I'm half way though one essay, got another to do on the weekend (great fun again!). Going to start about 8ish tonight.

Anyone joining me for word counting!

I am. Think we were on a similar thread last weekend! Are you still rewriting your lost essay? I will be working until the early hours as DH and DD despatched to Grandma's. Two big mugs of filter coffee to get me started. I shall join!!

If it makes you feel any better,Purplemoon, I bet I have more words to write! jofeb04 your trauma stayed in my mind!
Torn between staying on here for motivational purposes and switching off the broadband in order to actually write anything!

Purplemoon · 11/04/2008 19:00

Me too.. maybe I should take the advice of a wise one and get a ban until all my work is done.

( I don't think I could bear it though!)

peasholme · 11/04/2008 19:04

They can only ban you from posting though, not lurking, surely? When I am very unproductive I couldn't even manage to type anything, but could still manage to lurk!

lol. I'm on 800words - so about half way though. It is the one I am rewriting though, so it is flowing pretty well. Only problem is I am ignoring the dc

Oh, I hadn't thought of that (about the lurking)

You have my utmost sympathy jofe, I recently lost a huge chunk of my dissertation.

Lazylou · 11/04/2008 19:17

I will be studying tonight once DD is in bed but for now, I'm thinking about what I need to do .

fairylights · 11/04/2008 19:26

i am! here i am...studying...?!
trying to prepare tutorials and then start revising (getting palpitations just thinking about the revision). Yikes.
Peasholme - i often manage to kill threads off, i am beginning to think of it as an art form

The park at twenty to eight?! I have thrown mine into bed.. and they're not even very little! (7 and 9) Can't be doing with them after 7 I find!

I need to do some reading before I can start my essay.. you know.. so I have some shit er, essay, to churn out!!

What are we all writing about?

Mine's, er.. something about youth.. and wellbeing.. and media hype.. (ish)

So, I've done nothing

OP posts:
ChocolateRockingHorse · 11/04/2008 21:21

Me neither. I've run a bath. Will get into it shortly. I've drunk a glass of wine and I've re-read some old threads in my old name.

So techinically, not nothing but i certianly have Nothing To Submit.

Will have another glass of wine so I don't care

peasholme · 11/04/2008 21:34

I switched off the internet
I have rewritten a third of a chapter
and drank more than a third of a bottle of wine. Ahem.

OK, it's 22.35 and here I am on here to do at least a significant part of my essay tonight (I have done nothing yet apart from a deranged "essay plan" of sorts )

Am freaking out a little because it's due on Wednesday and apart from tomorrow afternoon(and "tonight") I have no spare time, what with the kids being off!

Please please give me some supportive vibes; I think I have it in me to make this a quite good essay but I hate feeling this rushed, I'm not feeling that well (just a cold/cough but feel crappy) and am, as always, knackered. Would like to be going to my bed now instead of embarking on an essay! Wish it was all done as I type this.. or that I'd at least broken the back of it!

Why do we do this?! Oh yes, I remember, in my case it's to get the hell out of this "benefit scum" situation I'm in! (I call myself this when I'm running out of steam like tonight.. nothing changes if nothing changes!)

Keep me awake Mners.. I will keep coming back for little breaks
