Hello HP. You were one of the people I had in mind when I started this thread as I know you have a thesis to write :)

I also need a boot up the arse.

Hi all, in the midst of PPE with OU here, currently going through a can't be bothered phase so was pleased to spot this thread! :-)

Sounds like lots of boots are needed around here (mine included). I run more when I've got assignments due in. And the ironing gets done. Windows cleaned, oh yeah. Avoidance anyone???

Oh god, yes. I'm on here all bloody day. And seem to be on an exercise streak.

Got a deadline after Easter. Not a hope in hell of meeting it.

Exercise is valuable for powering your brain. Not sure about cleaning windows though :)

A mutual arse booting threading seems like a good idea then.

We have the added stressors of the Scottish Govt pulling the funding just after we put our applications went in. It's been a tough couple of years financially as well as the placement/coursework/single mum drama. Now just the thesis, a few accounts of work for placement and finding a job. The end is in sight.

I'm about to turn my computer off for the evening :-)

Trying to edit my masterpiece (?) on compensation flows is proving challenging. My chapter (it was three chapters originally) is currently 30,000 words long. I need to edit it down to 12,000 words :-O

Bye bye work (waffle) :-(

If you have chrome and social networking etc is a key procrastination tool then try stayfocusd - you can restrict your own access to the internet as a whole or set websites. I switched mine off recently but need to set it up again after Easter.
