I STILL want to be mortgage free - 2011!

Just keep your nerve and pay careful attention to what TL says, you'll be fine.

Cheers Grateful. I'm only struggling because it's a different subject to what I'm used to. I find marking science really quite straight forward, but this is so much more fiddily on the words that you can accept. I'm not a very percise person so it's good practice for me I reckon. Not to mention should improve my teaching of the subject big time when I start it in September full time.

I will keep plodding on. Going for a break at the minute for a trip to the loo and gab a brew...then I'll crack on again. Although I know the team leader is going to ring either when I'm on the loo or wait until Dr Who! I'll just ignore her if she does that! Ha ha ha.

Been unblocked from the first one now. But still blocked out of the other question because nobody knows how to answer it - including my team leader. Apparently all her markers have been blocked and the guidance doesn't make sense. So she's sending that to someone senior and won't unblock us all until she can give us a proper list of do's and don'ts. LOL. Made me feel SOOOOOOOOO much better. Yey me! :j

2 questions done upto 63%...if I can get them both to 100% before bed I will be a very happy lady! That would be 3 out of 15 questions done then!

At least you know its not you, its them!

Obviously...nothing negative is ever EVER me!!!

2/15 done!! Woo hoo!
Debating finishing the one that is at 63% if I can - hope I don't get stopped on it again though. That would be bad - I'd be permenantly blocked then. Oophs.

Kinda just want to sack it off and have some vino. But should probably crack on really.

EDIT: Up to 77% but stopped to watch John Bishop. My brain is leeking out my ears!

I managed to finish the 3rd question this morning. Woo hoo. 3/15 done. So now I need to get 75% of another done and I'm ahead of my Tuesday deadline...woo hoo. However to be ahead of the next one I need to have done 10 questions by Tues 7th. So really I need to get up to at least 9 questions done by Thursday because I'm going away Friday to Sunday and I REALLY don't wanna take anything with me.

OH MY....I'm so over marking already! Ha ha. It says I'll get paid in a staggered way - wonder if that means I'll get something after Tuesday then? I was going to use the marking money to pay off some of the credit card. But am now wondering whether just to put it into the moving pot. Hmmm....

I need to update all my totals as well because they are all out of date...hmmm....may as well wait till the first now when it all changes again anyway.
