hello..hello.. is anyone there?
I have opted to stay in last night and tonight to try to catch up on some work as I am going away for a week on Monday (yipeee). But instead of doing what I am supposed to be doing I have 1) smoked a ciggy, 2) cleaned the kitchen, 3) put washing on 4) eated some gazpacho 5) looked on the internet at jobs I can't /won't apply for as I am too busy doing a PhD 6) lurked on the forum.
The thing is - I really really need to do this work because when I get back I have 2 conferences back to back and errrrr I haven't exactly written the presentation, as such.

There - just needed to confess ......

pea, if you finish the work, you will be able to go away with a peace of mind. So, start on your work now and come back to forum tomorrow evening and tell us that you've finished the work Good luck with all, and great that you are going away.

Thanks for the little pep-talk 404. You're absolutely right.
Outcast - sorry it was a very infantile joke. Google "Outkast" [note the K] if you have an idle moment.

Right I am off ......

I am stuck in too.. went shopping after work today and spent far too much so I am a bit skint to go out tonight now.. D'oh!

But on a good note I got a letter from the BBSRC today confirming my finding/studentship for definate.. Woohoo

Well done Tricky, great news!

{{{{{{{ HUGS }}}}}}} for everyone

Well done Tricky, great news.

Dear 404

I worked very hard in the end, on Saturday night, yesterday and all morning today and basically I have done what I needed to & you were right, 'coz I feel so much more relazed about going on holiday for a week. [stupid really - getting sressed about going away?! I absolutely never did when I worked in an office at a regular job} Anyway thank you for responding to my post - it really helped. I am off to do some last minute packing and on to the airport in just a few hours. Hurrah!
