Phewwww am i relieved

Last night I had a great chat in FC with DH and DC. Great chat except I was the one who had to save transcript and allow catch up. Never done that before so DH told me how. I got the red dot ok and DH said that when we finished it would ping to my mail box. I finished chatting a couple of mins before the others and said bi. Then there was no bloody ping. I closed down my computer and have been thinking about it on and off during the night. Thought I would have to lg on and admit to the others how daft I am. BUT went into fc this morning and there it was that lovely wee red flag telling me the transcript had pinged its way into my box. Thank God for that. Phew I was relieved.
At least I now know how to do that. Another thing learned and also that technology often does work for me.

Well what do you know

Well what do you know, there are people that look at my blog. I find that very scary. I am not sure if this will make me more reserved in my comments. Mmmmmmmm when in my life have I ever been reserved? never!

I was delighted to read your comments. i have not put my blog onto the Ultraversity page - yet. But I do have it in my signature on e mails and first class. And yes kate I will put on the pictures of my Von Trapp Family Singers when they are born over the weekend. I cant remember if I explained why I was making them. It is the annual scottish childminding weekend in Dunfermline next wekend and we have a gala dinner on Sat night were we have to dress up. This years theme is children from films , cartoons, books etc. My friend is the oldest Van Trapp boy, I am the oldest girl and we have 1 boy and 4 girls to make. Our clothes are all identical made from curtain material. This of course is taking time away from Uni work but I will be ahead by then. Won`t I.mmmmmmmmmmm

Thanks again for your comments. Now back to some work.

My wonderful view today

Just thought I would capture the view from my window this morning. Lovely.

I have been busy looking at Activity 1 about reviewing my learning over the last two years. I knew I had come a long way but never realised how far.

I have made a Table with my learning on it and now just need to add the writing bit. 600 words I think. Hope to have this finished for tomorrow when I have a live chat with other Tornados in FC. Quite looking forward to that as it was DH and I whio instigated the chat for tomorrow night at 8pm. Hope that others join in. Posted this pic also in FC this morning and had a few replies.

One thing that I must look at in this blog is how to see if anyone ever reads this blog. Not that I think it would interest anyone except me but maybe there are some lurkers out there that visit but don`t leave comments. If thats you I would love a comment to let me know you visited.

A day of sewing life size children on Saturday with maybe a bit of maths thrown in and then Ultraversity work on Sunday although I may treat hubbie to lunch. Maybe!

Year 3

Well thats it I have started year 3. I had dreamt that I would go into year 3 with a bang. The reality has been it has been with a quiet wimper which is building up to a roaring scream - well at the moment anyway.
I thought I was all sorted for my Year 3 research but as the time went on, i convinced myself it would be an evaluation and not research. T, H and S are reassuring but fair (cruel - but in a nice way) and keep bursting my bubble. i know it is being cruel to be kind because I am sure they want me to finish year 3 as much as I do - if only so that they never need to speak to me again.

I am stillconvinced that the website is a good idea and I have already thought about the exhibition and how I can pilot it and then do the real one. Just waiting for the go ahead to start the AI.

I have scribbled and thought about the LA`s and plan to complete 1 and 2 and the ILP this week. Am hoping for the go ahead soon as I dont want to get behind with the work.

Maths has also started. Open Learning with Inverness college so its down to me. I will have to devise a study plan to take into account all the activities I am up to at the moment.

I have also started tap dance classes on a Wed night. Got the tap shoes from e bay and feel like Ginger Rodgers.

This weekend I have to make 5 life size material ( and stuffed) children. Why? because I am a childminder of course and that is the kind of crazy things we do.

Mmmmmm got that wrong

So much for me having a lot of work done on the web site before term starts. I have done a lot of work but as I finish a page, I see another feature that makes it look better( in my opinion) so needless to say I am attempting all things fancy and not really getting it finished. Well never mind It will be worth it in the end - I think.


I am hunting around now for some literature to use for my research and finding it not very easy. mmmmmmm this looks like it might be hard.

New term starts on 17th September and must admit I am looking forward to it.

I have signed up with Inverness college to do Intermediate 2 Maths as an open learning student. I have to sit 3 unit tests in a "controlled environment" and then sit the final exam next May in the local Academy with all the kids. Its either that or I travel to Inverness for the day.
Got my calculator and got my books so I am ready to start.
