    Yikes :( What i didn't need was for the computer to crash and only save the original version of the assignment :( - not sure how although comp has a few problems and i can't afford to replace it - i do have save set to auto save pretty much every few mins as i can be quite speedy when typing... Not going to change an entire section now.

    Also didn't need to have an upset tum today either - actually this began last night hence a later start than i wanted today - but as i say i am used to it :cool::(

    Righto - enough glum faces on this post - popping in to commit to getting on with it :) It will get done today :) It will be submitted today :)

    If i don't pop back hope everyone has a nice evening and see you tomorrow :D

    Less than 4 hours to go. All references are done as is bibliography. I am slightly over 300 words over the allowed word count so a bit of editing is in order - i have yet another cuppa :coffee:

    I have polished the whole thing, re-read the question about 10 times, re-read 2 pieces of relevant secondary text. I will be glad when its tomorrow and i can just move on from this :o

    Feeling peckish too so might just get something to eat after first revision is complete :D

    Today has been an NSD, all food and drinks from stores :T Bag is nearly ready for tomorrow :cool: Decided to return a dress for a refund :T Ok first revision of assignment underway :cool:

    Revision 1 edited to 120 words over word count :cool:

    Sorry for the dull posts on my progress - posting on here makes me want to achieve the targets i set out - i should put titles on next time saying 'assignment info ignore' :D

    Checked banking and no money appeared sadly - not that i'm expecting anything much really but you know its nice to shuffle the money about and overpay :)

    That kind of thing is exactly why I've just started a diary! Its really difficult to do that on a challenge thread, for me anyway, feels like I'm monopolising it. But you can't monopolise your own diary :p Sorry I missed all this, I got caught up, but you're making magnificent progress on this, and if its not close to your heart, and you're not interested in it for itself then yes, all you need is pass :T:T:T
