Do we have a lone parents full time student thread?

[stabbystabbykillkill]

I am a single parent, two DC's at home, 2 at uni themselves.

Going into 2nd year and starting to panic about how I'm going to juggle everything

Anyone else?

My first thought was Oh Fuck I'll never fit into my favourite suit

How shallow

That would be me too. you've got to look the part after all!

Do you wear glasses, I'd take mine off and stab the air with them whilst making my point. Or swing knowledgeably by the arm.

"I give it to you ladies and gentlemen of the jury...that I look damn hot and clever"

I have got glasses. I have uber-intelligent secretary dark ones as well.

I'm thinking chewing the end of them whilst thinking, stabbing the air, and then the hair swish moment at the end as I pull the grips out of my hair and it tumbles dramatically to my shoulders.

Good thought missM

Got 1000 words left to write on essay 2. Gah, my brain's packed up.

Time for Cadbury's chocolate fingers I think. To prop my bastard eyes open.

Good for you. I have jurisprudence today and I hate it. Spent all yesterday working on it, reading, taking notes. And I might as well have read gobbledeegook for all the good it did me.

Right got to throw the kids upstairs early. Turn the goggle box off, coffee on and get this sodding essay finished.
Then start the one due next fri. The hateful hateful swines.

I'm getting really old and intolerant. Today my eyebrow was twitching at the stream of students coming in after the lecture had started. Just the creak of the door had me huffing and puffing. Up to twenty five past and they were strolling in. (miserable old witch emoticon)

Are you me?? That totally irritates the fuck out of me. And they were talking all through my lecture today and I could hardly hear

I glare menacingly at them as they walk past.

And, and, they don't just sit down near the door. Oh no, they pissarse about looking for their mates and we all get a massive shadow of their head covering up the screen while they clump up the stairs.

Seethe!

DO NOT EVEN START ME ON THE TEXTING CONSTANTLY

RANT

Referencing is the work of the devil. Clearly.

I have the kids off on half term. Just had to go to DD2's harvest service where the alpha mummy church brigade ignored me. There is one lovely mum (who I think is a mnetter ) but the rest of them are just hard work. And obviously as an almost divorced woman I am after their husbands or something

Came home and have had to run around like a blue arsed fly because DD1 has decided to invite her friend's mum to come here and pick her up and the house was like a fucking bastard bomb site. Literally.

And I should be doing eu law and stuff for the jessup. Sigh.

Open a cupboard, launch all the shit in. Spray Mr Sheen about. I do this even when no one is coming round. I also have the Hoover casually in the corner, in a 'look at me I'm always cleaning way' then I go back to ignoring it.

Why do the smug marrieds do that. I was dropped from a few cliques(sp?) when I became single. I wouldn't mind but I didn't want to have sex with my own lump of a man never mind theirs

And by lump I mean cheating lying bastarding pigface just incase that wasn't clear.

Believe me, none of the men would even rate a 2nd look. Honestly. I am still toying with The Upgrade's idea of getting a bunch of his mates and turning up to every event with a different one

I just don't get the time to clean and even if I did have the time to be obsessive about cleaning I'd rather be doing something else

That's a great idea! DO IT! imagine the gossip!

To make it even better you'd have to knock about in heels and a little hat with a veil. Arf. The Gay Divorcee.

Fluffy, just keep singing this

in your head... or on the car cd player at full volume!

Oh ye gods I LOVE IT

In a lecture today I turned around to the two gossipers who'd been chatting non stop for 20 minutes and asked them to please shut up...

It worked! :o

Good for you! I swear I am going to do that next time it happens. I spent last week in a lecture with someone texting right behind my right ear.

Now, I go to university in the city which has what it bills as the biggest halloween party in Europe. Given that we had zombies/witches/beetlejuice in classes today, what's the chances of anyone other than me turning up tomorrow for an 11am lecture?

Just you tomorrow then Fluffy

Well done Keynesian I am a chicken and just glare over my glasses. And huff and puff like the big bad wolf.

I fucking give up every fucking time I start to do some work some wee shite knocks the door looking for trick or treat. They don't even say anything just hold out their bags/containers for the fucking sweets.

GRRRRRR

As an aside, my contract law book is by Cheshire, Fifoot and Furmston and I cannot take it seriously because I think it sounds like Harry Potter :D

I'm a miserable caaah and ignore the door. My two have been trick or treating that's enough Halloween for me. (mean)

DD2 has got a bad chest again, bark, bark, bark. Just at night though to add to my fetching eye bags. So haven't even finished this weeks essay yet as beyond nackered. Bless her she can't help it but shut up

Awh bless her hope she gets better soon.

I've given up and am sexting The Upgrade
