    Hurray for flexible plans that suit everyone! I'm glad to hear you might well be kipping with a mate, Cheery - kipping in the van in December in the north of Scotland sounded a bit ....... ambitious, lets say :)

    Hey, we're hard nuts, you know KC :D And it would have involved plenty of duvets and hot water bottles and woolly hats :rotfl: Have slept in the old van in the snow before, with ice on the inside of the roof :eek: Cosy once you got snuggled in :D And this van is actually a car, so the walls have carpet on them - the old one was literally just a sheet of metal :rotfl:

    Anyway, PhD PhD PhD today - need to get chapter 6 finished, chapter 7 rewritten, and chapter 8 started :eek: Also could do with popping to the shops, and doing a bit of washing and hoovering. So the plan is...

    * 2 hours of PhD
    * pop to shops and lunch
    * 2 hours of PhD
    * washing/tidying bedroom/hoovering
    * 2 hours of PhD
    * sort clothes for work tomorrow, run through presentation, cook a proper tea and have an early night!

    Let's see how we get on...

    Gosh it's hard going today! I've sat here for my alloted 2 hours, and managed to get one section finished - I wanted to be at the end of the chapter! :eek:

    Mind you, I only have 4 pages of this chapter left to rewrite, so shouldn't take too long :o

    But first, stopping for some lunch and a little pop to the shops in the snow :D
  • Enjoy your walk!

  • Its called life!

    I'm training the hens - so they'll behave when you're here - :)

    We are still getting 6 eggs a day - so you never know there might be some lovely eggs here for you when you're in charge of the girls!

    I just love this business of training the hens - you don't have a video function on that camera of yours, do you, Pippi, so you could put something up on youtube? I'll pm you my link if you pm me yours :rotfl:
