    Ended up on here because I need a moan and a cry, noone else to moan to, hope noone minds.

    Just sat in tears for the last hour, I can't do this assignment, I've tried and I just can't get it right, so upset tears streaming down my face as I wanted to just achieve something, there isn't a hope in hell I will get it handed in tomorrow as I just can't do it. Feel like such a failure, I know I'm being harsh on myself with all we've had to deal with lately but it's upset me so much failing at the last hurdle (final assignment)

    Sorry, I just needed to tell someone, I don't know why, I just want to scream............
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Tia - Those baskets look brilliant :T

    I wish I had the creativeness to think of something like that, would save me a fortune and yet be perfect for each person.

    Well done :T :T

    Evening all I have been cleaning my AGA with the new Ovenmate cleaner I brought from Lakeland - it is absolutely fab! No smell, paint on clear gel wait for it to go brown and wipe the gunk off. I have been wiping it off and reapplying new stuff and it is nearly all gone. Just going to do the last wiping now and any left can wait until next week.

    ((((HUGS)))) lil_me wish there was more practical help we could give, do you have a phone number for your tutor that you could call in the morning, surely the exceptional circumstances recently must allow you some leeway

    Hey, DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP :grouphug:

    Deep breaths, the more you panic the worse you will feel.

    OK, now, can you ask for an extention due to the circumstances i.e house ?

    I know you said that you didn't think that they would let you, but you don't know unless you try.

    If not, it's not the end of the world (I promise!), just feels like it.
    Can you do a re-take? you will already have a huge head start on the work and you may even be able to add things to it that to improve.

    Sending huge *hugs* and calming vibes

    I was wondering if that was any good.. you may have inspired me to buy a tub!! my oven door in minging..

    Congrats Sproggi! You must post pictures!

    AnW'smum, Oh, I have some stuff for shoe boxes too, as well as shoe boxes! Hoping MIL's church does a collection this year as i have no idea where to send them if they don't

    LilMe, like everyone else has said, ask for an extension. Take what you have done in, and explain that with everything that has been going on, you just got to a point where you had to leave it. You have what you have done to prove you have not been azzing around, so they should be fine. Take 5, have a bath and it may just come to you.

    I have photo'd, packaged (aint I clever), MARKED (even more clever!) 7 items for ebay! now hubby has came home, but he can just sod off till i get them listed.
