day.

    I may go on a little walk later to burn off the fruit toast and copius amounts of ricecrispie cake that I ate yesterday. Feeling slightly guilty about the amount of it I ate. :o

    Well I'm off to find something for lunch, and then I'll be getting on with some lists.

    had hoped to get loads done today but am feeling really unwell. Have dosed myself up so am hoping that in an hour or so I'll be well enough to get some bits done
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.
