Hi all!

I wondered what you all had planned for this weekend?  Are you going anywhere nice?

If not, feel free to keep me company! I will be here most of this weekend and then on Monday I have to finish my university dissertation so I will no longer be a student :smiley: wooohooo!!

Inspire me with your activities!!

    Oh lovely enjoy!  

    It's a MA in Critical Disability Studies :) Almost there with it now, my brain cells are very ready for a rest.

    I tend to stay home at bank holidays due to the busy traffic and crowds and also my boyfriend has gone away yo Scotland on a motorbike tour so just me and my son this weekend

    I want to finish the first series of prison break and also will be watching the grand prix (Im a bit of a fan)

    Take away tonight then will make some brownies tomorrow

    Keep going with the study @janer1967 are you enjoying it?

    I watched Prison Break the first time round, Wentworth Miller is great in it.  I'm sure my OH will be watching the F1 when he gets in too  :)

    Have a nice time!

    That sounds like a really worthwhile thing to study, well done getting through it :) I am studying myself and know what you mean when you say your brain cells need a rest...it is quite demanding especially when you have other issues going on as well!

    I hope everyone enjoys the F1. I think it’s weird, I am really into cars and driving myself but watching the F1 (or any car racing) doesn’t interest me!

    We are packing my hospital bag today, well making a start anyway. Best to be prepared! Bank Holidays annoy me because they confuse me and I end up losing track of what day it is! 

    Critical Disability Studies sounds really intriguing @Cher_Scope! I've never heard of it before, what sort of things have you learned from it? :)

    @woodbine Good luck with the root canal! I have a root canal re-treatment coming up in September that I'm looking forward to with equal trepidation! 

    @Grinchy Good luck to your son too.  I wonder if he will be on stage or screen in the future?!  

    @Ami2301 Ahhh exciting times, when are you due again?  I can't wait to hear more about your bump's arrival! As to what I've learned - lots!  This is a link to the MA course I did at Leeds and my modules covered disability research, politics, social policy and disability theory.  I feel better placed to help other disabled people achieve equality now than before  :)

    What is everyone else up to this Sunday?  I'm just going to make a coffee before responding to some more posts and I have a cat staring at me through the front window wanting to be let inside!

    Thanks for the link @Cher_Scope I will have a read :) Little Avenger's actual due date is 16th November but as got the date for the c-section on Friday! So, now she should be arriving on the 4th November :) we had our first growth scan on Friday and they've estimated her weight at 2lbs 10oz, she is head down already and all is well :)

    Me, on the other hand, I can't stop napping! I think there will be 2 more growth scans and we are having a 4d scan in a couple of weeks ? can't wait to see her little face! ?

    You might want to let the cat in ?

    Awww @Ami2301 How exciting!! Those 4d scans are so good and detailed.  Let us know how it goes and make the most of this nap time before your little avenger arrives  :D

    Frank the cat is now inside and sat next to me, dribbling on my new note pad  :/ (Bless him and also ewww)

    @Cher_Scope

    Good luck with your MA and it sounds like a really interesting course?

    I am going for a walk in the forest with a friend and hopefully I will feed my other group of squirrels there (yes I do have another group of squirrels that I feed??).

     I have already posted some photographs of the “forest squirrels” before but I will post some in the Squirrels and Friends thread later?

    Good luck with your dissertation?

    @Cher_Scope

    You’re welcome?

    I’m glad the squirrel photos are helping ?

    I still can’t believe how cheeky the hazelnut thief is? 

    I hang the bag on the fence so I don’t have to carry it and she just decided to help herself??

    @janer1967 They sound a bit more-ish.  Have you hid them from yourself?  :D

    @RAwarrior The hazelnut thief! Hehe.  These squirrels are very lucky to have you spoiling them!
