FW, yes, I will indeed be going to graduation (my third one :rotfl:) - not missing the chance to ponce about in a bright red robe for the day and a silly hat! :rotfl:

Mentioning the hat - have you looked at a portrait of Thomas More recently? I know the question sound strange but he is wearing the same model hat that PhDs wear as part of the robing. I have wondered for some time now what is the connection (if any).

So he is FW! :rotfl: Sadly, we don't get to wear a hat like that - I wish we did! :rotfl: Our PhD graduation hat is just an ordinary mortar board but velvet coated. Pah!

Aww, don't you get a floppy hat with a tassle? Our Uni's is orange and blue. Vile!

Which uni did you do yours at? What colours? Uni of Sussex is a white fur one with black spots

Isn't the hats thing an old Oxford/Cambridge rivalry thing - I am sure I read that somewhere.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:WHAT! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: You don't get a floppy velvet hat? Quite frankly, it's one of the only reasons I would consider doing one! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Hello Everyone I coming out of lurkdom to ask if one of you lovely ladies might be able to point me in the right direction?

Would any of you know where I get an online copy of The Secret? I have spent the morning trawling thru' web and have managed to find everything but a full version of the book :cool: Any help you can offer would be much appreciated

Congratulations Cheery Daff, I'm very pleased for you :T

I love reading this thread, it's so inspiring and great to see how everyone is progressing!

Bye for now.

Afternoon ladies and gents

Nothing to report, had mindee all moring so nothing been done apart from lots of playing and playgroup. Got to clean bathroom today and put the vac round without fail. Had yet another early start this morning - 5am courtesy of DD So will try and get job done before collapsing on the sofa with a hot chocolate. Ended up eating for England yesterday due to being tired so I can't do that again otherwise any weightloss will soon be diminished!!!

Fantasia - You'll be fine with your homecheck, we had to have one for the cat (OK not the same size animal I know but still ) and it was fine, actually she said to me it was to check really we were who we said we were and where we lived. Anyway I know you'll be fine, I can imagine re-homing a dog the size of a Dane means that sometimes new homes aren't as easy to come by so I doubt they'll be turning potential new owners down. Couldn't see the pic though for some reason. Can you copy and paste it from FB into a post?

Sending you all lots of positive vibes, have great afternoons one and all

To be honest it was one of the only reasons I considered it in the first place too :rotfl: :rotfl: Most disappointing! :rotfl:
