    Caz I feel for you :).

    My DS got all my old OU stuff out of the loft yesterday (kept it in case I did a Masters :doh::rotfl:). I'm just about to move the wheelie bin to under the spare room window and chuck it straight in, so I'll chuck some for you :).

    Keep going - when I was saying that '6 years is a LONG time' someone told me 'yes it is, so you may as well have something to show for it at the end'. That stayed with me the whole time. You can do it :T.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Ha ha it was DD301 when I did it but don't suppose it's changed that much. When I was working my way through the courses, social psychology was the sexy one and cognitive was the one to be endured. But when it came to it, social was too waffly and I LOVED cognitive. If I'd had the money I'd have gone on to do a Masters in it.

    I have a few books here if you're interested, happy to send them to you:
    Phantoms in the Brain VS Ramachandran
    Kanzi The Ape at the Brink of the Human Mind
    Psychology The Science of Mental Life Miller
    How the Mind Works Pinker
    Going Inside McCrone

    Keep going :)

    Yep, that's pretty much how it's gone. Did social last year and loved it, esp the project. This year is hell in a handbasket. I really wish I'd done them the other way around. *rolleyes* currently working on the project proposal, then resi is in July which I'm really looking forward to. :D

    So today I have listed 21 items on eBay on their free listing weekend. Have been meaning to do this for months, but lost my mojo lol. I've also got a big bag of stuff which is going to a charity shop in town tomorrow morning.

    Bag of clothing is GONE! :D:D so glad to see the back of it. Did have a quicky look at what they had in but it was jam packed (at 10am on a Monday morning??) so I gave up.

    Had a lovely day with the kids today - went to Gym Club, then for lunch with my mum. Then we bought a new (very nice, very deep and fluffy and very expensive!) carpet for Lumpy's bedroom and brought it back to ours on her roof bars. That has now been fitted, and the boy is BACK IN HIS BEDROOM!! :j:j:T:T:j:j:T:T:j:j lol.

    I'm knackered, so am settling down with a hot chocolate and the next chapter of my module. Hope everyone is well :)

    I'm so angry right now :mad: :mad:

    One of our neighbours has cut a tree down that belongs to us without our permission. I'm absolutely fuming.

    Oh dear - I hope you get it sorted out. Did they not realise that it was your tree?
