    I've just got my design project to do now (designing a 10 storey building to deal with earthquakes), and my dissertation (which seems to grow every time I look at it).
    When we went to Enginuity, Ryan had a go at a little thing where you had to build a building that would stand up to an earthquake - it was on a board which you could move rapidly from side to side. It was only a kids game but he loved it, and managed to get to 4 storeys before it collapsed. He would love doing your project I think!

    Oooh, you could do a field trip to Enginuity!! :rotfl:

    Where is this Enginuity place? I've never heard of it.

    (If you say it's in Leeds then I'm going to be very embarassed.:o )

    Cat - hope everything goes well for you and your freind today.

    Snaggles, bathroom scales lie all the time, you probably just bought a particulary mean pair. :D
    :D Make a list of important things to do today. At the top, put 'eat chocolate'. Now, you'll get at least one thing done today. :D

    BTW - shows how far I've improved since joining here a drop in tax credits means a wee moan and adjusting the budget but beforehand there would have been tears, sleepless nights and major panic! thank you all for restoring my sanity!

    This place is a godsend isnt it!! :)

    It's in Shropshire I think - Ironbridge? Bunny will know for certain, because we went there with her and the Bunnykids.

    I'm getting all nostalgic now - I used to work for the company that designed this - we built and sold that one to Enginuity!
