Becles i don't know where to start! I know i need to get cracking but i'm confusing myself by mixing the 2 courses, i think i would be better off spending 3 days on one course, 3 days on the other... But Amber's been going to bed late and tbh, by the time she goes my head isn't clear at all to be trying to get to grips with it. So like tonight, i give up and think i'll get a good nights sleep and try again... Please tell me it will all become clear!!

Because right now i'm thinking i've over-estimated myself and there's no chance i can do anything in the day because Amber doesn't really nap! It's becoming apparent that i can't just "read a few pages while the kettle boils" etc, i need to be sat down with all the course guides etc around me and concentrating. I'm hoping that's because i am completely brand new to studying at all, let alone the actual course. Sorry for the rant lol!

You need to work out which way works best for you with two courses. I found it easier to roughly follow the course calendar, but do a chunk of course one and get ahead, then do a chunk of course two, then back to course one. You need to be aware of when TMA's are due and make sure you focus on those. Other people can manage with a day on one, day on the other, and various other ways.

You do need to find time to sit down and study it rather than skim read while the kettle boils. Some of it is heavy going. Sometimes I read things and thought !!!!!!, and had to read it several times before I understood it

The estimated hours for each course are a good guide as to how many hours a week you need to be putting in. If you understand it quickly it may take less hours, but you may need more time if you struggle with it.

It would be good if you can get Amber napping or into bed earlier to give you some peaceful time to study.

Yay for Molly's steps :j

Pants night sleep here as my bowel was playing up. Got up and watched something on BBC3 about school proms and was shocked at how much parents spend on them. Most were spending a few hundered pounds on one evening. One spoiled brat had £3.5K spent on her dress, hair and make up and transport :eek: It's a stupid amount of money to spend.

Does anyone want my children? I've had nothing but lip off Aimee this morning, had to ask her to do everything 5 times... And it's not like it's unusual requests, just the same getting ready for school stuff we do EVERY DAY... And then while I'm dealing with that Caitlyn is just fetching everything out of the charity bag (3 times!) and pulling everthing she can find onto the floor, emptied the changing bag and poured her cup of water over the TV cupboard... It's not even 9am and I've had enough of today!

Swap you for a husband Krystal.

As long as he just sits where you put him, doesn't empty shelves and doesn't answer back it's a deal!

He's a bit mouthy but wouldn't bother himself to get up off his a** or empty shelves. Or do anything else for that matter.

I've just taken a shower, he was supposed to have cleaned in there after the drains-fixing man came the other day. There is nasty black stuff all over the bottom of the bath and the little stickies Molly sits on so she doesn't slip, all up the wall, all over Molly's washcloths and all over the shower curtain and he swears he didn't see any of it. No, because he wasn't f'n looking. He seems to have emptied a pan of water down the immediate area of the drain and assumed it was done. So I'm there, in my five minutes of peace, scrubbing the walls and can't get the bottom of the bath clean because my feet were also covered in it and every time I moved somewhere I'd cleaned got dirty. I came out and burst into tears I'm so angry and frustrated with his half-a**ed approach to cleanliness.

Glad it's almost sorted SM.

Yay Molly. Hugs SS. Their all useless.

I'm in work and have just realised that I have sent Joe to school with an empty lunch box!! I'm loosing it, really I am. I so need to get a grip. Need to go home and get it and take it to the school and look like a right numpty again as I forgot both his lunch box and school bag last week too. Good job work, home and school in a 5 minute radius.
