5 years MFW - Lets get cracking...

Do neither....I'm ignoring it both and watching X factor!

HelenDaveKids

Too late, done both, mostly before and whilst watching X factor. Speed iron and writing. Have a big pile for postie but will leave that job till day off on Tuesday. I'm going to buy some bags of sweets for work rather than do cards, its easier and yummier.

Have put in more washing, have 2 loads of towels to get through yet but at least no ironing .

What do you think of X factor tonight Sleepygirl? I think the first round they all did average but seems to be picking up on song 2. Sam really is excellent but Nicky is so cute you could squeeze his cheeks. Don't like RC TBH, so they can be off tomorrow,

Have just been passed a glass of wine so it must be after nine.

I wish I had your vavavoom H. I have practically spent the entire day staring at words trying to assemble them into my assignment (due to be emailed to tutor on Monday :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: <

there really aren't enough of these to express how :eek: I currently feel:( <

or these)

With any luck, the universe will implant the entire assignment in my head tonight whilst I'm sleeping, and I will be able to download it Matrix-stylee tomorrow morning

HelenDaveKids

Bless you Np, I have every sympathy. Whole house cleaned whilst should be writing assignment, frequently could be found here when should be studying.
Have been asked by colleagues a lot this week if I enjoyed doing masters and if I will do PhD. I genuinely struggled all the way through and felt constantly like Id never get to the end and I Never want to study again, I appreciate this may pass but not to undertake that, thank you very much. (however I am not academic at all)

What are you studying NP?


Big debate at mo, I genuinely do not even remotely want to attend a ceremony however Dave says I should and work colleagues concur. I feel to fat and old and would rather die than attend. Thoughts?
My degree picture has been in the loft for about 5 years at least (I put it there) and there is no way on this earth that a fatty picture of me will be going on any wall in this lifetime. I hate listening to people go on, I hate wasting money, I hate having my photo taken. Seems very clear cut to me... Why would going through it be of any benefit at all? No. After verbalising even more convinced that simply aint happening,

Ah, it must have been your USB lead you left at work. Won't ask where you attach it :eek:.

Well when you put it like that :rotfl:. I was so proud/amazed when I got mine I did want to go . I think as I studied with the OU I wanted to feel like a 'real' student for the day. I'd feel the same if I'd done a Masters I'm sure - and you don't HAVE to have the picture with the plastic tube if you don't want it .

HelenDaveKids

Theres time yet, Dave very keen but we'll see. My Masters was OU too (as was my degree). I preferred it as it didn't require childcare plus could get ahead if wanted to so then have holidays off without feeling behind or guilty.

Did all my chores this am, as has Dave and kids. So house all nice and tidy.

Have had a couple of hours walking round the village posting all the local cards, good job done. Also dropped a batch of cards to Daves mums as she will be visiting her relatives to deliver hers and I long ago learnt that if I get in quick enough, she'll do mine as well. Have a similar pile ready for my parents as well as some that need to go to post office.

Just getting warm and having a brew (as was nice but chilly out) before start tea, will do a double portion meal to save cooking tomorrow.

Might do tree next week.. Will ask kids first. Dave does go slightly crazy with outdoor lights and I think he plans to do that next weekend.

I'm about 3 posts behind.....been on a 10 hour shift today!!

I'm loving Sam Bailey...she is amazing and her Whitney Houston song was great.....really concerned about Luke's hair..I just want to make him have a wash!!:rotfl:

Tamera's Rhianna was awful though.....am really hoping that Rough Copy and Sam are in the final although as long as my beloved Mr Barlow sings I'm happy!!:T

HelenDaveKids

I agree Sleepygirl. Tamera is gone... Yay. Im still rooting for Nicky and Sam.

Bought DD3 a Samsung ACE PAYG phone for Christmas plus myself a Hwewww thing (smart phone, with min, text and internet included), at £7.50 a month on contract (again will form my Christmas box from DH), did searches and think I got the best poss deals (thanks MSE Martin!) and obviously once happy with purchase I then did through TCB for a nice free bonus of £36.75, also used mm CC so should also get points. Was Flash sale which ends today. Feeling very MSE!

HelenDaveKids

Day off, stayed in bed till 9, few jobs and ironing board was in position for 0959 for bbc1 to come on. So now all ironing done.
Seeing friend shortly.
Last night quite expensive, petrol and kids swimming reenrolment paid for. Nothing exciting there but still quite costly.
