    Morning all

    Been for a walk with my friend and to the corner shop. Too much to do again and not enough hours in the day. Need to pop out and do some errands in town now and make DS3's pack lunch to drop in on the way.

    Flying may be minimal again.

    Good morning :D

    I have loaded the DW, walked the dog, transferred a credit card balance, sorted the post & loaded the WM. I was hoping to hang it out, but it is not looking too hopeful :( My roof still isn't fixed & they are forecasting rain all afternoon :eek: (Rain? What's that??!) The garden needs it, but I don't :mad:

    I need to crack on with the lists, but have a serious case of CBA :o I am hungry & want chocolate!! I am having an Options Hot Choc in the hope the craving subsides, but I am hungry!! Maybe a banana would help :)

    I will update my lists later when they are (hopefully) shorter :D

    Arrrrrrrrrrggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Just logged on to OU site to check email and got a message from tutor asking about a TMA which I submitted on the 17th (and got a received message) Now panicking (OK I can send it again so not that big a deal, but I was expecting it back to see her comments)
    And breathe :rotfl:
    Panic over - just had email from tutor. The email she intended for one student got sent to whole group - she has been inundated with forwarded copies of 'receipt' emails. Don't you just love IT :mad:

    (Of course if she had started with "Hi so-and-so" instead of just launching into the message we might have realised what had happened)

    Anyway it's amazing how much tidying/flinging you can do while trying to keep occupied. :rotfl:

    me thinks she may have lost the plotto entirely!!

    I don't know whether to laugh at her stupidity or be furious at her lack of interest in how I am..

    I need help to get out of bed I don't see anyone rushing to assist me!!!
