Am shattered! We put our (huge 8 man 8m x 5m + porch) tent up at the weekend to dry and clean it. Have taken it down tonight and have been mopping yucky under groundsheet - too dark now to finish, so rest will have to wait until morning now, Tent all away, though
Also need to wash pegs tomorrow and vacuum and fold the tent carpet
Not much off lists done since earlierNo more tonight - too tired and achy to even think about ironing!

optimistic-mummy I'm doing OU study, about to start DSE212 again (interrupted from last year) - I didn't do DSE141 as I did year/level 1 at brick uni but happy to help if I can if you want to pm me essay title etc.
I find if you look at the TMA guidance notes, and copy&paste these into a draft essay plan, then write what you need to do in answer/explanation for each point in the guidance notes, then go back to the relevant sections in the chapter and start to fill in the answers, you can build up your essay bit by bit. I do some work then save as version 1, then do some more, save as version 2, etc etc so I can go back a stage and re-do if I need to.
Basic structure:
INTRO
what is the question asking
define any terms
say how you will answer it
MAIN
answer the question by
giving both sides/differing opinions
giving references to support what you have written
CONCLUSION
what you have done in the essay
Pls do pm me if you need even if late as i'll be up for a while. Also cut off time says midday but you have til midnight.

Did a HHC in the kitchen. TD wiped, sink cleaned, hob wiped and a few things washed by hand, as well as making a start on the list. Cat's dishes and mat cleaned, as well as floor in front of it. Towels folded and put away.
Everyone fed and kitchen tidied afterwards. Took DS1 to friend down the road to have his signature witnessed. Ironing is stacked up, ready for DH tomorrow night.
I still have a few things to sort before tomorrow, but DS2's clothes are ready (DS1 is taking him to friends before work and I'll collect him). Just relaxing with a small whiskey and dry ginger before bed.

I don't want to go back to work!!:eek:
Please can I stay at home if I promise to be a good flylady?
and me?
Congrats Ionafan
and todays question is
Who was woken up by the neighbours goingto work (because the window was open) and thought 'gosh they're up early' then checked her alarm clock to see IT WAS GONE 8 .. the 7:30 alarm didn't go off because the idiot had set it for 7:30 pm
No prize - well not unless someone wants staff discount at Premier Inn:rotfl:as I either work there or have, apparently 4 active AEs at least...
Some people!
Flying? DW emptied, refilled and on again.
PS The proverbial didn't hit the fan because it was a you-know-what day. Just in case any idiots follow me over from another thread (I'm not saying what I REALLY do - because I'd have to kill you;))
Oh I've had some good news - exOH has got a job so fingers crossed for child support - because a £5 a week goes nowhere.:oDon't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
