I don't know.......part of me feels that I should stretch myself as it's been *fun* working my little grey cells a bit, the rest of me thinks s*d it, I would only need a C.

Go for the higher paper of course! In for a penny and all that

I guess the question is - you suggest that you are slightly lazy would you therfore pur off doing reviosn if you did the lower paper as you would be seeing it as the easier option? Does that make sense....

It reminds me of a study that looked at Diet Coke V Ful Fat Coke - it turned out those that drank the Ful Fat Coke were more healthy/less over weight as that was the treat they allowed themselves where as those on the Diet Coke said well I can have that piece of chocolate cake as well...not quite sure if that relates to this but hopefully you can see what I'm getting at that by going for the harder option may be more benficial.

Scottishlas - that sounds very true about possibly slacking off if I do the foundation as I would perceive it as ! I think I'm going to schedule in study time a couple of nights this week and see how confident I feel by Sunday night and then decide then.

What if you drink full fat coke and eat cake?

Good plan Kitkins. For my two pennyworth I think you would feel better going for A and stretching yourself - you'll know you have to work harder:eek:

Just phoned Mum - had a rough night but feeling bit better.

Now correct me if I am wrong ............... but????

Am I not supposed to be sitting here wringing my hands and weeping that DS2 is off to playgroup?? Instead I am truly amazed at how much I have got done i the 2 hours since he was dropped off.

Shopping - done
Post office - done
Library - done (but they let me off with the fines)
Ordered cheap contacts online
Washing MAchine on with last of washing
Put plea on freecyle for timber and seeds for DS1's garden
Made DS2 an apron for his playdough play etc - one for here and one for playgroup now.
Chickpeas cooked for hummus
Dough for pitta in the BM
Kitchen Floor mopped
Bathroom cleaned
Video mountain in process of being rewound and reboxed
DS1 happy with maths and writing work - got a DVD for later

Conclusion - mornings are a productive time, so no more housework. Set my alarm for 30 minutes earlier so my chores can be done BEFORE taking DS2 to playgroup - then have the 2.5 hours doing something productive that willearn our family money instead.

So much easier to think without a little person around

............... but you know I love him don't you??

MG: Glad to see you back and to hear the news about your Mum is encouraging. Please make time for YOU. TKE IT A DAY AT A TIME AND FOR GOODNESS SAKE - BREATHE.

Lecture over........

Look on the freebie websites, particularly BBC's Dig In. I have had free veggie seeds from there for 2 years now and they've been really good. Is there anything in particular that DS1 needs for his garden?

OMG...I'm tired just reading that - I have to admit I am very much a morning perosn.

I love the feeling of sitting down at lunch and knowing all my jobs are done I can do what I want in the afternoon - shame I can't do that at work!
