To be a bit pathetic but I need MN to help me out here!

thefirstMrsDeVere · 02/05/2011 09:41

I know this is pathetic but I bet you there are a fair few who can dig what I am saying (man).

I really need to get some work done on my OU course. Its my first in many years, since Billie was dx.

I use the internet as a distraction and particularly MNs (yes really, how odd, bet no-one else does that!).

I sit down to read most nights and find myself on here. I dont want to dereg or anything mad. I just need a kick up the bum to break the cycle of MN/FB before study.

I know its weak and weedy but I admit it and thats the first step right?

Can I ask you to not allow me on here for TWO days? I reckon if I can go TWO days without MN it will show me that my world will not fall apart if I am not joining in with every AIBU. After that I should be able to manage to be more sensible. What do you think?

I want to stay because I love it here but I have got over reliant lately so need a cold turkey.

I reckon MNHQ put something in my tea when I am not looking.

RamekinSkywalker · 02/05/2011 09:45

Can you ask MN to suspend you for a week?

travellingwilbury · 02/05/2011 09:47

We could all just agree to ignore you Grin

Every time you say something on here I will just give you the Biscuit

Set an alarm, give yourself an hour's procrastinating, then a couple of hours working, then have another break and go back to it - that way at least you get bits of it done

That was Wifi by the way not the wireless.

I am not that old.

MrsDV! How's Carrot?

I for one will, everytime I 'see' you on here for the 2 days will shout 'WORK DAMMIT WOMAN'

But while you're here maybe a little look at AIBU, come on, you know you want too........

StatelyPoshBeartrothal · 02/05/2011 09:50

Shall we all have a 2 day MN break?
I could do with one too!
Then you wouldn't miss anything
Don't think that would make me too popular with MNHQ though

Bye lovey.

Can I just tell you that I namechanged once to talk about something sensitive and you were absolutely lovely to me. You said some things that have stayed with me to this day. You really helped me through a sad time.

Now go and do some work you slacker.

Grin
BelleDameSansMerci · 02/05/2011 09:59

Let my example be a lesson to you - I have now dropped out of two OU courses and am still paying for them... I found the motivation to read the course books instead of MN/FB impossible to find. I had no trouble reading the books I wanted to read, btw.

I'm now not even allowed to register for another course unless I can convince them that I will do it. Blush

So, I'll chase you off if I see you (although I like seeing you here). Smile
