Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Is anyone else spending their half-term writing essays?

(19 Posts)
Because I am! I have three to get in by middle November, so going to be spending most of the half-term writing at least two of these!

Anyone want to join me?

Excuse swearing. Essayed out :-(
Don't even have the time to MN anymore

I've almost finished one essay. Got another one to start, but that is not due until mid November.

Just finding it hard when the dc are downstairs so working in the evening when they are asleep, but by then all I want is to relax!
I missed this thread when it started, but yep! Had a tma due in yesterday, and finished it off before breakfast yesterday morning. <sigh>

Never again! I've spent the half term ratty with the kids. I do normalyl try to study so I don't work during hols, but because of a course overlap I jsut couldnt do it this time.
I've still not started! Feeling really bad about it. Everytime I sit down and think 'right, I'm gunna do this now' the kids want something, someone comes round etc.

Ugh, wondering why I started this course at the moment!
I have one to hand in on Tuesday and another on Friday. Been trying today, but the DCs keep making me lose my train of thought.
Have some sympathy - in about two weeks I will begin marking essays!!!! grin

Half Term??? What half term? I don't get any time off til a week at christmas.

I have to have decided on a dissertation topic, done some searching and given my supervisor a 300 word summary by the end of october. along with various other bits. Iy is the dissertation that is worrying me. I can't decide what to do.
Hehe, the main assignment I need to get done by next tuesday is Psychology.

I know the stuff and I've got the info, it's just starting it!

Atleast the wedding cake is nearly finished!
Hiya All,
After starting this thread, I went off to do some work!

I'm doing a Psychology Degree, and got two pieces of work to get in.

It's not going to well, the dc are not impressed that I have a book next to me, and it is not about dinasours!

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
