Morning all,

I've been at my desk since 8:30 this morning, but haven't done anything! I think it's because I haven't got mytomatoes on the go, and am busy after 3pm so seem to think I don't need to do anything today. But I must!

Goal 1- read info from 3 sources
Goal 2- sort folder out
Goal 3- scan through books got out yesterday to see if they are all useful
Goal 4- edit notes about original points

Phew, writing done!

Morning batfink, my race against time was also due to meeting sup! Hope you get everything sorted for your meeting.

Off to get ready for uni now!

Morning anyone who is about.

I have a race against time this morning. I need to leave for uni by 11:30am, so that gives me around 90 minutes to finish writing a draft of the writing i've been working on. Not sure whether this is possible, but I need it to be!

Goal 1- WRITE WRITE WRITE!

I've just found out that I've got a meeting with my sup tomorrow, so I'm going to have to do some work today. So my goals are:

Goal 1- plan remaining 2 sections to write
Goal 2- Plan for meeting with sup, any questions I have thought of
Goal 3- Think about how to approach participants
Goal 4- sort forms to take to uni tomorrow

Well doen Star-Shaped!

I have also been productive and wrote 1500 words even with distractions! I've got a few things to sort out but I might do a bit of thinking about approaching participants later.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

You're not alone! I also hate working at weekends, especially when it's so quiet on here!

Goals 1 and 2 are done.

Goal 3- finish section I'm writing now before a late lunch. Not sure how possible this will actually be, seeing as my other half is home from work and is sat behind me watching Friends whilst crunching his crisps! I'm hoping he'll go upstairs on his xbox soon!

Morning all.

I didn't do anything yesterday because of the shock of everything that had happened, and I was literally exhausted!

I also don't think I'll get much done today because my fiance will be home from work at 11:30, and I can never concentrate when he's about! So goals for this morning are:

Goal 1- read everything written
Goal - get some writing done before other half gets home.

Good luck all!

Hi Star-Shaped, I'm here!

I would have been here earlier but I've had the police here all morning for one reason or another- really annoys me when bad things happen to good people!

Anyway, my head is all over the place so I don't think there's much chance of doing any writing today, so my first few goals are;

- read over everything written so far
- sort definition
- plan avenues to go down to approach participants

Hope your work is going okay today Star-Shaped!

Sneaks and Teek- keep plodding along, you'll get there!

Teek/batfink, there is so much illness going round at the moment it's unbelievable! Not aa day goes by without someone on my facebook announcing to the world how poorly they are! I was majorly ill for 12 days just before Christmas with a stomach bug, I couldn't move off the sofa and lost half a stone in a week- good for the waistline but not for my health!

Anyway, my headache has gone (thank you paracetomol and ibuprofen), so I'm going to carry on writing.

Goal 1 is gone

Goal 2 is nearly done, so that needs to be finished now

Goal 3- do intro for next section before lunch

I've woken up with a big fat headache, not good when I intended to do writing. I've dosed myself up on tablets though and I'm feeling a bit better, so I'll attempt to do one section of writing and then see how I feel.

Goal 1- re-read everything written so far
Goal 2- write key section 2

There is never a 'right' time to have a baby, life will always get in the way. Although I'm completely committed to my PhD, I am firmly focused on ensuring that it will not take over my life.

Maybe it's because you're early 20's, and you've got your whole life ahead of you to have children etc.

I'm 22 and have no children, but I am getting married in 4 months. I've had a few people telling me that I should wait until after my PhD, but why should I? I want to get married to my lovely fiance as soon as possible, and doing a PhD will not get in the way of that.

If it is what people want, doing a PhD should not deter them from having a baby. It is simply another thing to consider, just like doing a PhD and planning a wedding/having an illness/working part-time etc.

I'm really struggling today. I think I was expecting another amazing day of writing like yesterday, but it's just not happening! I was hoping to write 3 key sections today, but I'm still plodding along with key point 1 (and I only seem to be able to concentrate on writing until 2pm!) But I'm going to try and get key point 1 done, then key point 3 which is only short, and will probably leave key point 2 until tomorrow. Grr!

Morning all.

I'm writing again today and hoping to get another section written, so I best get going.

Goal 1- read over eveyrthign written yesterday.
Goal 2- write key point 1

Just good old Tetley here! I've never tasted green tea, don't think i want to either!

You forget about your cup of tea brewing in the kitchen :-s that's twice today!
