Reading, researching and writing. Very little arithmetic!

So you put in identical amounts of time for things you found easy, as for the things you found hard?

Did that not strike you as strange?

I thought grade inflation was mainly affecting schools because they are being judged primarily on that. If employers start restricting jobs to first they will be shooting themselves in the foot.

The process has already begun. Watch it spread as it did for the A-levels and O-levels/GCSEs, so that the grade has to get better and better.

I think one person got a first on our course, one out of about 40!

Will that last forever? Or just until the debut of the 1st* ?

i think now that alot more people are having to do honours degrees there will need to be less stringent ways of working out their award, if too many people gets 3/4's etc then alot of people will decide it's noth worth their time and money studying for an honours

in other news, i gathered all my broken old gold jewelry and decided to see if i would get anything for it. i reckoned i wouldve been lucky to get £50 but was offered £220 so i'm gonna enjoy spending the £20 but keep the £200 for benidorm, it's kinda spurring me on to thinking about get rid of alot of other stuff that we no longer have any use for, i have a nail varnish box which cost me £70 odd i know i may only get £20 or so for it but i no longer use it ( shamefully i have too many nail warnishes for that holder now ...yikes)

i also have some tarot cards etc that could find a new home, and loads of other things, i feel like a clear out coming on, might try and have a wee challenge to see if i can sell enough things that i no longer have use for to pay my spending money for my holidays

Me neither Beanie:o just goes to show what a girlie El is :rotfl::rotfl:

Well done on the old jewellery:T:T

Girlie ... You swearing at me skinty lol

It's a manicure case thingy that people would use for keeping varnish remover etc in ... Very nice case btw ... Just now far too small for my needs ( sooooo embarrassed about that)

But I'm just thinking here I could sell a load of my colours that I no longer wear ( and never have done) and my fimo rods etc ( I don't quite understand why I like to see nice nails but I do ... Bizzare)

* goes and put on her walking boots and scruffy clothes* just so were totally clear here ladies ... I am NOT a girly girl, I didn't even brush my hair today ... Honest

beanielou

Can you give a wee linky to what its like?
May be interested on behalf of a friend for her daughter?

* has just googled fimo rods now* (too embarrassed to admit I'm still not entirely sure what one would do with them:o)

elantan

beanie have sent you a link via pm, didnt want to put it public as my name and phone number is on the ad

fimo rods ahhh the joy of add on's

you slice them very thin and then kinda glue them onto the nail, it gives them a 3d look ... very nice alot of faffing about and tbh i dont use them enough to warrant keeping them any longer so i will sell them. i could show you one day if you fancied?

skint_spice

ahhh got ya now was thinking they'd stick out but that's the idea...ahhh....:D yes, show me sometime!
