Hope your exam went ok PP?

Nothing spent here this week, so far. I managed to spend hardly anything on our annual christmas dinner and been too tired to bother doing much.

I think it went ok, I managed to answer all the questions in the time, I know some people didn't have time to complete the last question so that must be a good sign. Unfortunately I have to wait until Feb to find out the results :mad:

Psycho is it cold at your end aswell? I must say I don't want to do much in this weather.

I have been having real trouble trying to sign in these last few days... takes me about 3 attempts?

It's not quite as as cold as over the border, but it's been hovering between 0 and -5 down here. No snow or ice at the moment, but it's been really cold in our flat as we don't have central heating, we have 3 radiators that we plug in and move around with us. It's better now the windows have been replaced as they were really draughty and causing damp.

Fingers crossed you get the result you want I get my result for my OU exam on 17th December - answered two questions ok and the third was total waffle but I only need 40% to pass so I hope I managed it!

We are doing the radiator shuffle at the moment but with only one heater. Not looking forward to the electricity bill as they cost a fortune.

Good luck for the OU exam. What are you studying?

I know, it's going to be a nasty electric bill this month!

The exam was for childhood, I'm just finishing a photography short course and also in the middle of a psychology course - I am a hardcore procrastinator though!

Me too I spent much more time avoiding studying than i do studying! I usually end up cleaning at least that has some benefits

I have just been woken to the sound of running water from the kitchen I am so excited, how sad is that?

Thanks, it happened about half an hour ago, I was like a simpleton smiling with glee at water coming out of the kitchen tap.:D

I hope you enojy your night out, where are you off to?

Mine with work is at a casino which I think could be dangerous but I have never been before. Think I might leave the cards at home and just take cash so I don't lose the shirt off my back:rotfl:

Pp remember to just walk away while you are ahead! I have never been but I know I'd get carried away!

Glad your pipes are running again... Hope it doesn't get that bad again although it's looking very cold and snowy around Edinburgh airport! Brrrrrr....
