I have calmed down a bit!
Will deffo be getting the hard copy notes, went to find where I'd stopped reading and it took me about 5 minutes, the whole course is all on one Adobe page, it is hidiously long.
But have now had a proper read through the first assignments and I don't think it will be as much work as I thought, just need to get the proper equipment, got to wait till at next week before I can even order it though, need to make sure if we spend all that money we're going to have enough left to get through DS1's bday and eat for the of the rest of the month.
So the waiting still isn't over, I could start the second part of the first assignment now (drawing a scale plan and elevation of an example room they've provided), we've got A3 paper, a pencil and rular, but it would take me DAYS to do it without a drawing board, set square and scale rule, and it would just look a mess with rubbed out pencil marks all over it etc. Also first part is an, albeit small, essay on colour, the theories and practicalities, blah blah blah. Can't do that till I get some proper paper, we've got cheap crappy almost see through stuff that we buy for the kids to use, but want to do it properly!
And after all the build up of 'the poor postie' my friend rang, so I was talking to her, I saw the postie turn the corner, was watching him getting closer and closer, all the while trying to carry on a normal conversation with friend, he get's to the door, I do a very casual "Oh hang on a sec, postman's a-knocking" to friend, grab it off the postie with a very curtious "thank you" take it into the kitchen. Trying to open the envelope without ripping it all, friend's still gabbing in my ear, so I'm looking at a load of papers trying to read them whilst still conversing, my mob. went off (never usually works in the house, so just shows how it was all stacked against me) was DH texting to see if it was here, couldn't reply, read and talk, so ignored it DS2 came in singing "poo poo" so had to then change his bum, but was good because used it as excuse to get off phone (!), changed him, phone rings - DH, "Is it there yet?" Me , "Yes, but (repeat above)" DH "Shall I leave you to it?" Me "Yes please" LOL Bless him, rang me back an hour later
Think I'd have handled the feather boa and handcuffs scenario a bit better!
Tink, glad you got her some shoes, they sound like a great bargain! Bet she loved walking about outside, from what you've said, she deffo has the confidence for it!
Diege, glad your hair is swishified, must admit, it is one of the things I don't like about having long hair, when I have it done, it never really feels/looks any different to the last time I had it done, but, at the same time, I actually don't want it to look different, just miss that new hair feeling! Is that sneeky thanks to Gruff a 'thanks for the bruise' or 'thanks for making me decide to TTC'?
Hello to everyone else, did you know my stuff came?
