Blog changes and bookmarking

I doubt my blog gets many readers, there are so many blogs 'out there', but if you are one of them, apologies if you scroll down and expect to find a link or something and it's moved...I've been organising! Yes, I have assignments due, and yes, I am procrastinating :) But seriously, I have had great fun today learning how to bloglog and playing with various methods of storing bookmarks online: del.icio.us and blinklist, to name a few. Organising my bookmarks is going to be an ongoing, mammoth task as I have them everywhere! On two computers and a laptop (one computer is on its last legs so that one gets priority!), on Firefox and Explorer (on all 3 machines!),on the two sites mentioned above, and freewebs.com, as well as here on my blog. Careful bookmarking hasn't been a priority over the years, but having had to become more organised for my level 3 course research I decided to bite the bullet and get the whole lot sorted!

This week went too quickly...

...but we got alot done. We:
iceskated (yes I did, and didn't fall over once!)
saw Cinderella at the Brook Theatre (Kate, two school friends "Go Miss Thurston, wooo!" and I)
revised (Sam)
studied (me)
did homework (Kate)
played (all of us...Cluedo!)
read (Kate and I)
caught up with friends
exercised (Kate, mum and I)
did the garden (I planted radishes, chives, spring onions and carrots and did a whole lotta digging and trimming. Totally chilled out as a result)
chose new library books (Kate and I)
Facebooked (me)
Piczo-d (Kate)
ebayed (sold more than bought for a change!)
ate takeaways (too many!)
and generally had a jam-packed but cool week.

Kids go back to school now and I must get more study done....two assignments due before we go to Spain and a whole lotta reading (KE312...I dumped S339 before it got started) and research (U316...gotta start thinking about my project). All good fun.

Motivate me and give to a good cause!

A short and sweet blog posting, the first one this year in fact. Sorry Bloggers, been too wrapped up in the start of a new study year with the OU, with GCSE revision (my son's), Facebooking and job hunting. More on all this another time, but for now, take a look at:
