    Thanks Keiss, I'll keep an eye out! Trying to live off what we already have (well, apart from 2pts of milk and a piece of beef to buy tomorrow) so I'll peruse the reduced section when I next get to T*sco/L*dl! It will probably be fairly soon, Mr L likes his meat with supper... although I suspect if I cooked amazing veggie food he wouldn't mind too much, but I can't say I'm that good!

    Morning Pippi. Hope you enjoyed the harry potter fest too. Remember take the revision in small steps. Ok you have until Tuesday (is that to hand it back?) so that would be 3 days if you have to hand it back = 48 pages. If you allow 8 hours per day that = 6 pages per hour which is 1.5 pages every 15 minutes. You can so do that!!! I havent added breaks in there by the way that is 8 solid hours but you can add your own breaks in when you are ready, just allow 8 hours and treat it like a days paid work. If you have to leave the dishes then so be it. But dont forget to take Peedie for a little walk now and then.

    Greenval - good lord! Hope everything is okay.

    Pippi - sweetie, take care - cheri's post is *really* good - pacing; its long hours, but its doable (especially if you don't do the dishes!). And take that little walk every now and then.

    Cheri's right - that's a good strategy. And I'm betting some of those pages won't have any changes on at all. Set the timer, do 15 minutes and get done what you can. You'll get there, I promise! xxxx

    Thank you chaps - I've made a cake - for the kids - I don't own responsibility for the washing up - but I do for food and loo cleaning.

    Therefore I've cleaned the loos and cooked a cake whilst hen feeding and got colour slop on my hair - pigtails today I think are in order. They can eat cake and I'll do real food on wednesday! (I will feed them more than cake)

    still not had a cuppa.

    The reassuring thing is that my head of dept - said he 'enjoyed' ENJOYED (I thought he was having a laugh) my lit review and found it very interesting. (!!)

    Ok coffeee now - computer stuff ready

    Cheery and L thank you! I'll mouse bite all the way............
    The other one doesn't get the tree up the mountain is the same as growing here thing- but hey ho - if HOD does then I'm happy.

    It has to be a VERY good sign if the person marking it enjoys it! Well done :D

    New coriander 'embryos' planted and I await their peeping up from the soil! Going to start looking for sad plants needing rescuing from supermarkets too as I like this recue idea :)
