no need to be flustered I'm sure you'll be great

Just had a look at it, so many options...there goes the last chance for getting anything productive done today

ooh eyemaze...curious about that one, not heard of it, another source of procrastination yey! I'll add it to the growiwing list, alonside of brainbashers, numerous cartoon websites et al

lol, that should be soul, tho even a soue would do

nope no better today, not a soue in site Just spent an incredibly boring hour photocopying and now staring at screen hoping revsions will magically appear

for a twenty minute presentation around 3500 should do it, best advice, practice, run through it aloud as many times as poss, on the day, deep breath and read slowly, pace yourself and you'll be fine

I don't know either there's a wild party I didn't know about somewhere or more likely they couldn't be bothered to come into the attic on a day when the gales make it like a wind tunnel! Just dozed off at my desk in a remarkably uncomfortable position, trying to revive myself with a cup of tea strong enough to stand a teaspon up in

Here I sit all alone in the drafty attic offices the department has generously assigned the postgrads, with no one to cheer me up or warm me up... trying to do the revsions on this chapter, and I have a case of brain freeze...please help! Distractions welcome! x

Did ok this year as well, alltho one slightly creepy gift! Because of my PhD subject one gift off my mum was a foot tall figure of a witch, complete with broomstick and pumpkin!! Currently sitting on top of the TV, gonna take it into the office tomorrow, should really unnerve one of the guys in my office, but then he winged when myself and a friend wanted a poster of Daniel Craig up, so serves him right!

Season's best to everyone!

Awww its quite cute

hey, hope ur ok now, you have my sympathy as I had a similar experience last week, was in the house by myself, couldn't breathe properly, really scary... so hope your feeling much better now!

A plea for help...what do people do when they've had a really, really sh*t day. I mean so bad you just want to curl up under the quilt and never emerge again :-( The slice of apple pie I've had has just made me feel guilty... maybe a mince pie they're more seasonal after all, but I'm in danger of entering bah humbug territory

ditto ...seasons greeting to all! may there be a plentiful supply of potatoes, sprouts, parsnips, pies, booze and turkey for everyone

ours is tonight, getting nothing done today in between comparing outfits with the others, extended coffee break, general gossiping...not good day for work
