    Ashamed to say, haven't done a single more word yet! Have day off tomorrow for funeral and then wednesday booked off for assignment writing. Thought about incentives... a £1 into OP pot for every mark over 40 (pass rate) maybe for my last 3 assignments? (obvious be money down if fail as would have pay to redo!)

    Worked long day fri and sat. Today have cleaned, ironed, batch cooked, took up DH trousers and sorted all the photos out onto a new usb pen which have been going to do for weeks. Also DD1 had extra rehearsal so did my turn (DH does return trip) of just over an hour round trip, did a detour to FF and HB as no margarine or cheese for tomorrows sarnies.

    Thanks Ed. I feel as though only ever see aunts and cousins etc these days is at funerals. Oldest bros daughter is getting married next year so be nice to see family in a "pleasant" environment. One particular Uncle (my favourite) I always "sit" with and its become a theme sadly.

    Today day off again to work on the dreaded assignment (yes I know, Im here!!) 535 words to go.... Happy with my intro, methody bit and conclusion, its the main body thats rubbish (and the biggest bit!)
    Started off good with "mango cubes" to aid my study power but am now on Haribo giant strawberries. ....

    Nipped shopping last night, to buy food but also birthday bits for dd3 who will be 11 next week. Also bought her quite a few dvd's from amazon with my free vouchers. Bought her abba wii game for just over £3 last week and now she's been invited to a bowling party so nipped on to purchase another one last night, but didnt have enough on my gift card so thought will wait till today as SB owe me a £5, anyway lo and behold now have my £5 so game bought for "free". Kerching... Just need to buy a teeny bit more frm HB and then sorted.

    washing pegged out, TBH just desperate to leave the dining table and the blah blah blah im writing. Thank goodness work tomorrow...

    Have allocated a day off in week for forth coming months as determined that if I fail it will not be due to lack of effort on my part (it will be because Im thick!:o)

    3778 words in total completed so theoretically (10%either way) could send in if necessary however still a bit rough in the middle, time for school run and tea needs making so same time next week?

    Quite like to decorate house when finished course...
