    I need to read my printed out copy of my current uni work versus the version before I cut 1k of words from it last night. I'm quite tired so I'm not sure doing it tonight is a great idea but I really like the idea of taking it in on Friday. That means I need to:

    * complete wordcount reduction
    * sense check what I've written
    * proof read/spell check and do layout (i.e. titles not at bottom of page etc).

    I could hand it in on Tues but fancy getting this done this week and dropped off on Friday. My tutor thinks I can do it, I just need to get a burst on (and be sure it is ready).

    Decisions, decisions. I've decided it is too late to start word trimming but will look at my two paper versions in bed/over lunch tomorrow.

    tell them Buffy. they won't know what they are doing to you until you tell them.

    I never see them these days.. And we have had "conversations" before but it all just upsets Mum:( They know full well, they can't have me muscling in on their territory.

    That's why I have ended up with a bit of the garden that is "mine" - the last time we "talked" that was the resolution.

    It makes me so mad cos I get half way through something and they come along :mad:

    but I have to just let it go, they certainly aren't sitting at home fuming about me.

    I'm going to be travelling down to Bristol for a gig on July 17th, I was thinking I'd stay an extra night there and maybe a night in Bath after that, if I can find youth hostels, then back up hom on about the 20th. Sorry Tenmah, it would have been great to meet you too.

    Wonder if Sally could meet us then too, doesn't she live somewhere round there?

    I will need to find somewhere to stay (depending on what we do, as I could drive to and from Bath in a day), but would love to meet up if that is OK?

    Have done and they get all the credit.

    And I know rationally that all that matters is the garden gets finished but it dear GOD it annoys me that they just get to waltz in and be perfect.

    When they did the seating area they didn't take ANY rubble and crap to the dump they just brushed it off and left it across the side of the shed it was me who bagged up and put it in the car eight months later when not being able to get in the shed became a big problem and Mum had to drive us to the dump about 6 times to get rid of it.

    but they get all the credit. Poor Mum just must feel pulled in all directions.
