Hi!

I am getting the feeling we are all setting unrealistic aims for the day!!!!!!!!! Anyway hope everyone else managed to meet their aims and that you haven't had to stay up like me in order to get them done!!!!
Anyway, finally signing off, but think i need to re-set my daily goals so i am not having to work flat out all day just to meet them!
Anyway while it is fresh in my head my aims for tomorrow are:

Start at 9.30 (ish)

Work on section 1.4 and 1.5, chapter 1.
I will see how i go and try not to beat myself up if i don't get it all done. In truth if i can get all of 1.3 done any thing of 1.4 will be an added bonus!
Fingers crossed!!
Anyway see you all tomorrow!

Hi lara,

Hope you enjoyed your Sunday lunch. I think that is lovely, a real family time. I think your brother is right! 8 am is a good compromise!!!!!!
Hope you have had a good day today and that you enjoyed watching the DvD.
I have not had a bad day, just finished a last tub of icecream!! Have also just finished chapter 7!! Have sent it to my sup via email so least it has gone! I am sure it can be improved but at least it is something and it is the best i can do which is all i can hope for!

Hi!
Lara: Hope your day is going well. Just think it's another start to a fresh week and we can all get lots done this week.

As for me, had a good catch up last night with some friends and am now ploughing through chapter 7 with some ABBA songs in the background!!
Am slowly getting there, but lots still to do so am now going to get back to it!
Hope your chapter 3 is coming along nicely and that you are having a good day.

Am I the only one working on a Saturday??

I have just messed up my cup of tea!! The phone rang, and the teabag was left in the cup! It now tastes over stewed and disgusting!!! Oh well had better make another one!! I need my caffeine!! Had a slow day today, only doing 2 hours work but am hoping for a better day tomorrow! Hope everyone else's Saturday is going a lot better!!

PS Apparently, they are making 3 more terminator films with Christian Bale playing John Connor! I think we should have a part in the film, we could be running from the terminators who could be dressed up as the people from senate house!!!! What do you think!!!!!!!

Hope everything is going well for you today, just think we are all really getting somewhere. I am trying to look back a bit. Try to remember the state of our thesis say 4 months ago!! 4 months ago we had a lot less done so we are all really making progress!! Thinking about that is keeping me going at the minute!!
Anyway, good luck with your work today and have a lovely evening and will check in tomorrow with my aims, need to get the chapter finished tomorrow (at least in rough to hand in for some feedback!!!)
Have a great day!!!

How is your day going? Hope you are getting your aims done, but again don't worry if you don't meet them all. You are working on something and that is brilliant!!
I haven't quite met all my aims today and will need to spent tomorrow getting chapter 7 finished but i am going to try not to worry too much as i have a couple of friends arriving in an hour so am going to try and have a good evening. Still a bit worried though i have left myself loads to do tomorrow, but will try really hard to get it all done, although i can see it being a long day tomorrow!!!!
My fault for arranging a night out with friends!! Still, like we say tomorrow is another day!!!!

Hi Lara!
Thanks for your brilliant messages and hope you day is going well. My computer has been playing up and i keep losing my internet connection, hence the late clocking in!!!!!!!!!
Today have printed off chapter 7 and am currently re-drafting it! I tend to just write anything down to start with, rubbish or not and then try to re-write it!!! Really hard going though! Have only managed 2 hours so then just spent half an hour writing my plan for next week! I need to sort out chapter 1 starting on Monday and this will be a mammoth task i think so thought i had better get some sort of plan together as to how to tackle it!!!

PS You really cheered me up with what you said about my infection strains!!!! Brilliant! I agree, it is like that film with Dustin Hoffman and the monkey "Outbreak!!!!!!" What with that and the terminator films, we are doing quite well!! We now need to think of a film to link your work to!!!!!!!
Anyway, hope you have had a good day today, and hope you are going to have a good weekend.
Angie81, Sorry to hear your sup is not about but it is great you have sent the email, it is finished down and is great to tick this off. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Celemai: Hope you enjoy the wedding and hope the builders are a lot more quiet.
