I have studied. Boy have I studied. Apparently I have now studied all the lessons in my course that relate directly to the exam I’m about to take. This doesn’t actually hugely please me – I thought I had about three more segments of course to go, but when I went into them it turned out they were added background material. This is only bad as I was counting on covering more material to bump up my online test scores of 64%, it is good that I don’t have three sessions worth of new material to cover.
I’ll go back over the ground over the next couple of days, but I’m gonna sit that exam on Tues come what may. Then when I’ve got a pass I can see about job hunting some more. With a break for Hesfes of course 😉
What else have I done today? Some more oscommerce work 😉 Got rid of a child – Big has gone for a sleepover with her mate from nursery days. Small was absolutely distraught as they left, but got over it when I loaded up cbeebies for him. He does like computers. Anyone got any ideas how to stop him drawing on them though?
We played trains as well, and he pootled around the garden. He tried to fall asleep in the middle of the floor, and was ever so cute about being woken up – I lifted him up, set him on his feet and said “Daddy’s out in the garden, do you want to go in the garden with Daddy?” Little autopilot came on and he trotted off….just not quite in a straight line 😉
He had a nice chat with his grandfather tonight. Didn’t say a whole lot of anything, but nodded and smiled (which works so well with a phone, don’t you think? 🙂 ) – grandfather seemed to enjoy it anyway. And he was so tired that he decided he would have a feed (down to about one night in three now) and fell asleep on my knee – think I’ll probably miss that when it’s gone. At least now I’ve got prior warning that it’s going.
I’ve been doing some research into how we can build scale models of historical houses as well. Anyone out there know anything about basket weaving?

good luck with the exam!
Well done, sounds like you did really well today! Really hope it pays off.
and aw to Small, he’s so cute, can just imagine the waking up scenario – really looking forward to seeing you all again in a couple of weeks.
Lyddie scribbles on screens. I don’t know why. I just buy washable pens and clean the screens regularly but I’m looking forward to the phase passing! She’s been doing it for ages though.
I’ll have a dig out for you re. basket weaving – I’ve never done it, but I used to make corn dollies etc. so somewhere should have some useful stuff (although it may be in a box under a load of other boxes somewhere), but I do know the theory behind it.
You know, it was either you or Rosie that I was thinking might know the stuff 😉 I did corn dollies at school (lovely little village school, we did spinning, weaving and making butter as well) which I suppose *is* similar. Hmmm…
Sounds lovely – having been to 9 schools I always missed any ‘interesting’ stuff, but made up for it by just doing it myself, I was always making something (or reading). Rosie may well know – multi-talented lady that she is :0) Might be worth posting on the MP list.
