I did exactly the same thing with the scissors - cutting and pasting. It did work - eventually. There were always a few paragraphs that didn't quite fit. But I did learn to let go of some sentences that just sounded good, but were rewritten several times!

My plan this week is to try and follow the plan I made last week!

Hear what you are saying about the banks. They'll be different once we write "Dr" on the forms. Well, if i ever get to write it! Feeling like the laziest student in the world at the moment. I'm cringing everytime i look at my laptop - trying not to make eye contact!!! Will i really finish this? i can't even commit to a final submission date. I have one set by the uni of course but I really should be able to finish a few months before. I've decided I'd like to submit by June and can do if I write. But even I know that this deadline is artifical as I have until September officially. Bluntly, i want to finish, but can't be bothered!!

wow, the powers of this forum. I was just commenting about banks now I've admitted "I can't be bothered".

I must get this book!
