I wish everyone would shut up about their breakfast or Amy Winehouse on Facebook and be quiet for a minute to think about Norway. /rant


Someone gave this post a negative rating? Well I've never checked these things on TSR before but this I find very odd. 76 mostly young people died in Norway; it deserves far more peace and respect than my single TSR post and definitely no negative opinions.
True the way I thought of this with so many people been negative is that 99 families lost a loved one. People on internet and have personal opinions but it didnt stop her family loving her (Winehouse) despite her problems. And before you may ask no i didnt give a neg rate

Hope your uncle recovers soon.

Hope you recover soon as well and all the best on the deferred examination.

You have loads of patience :biggrin: To be able to read through 18 pages :biggrin: For me any thread more than 6 pages I will only read the first 2 and the last 2.

Flight to Zurich, LO surprisingly was very good on it, they gave her a "child pack" with some sweets and toys. She was quite amused with the flight. She enjoyed Switzerland a lot.

The trip to Hong Kong was good, ate too much as usual :biggrin:

The essays went well, though I've decided to stop the MBA program, can't stand all the damn socialist and left whingers infiltration into the program and them talking non-stop on sustainability and CSR..... uhhh, decided to transfer the credits to a Msc Finance and Investment program at the same university, received exemptions for 3 of the 8 modules. Will need to do 3 modules in the autumn and 2 in spring, then hand in a dissertation, will use the same one which I was preparing for the MBA with some minor alterations which is already 3/4 done. Will mostly self-study the modules.

I will start a new MBA program at Zurich University later this month. 1 day and 2 evening classes every fortnight for the next 2 years.


Thanks I hope he does to and rib all recovered now just stressing about up coming exams.

Lol thats a better way of looking rather then mine which is not doing revision :K::flute:

Glad LO enjoyed Switzerland and had good plane ride and you enjoyed Hong Kong Trip. Shame your changing your masters i'm thinking of doing one at nottingham and derby or another uni in area where I live. Good luck at the Zurich MBA.

They should have more continuity between themselves, I've heard health visitors saying to avoid doing things that other health visitors actively encourage. I realise that things need to be different baby to baby but it's hard for parents to know what to do if the professional advice is so conflicting.

Do you get the impression that a lot of "advice" they give is merely heresay and opinion rather than medical fact?

Not been on this thread for a while, I really must remember not to look at TSR on my phone as I have an annoying habit of accidently clicking "Stop following this thread" :redface:.


Congrats Tufts :biggrin:

Oh definitely! I think it is sometimes to know what to suggest but there could be some sort of strategy and they should be up on current research and WHO guidance (as I don't believe they always are!)

Congrats on the boy Tufts, one of each you lucky girl! I hope Amy is doing well still and I'm still loving the blog!

My hen night tomorrow! I've had so much pampering before hand! :biggrin:
