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.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

Good morning
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 hopefulMy 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 CBAI 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) shorter0 -

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:
(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:0 -
