    I read an article on procrastination on Facebook. There was a follow up article by the same guy (I found the follow up before the first one so had to read the first one first). I will try to find it and see if I can get it to you somehow. It described my life to a tee. Sounds a bit similar to what you describe. x

    I found it really quickly when I googled the phrase that I could remember from it (N.B. When googling "dark woods" scary pics of dark woods come up - I don't like woods at all, dark or otherwise. They give me the creeps).

    They are not as long as they first appear. There are pictures too (not of real dark woods thank goodness).

  • PS on Monday will look polished and professional, capable yet ambitious.

    Right now I look like Worzel Gummidge, after he's experienced a few hard years :eek: eg bitter divorce from Aunt Sally, the Crow Man turning to class A's and selling all the furniture and Lorraine Chase running off with the really evil scarecrow.

    I look a bit like that.

  • Evening you lovely Divas xxxx

    Tired Diva is I!! Talking like Yoda am I!

    Ohhh Thursdays are a killer. Uni all day, work all night. But feel good - productive day, ran through Monday's presentation with my tutor, he seemed impressed (he didn't seem it at all. He told me he was impressed. Accept the compliment, Skinty. You will live)

    So all I have to do is tidy it up and go for it! Work good tonight, working with some fab kids at the mo - they are really funny and stuck into our project, saying how much they're enjoying it.

    All's good!

    But I'm in bed now. Ohhhhhhhhhhh the joy of a nice early night.

    Night all xxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Alison moyet. Saw her earlier this year looking amazing and still with that lovely tone to her voice. Did you know she wrote her "in your diary" song when only 14 or 15? Have you got all your personal polishing materials ready for Sunday night / Monday morning?
