Hello to the new fly lady that piggers said that I bite to. It's not true...i'm lovely and friendly unlike that pigpen. She rants, she shouts, she's mean and she has fleas xx:D

I've just read back over the posts - hello mrsmortenharket - welcome to the madhouse as organised by pigpen. She does shout a lot but most of us tend to ignore her. Just smile and nod when she's talking and then do the opposite of what she tells us to do....that's what she tends to do anyway. Hope you've managed level 1 xx

Look at moving up here.. the rent is about £400 a month for a 4-5 bedroomed house! I was looking at a 5 bedroomed house for sale at £90k the other day!

Where is "up here"? That rent is half what we are paying now, and £90k for a 5 bed house?! Blimey. You'd be paying at least £270,000 for a house that big here.

Just finishing my coffee, then going to make another one to take with me while I wait for DS to come out of school (I chain-drink coffee :rotfl:- decaff though or I'd twitch all day:rotfl:)

Nicki - If I remember this correctly, don't quote me!!, they send you something to sign if you register on the phone. I've not studied with the OU for two years though so i'm sure one of the current OU people will tell you if that's right. Well done on registering - are you excited? xx

Well thats the problem, the paperwork for me to sign turned up today and had to be returned by tomorrow! Think I will run off a covering letter now saying I did ring anf register on the phone but sending paperwork just to be safe and send it 1st class. Can't do any harm can it?

Yeah. She puts up the list, tells us off if we don't do much, then sits around chucking dog biscuits at the ones who find favour :rotfl:. Not that I get any.

You know we love you really Pigpen and we wouldn't be doing anything if you weren't around to keep us motivated.

Sounds like the best thing to do. And if you told them you only got the paperwork today then they will understand why it can't arrive on the day they say. If you send it 1st it might get there tomorrow.

Justamum - we have a round table with 4 legs and I want to get a pedestal to change the legs as there are 5 of us. I saw one in I**A so I need to draw a circle to match the base to see if I will still be able to push the chairs in.

Mudbath - I'd love your sons beaver sweatshirt I'll pm you when I've done the school run., thanks

OU I decided yesterday that I thinK I want to study for something. I never went to uni but I do have A levels. Am I going to be too late for September? We have a local uni but I wonder if OU would suit me better, I have no idea what I want to study.
