Wow! That sounds interesting, what kind of career do you want after it? I'm doing a joint honours in childhood development and early years. But I want to be a child psychologist/psychotherapist, x

Cool )) no idea I did a BA Hons in crime, deviance and society in 2008 then had twins the following year one of which as complex needs,par deaf, blind etc etc so career sort of came to a stand still but I was going to do the MA so picked it up this year.., no idea as yet lol x

 

[tinks*]

Then we are in the same boat! When do you WI? X

Monday morning. I have been thinking of changing it to in the middle of the week. Going to see how I get on a few more weeks. Then change it I think. Weekends are my downfall x

Wow that must be hard work, I did it the other way round, had twins then when they were 4 went to study! I know how difficult it can be with twins when they're healthy, it must have been hard when they were babies for you. X

Yeah ... Was harder when they were babies as she was in hospital for most of it! She has admissions every couple of months, she is tube fed so it causes issues and a lot of appointments at all different hospital, I'm actually waiting for one to come up in newcastle but it's only up the A1 I did my degree when my oldest was 6? I think (he's 14 now) and had Scarlett in my third year (she was born in the summer holidays so lucky lol) then graduated had the twins then managed to get caught when they were 5weeks old so 14, 5, 2,2 and 1 ... But that's the lot now lol

Think you agree with twins that now I don't really know how I did it when they were little .. Two babies are hard work lol x

[charl_young]

Exciting morning, afternoon in the depressing Uni library. And it's raining sooo bad.. Not actually in the library, on the way.. Ick. X

 

[charl_young]

I should have been planning and writing all morning but I haven't. I have been doing more research but hand in is only 2 days away and I'm starting to panic! So I'm going to have my lunch then go to my office and start writing a proper plan, I usually find writing ok as long as I plan properly, it's just hard as my day gets split up once I have to get my boys from school then i can't really work again until 8 when they go to bed. Soo my aim for today is plan and write 1000 words. Then tomorrow I can conclude and introduce. Then weds just reference and edit before I had in. I always leave it too late and then have to rush. Food wise I've been super good this week so I'm hoping for a good loss on thursday. My 30ds came today and my weights so going to start that on weds night after my work is out the way.

EE DAY : Monday

Breakfast : SW hash browns with onion, salmon, poached eggs, tomato sauce (1syn)

Lunch : pasta n sauce, added peppers, mushroom, courgette, sweetcorn and quorn peppered steak. (0.5syn) 2 alpen lights.

Dinner : fajitas wraps (6 syns) chicken, peppers, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes. Lettuce, cucumber. Fat free fromage frais, salsa, jalapeño. Cajun rice. 1tbsp oil, served 4 though so I'd say (1.5syns) max

Drinks : tea w/milk (hexA) water, green tea.

TOTAL SYNS : 9 so far

OK, so yesterday didn't really go as planned, I didn't do so much work, well I spent the afternoon and evening researching and planning, so I haven't actually written anything. This morning my bf took the boys to school so I could have a really good sleep as I was up until 2 researching. So I feel pretty confident I can get everything done today and feel happy with my work. I have just finished my plan, and put it all in order, I always think essays are kinda easy if you plan and have resources all laid out ready, as it kinda writes itself then, and its only 2000 words which is good. I've probably done the same thing I did last time and over planned as last time i ended up with a 3000 word essay and had to cut loads out I liked. Which I guess is better than struggling to meet word counts and waffling crap (like i'm doing now!!) my ex is having the boys tonight in a rare effort of helping me get my work done, so at least I have all day and night to write, and then if I somehow don't get finished I could finish off tomorrow morning before hand in. Not having the kids makes it so sooo much easier to work. I think I've gone a bit essay crazy as this post is now ridiculous.. never mind!

EE DAY - Tuesday

Breakfast : Roti (hexB) bacon medallions, lettuce and tomato. x light mayo (0.5syns) Strawberries, mango.

Lunch : riso gallo risotto pronto, mushroom (parmesan - hexA), strawberries.

Dinner : gammon (fat removed) oven chips (didn't weigh so I'll guess 6 syns) salad, pineapple, peas, 'fried' egg. tomato sauce (1syn) mini Easter egg, (2 syns)

Drinks : Loads of tea (HexA milk) green tea, water (I always seem to drink so much when i'm working, i think it's an excuse to keep getting up!)

TOTAL SYNS : 9.5

 

[Keldelacoe]

Got some marks back on my other one a 60 which i'm a bit gutted about but my tutor said that's good for 1st year. A bit worried about the one I just handed in as I did less work for it.
