Writing two letters - one thanking someone for offering me work experience, and one complaining about a Year 8 who's been following me blink.gif


Start singing "Me and my shadow" next time they're following you.... tongue.gif


You have a fan club!

I understand how it could get annoying.

I've taken to writing the email first, and then reviewing it, and then putting in the addressee so that it doesn't get sent by mistake. Am I over-cautious? Does anyone else do that?


In the past I've inadvertently sent an incomplete email by hitting the wrong keyboard shortcut! Flippin' outlook... although you can disable it (Ctrl+S I think, so if you hit that instead of shift+s, off it goes!)


I think my mum should do that! She was emailing the person interviewing me for my choral scholarship at Oxbridge, and pressed send instead of save. ohmy.gif It didn't have any spelling errors thankfully, but did stop half way through a sentence! dry.gif
I didn't get the scholarship! laugh.gif

smile.gif I love it, but I haven't stepped foot in Scotland since August 2006! ohmy.gif I think I have persuaded my parents that I need a trip there next year! smile.gif (just need to time it correctly, so I can get cover for my job, which shouldn't be too difficult)


I am now looking at photographs of August 2006! wub.gif
I've just found a picture of me paddling in the sea! laugh.gif I look very windswept, and it is raining too!
Celeste
Raining? In Scotland? Never! biggrin.gif

I'm planning on taking Matthew to Orkney for a trip next summer - it's beautiful too... I just hate that you have to go on a boat to get there! sad.gif (Flying isn't really an option, it's so expensive!)
pianocelloflute
Flying is really expensive, I hope the boat isn't too bad. Orkney is beautiful. smile.gif

Now I'm looking at the pictures of Orkney! More pictures of me in the sea! (every holiday seems to have photographs of me in the sea!)

Potato bread wub.gif

A stottie is apparently a sandwich of some description. North East England branches of Greggs apparently sell them. I did ask someone in a South East London branch what one was. She didn't have any idea...

I've never seen one in Greggs, but then I'm in the North West... I just googled it and it looks sort of like a muffin, doesn't it?

Is this where you have to go in and write a piece of coursework with nothing but a dictionary in a certain amount of time? I've heard of people copying it into their dictionaries and just writing it out from that afterwards - why didn't I think of that?! laugh.gif

I'm getting frustrated at the moment because Facebook won't let me upload photos mad.gif

We weren't allowed a dictionary! On the other hand, most of us learnt ours by heart, and just wrote it out by memory in the exam.
