Bumpity bump!

The induction was good. But now the scary stuff starts! It's distance learning so I have to be disciplined! And I think we all know my procrastination skills are way too good for discipline (Put my first thing on ebay last night! How long has that taken me!!!!!).

And because I was ill last year, they deferred my place so this is the second time I started it. I need to do it justice. And I want to do it well because it's the second year programme that I really want to do!

So right now I'm in the middle of a complete bomb-site of a bedroom trying to sort it out and clean it up so I actually have some space for reading and studying!

In realitiy that means I'm making copious amounts of tea, taking wee tantrums at the chaos and logging in here to check nothing has changed in the last wee bit! :rotfl:

And still here, by the looks of it, nicca..... go on.... sort your room out... NOW .....:D:D:D

You heard what Spoon said NOW Nicca

Nicca, what course are you doing? My latest OU course started today, I'm terrible at motivation too. So I'm going to go into town on the alternate mondays when I don't have my writing group, and go to my drum lesson a couple of hours early and find a cafe. Then I can't be distracted by MSE/Facebook games/books/sleep...

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I'm not always here, honest. My music is through the computer so I just leave the internet running. I wondered if my light would stay green while I was idle (online!!!!). I guess that answers that!

I'm trying to do the 15 minute bursts thing! Except I'm not timing it so it doesn't always work :rotfl::rotfl:

Is that 15 minutes to do something, or 15 minutes to think about doing something, nicca?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It's a bit of a convoluted title! Adults with learning disabilities who have significant and complex needs.

Probably not everybodies cup of tea . It's broken down into 4 modules and I have three months to complete each module. But that's 5 assessments and a casestudy. :eek:

So I think I may have to copy you Ames and find me somewhre that isn't home and isn't work! But a cafe will really mess up my NSDs

Half my wardrobe is crammed with ebay stuff. The other half with my stuff. There's still loads lying around that I need to figure out what to do with but I can see my bedroom is actually bigger than I thought it was! :rotfl:

Thinking obviously! The bone fide professor yesterday told us there was 150 notional hours associated with each module in the course. He actually said notional hours also meant the time spent making cups of tea and thinking about stuff.

So I thought I'd take that approach to life. :rotfl::rotfl:

Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

What is a Troll?
A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made. If you should get such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Abuse” icon, as shown below:

Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the abuse team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

It is testament to the work that Martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time, knowledge and experience freely to others; without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of their debt crisis


PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT
