    Hi Cazzie... long time no speak... hope everything's ok in your world.

    Hey MRN :cool: don't worry I've not abandoned you all! Taking a bit of time out while I finish this damn OU course.

    Chapter 11 notated. Currently half way through Chapter 12. Then have chapters 9 and 13-16 to read and notate. Then chapters 3, 5 and 6 to revise, as well as these ones I'm doing now. And I've two weeks left. :doh::naughty::(

    Mum has the sprogs today so that I can get some work done cuz she's an :A

    I actually just popped on to say, I bought a bundle of card crafting stuff on a fb group, and it arrived today and WOW :eek::eek: there's masses of the stuff!! So, I think I'm going to set myself a challenge. I've a set of 8 really posh handmade christmas cards which I bought for like 50p in the sales last year, but other than those I am going to try to make all the christmas cards that we send out this year. I'm monumentally crap at sending out christmas cards. I have not ever managed to send out all the cards that I wanted to, and usually they are not on time either. So this will be a big deal. Make a list of folk we want to send cards to, choose who will have the ones I bought in January, then make the rest. Plus two baby cards for the babies due to be born sometime in the next 6 weeks, plus *counting......* 6 birthday cards. I can do that, right?! :o

    In other news, I've started a HE blog, and Giraffe seems to be spending slightly less time naked than usual. Maybe the cold is getting to her after all? :rotfl: client #1 still hasn't had her baby. Hoping bump does not decide to arrive during exam week. I think she is also hoping the same - her bump is massive! Think she's fed up of waiting now. :o

    hope everyone is well :) services will resume as normal in a couple of weeks ;) :beer:

    Ugh. Lovely letter this morning when we got back from our walk - mortgage is going up from £499.95 to £589.61 :eek: :(

    That's the end of our fix, and an increase in the SVR.

    *sigh*

    Exam was on the afternoon of the 18th :) and actually, I think it's gone ok. Not great, but not awful. There were good questions on topics I had actually revised, so it depends on whether I evaluated sufficiently. Thanks to mnemonics I remembered the most researchers I have ever remembered!

    Feeling a bit deflated now. Definitely need some time to chill - after burning out earlier on this year I need a break.

    Thankyou for the luck and well wishes guys :)
