oops how lovely for you all four to be home together There really is nothing nicer than family snuggles. Perhaps that's part of my lack of motivation atm - I find it hard to get passionate about abstract notions when there's a living, growing person standing in front of me doing all this cool and occasionally destructive stuff.
pert bang an offer in for that house RIGHT NOW. It is beautiful, my ideal family home. Am totally, totally jealous that you can even have a sniff of owning it Mind you, your current place is lovely too. No wonder you always seem so on top of things.
cece you have the most fabulously shiny and lush looking hair, so hopefully a tiny thin spot will soon be repopulated. My hair seems to be sending out colonists to my chin [old gimmer emoticon]
Thank you all for humouring my stupid moans. I have emailed my supervisor to get some more ideas about how to use the criticisms positively. It's not even that I dispute most of what they've said - just hard to hear someone pick apart something you were quite proud of. And there are a couple of things that I think are bollocks, but the lead examiner is, to be blunt, a notorious bitch and I can't be arsed getting into a row with her over one or two marks.
I just feel like an idiot for taking this on, even though when I started life was completely different and I had no way of knowing that really I'm not cut out for academia. At least it has answered my questions on that score; once it's done, I can move on to the sort of writing I actually want to do.
Hope you're all having lovely evenings. Is anyone planning to watch Eurovision?
