Lucia, I can't speak for every degree hun ....but I would imagine so. Saying that it only takes a good week to write 4,000 words. The longest bit is before hand preparing for the topic you are going to write about. Sue xx

Hi Daniel, what are you studying?? Sue xx

I have to write a boring essay for school on public art and I'm struggling to get 1500 words...!! Lucia :-)

I'm not. It's a money making scheme. I thought I should try and earn some cash and not being one for manual work (my mother will back me up on this) decided to do something I enjoy- My town's history and social history in general. Seeing that there is only one book on Birkenhead crime, I have spotted a gap in the market and hope to get a book published on Wirral's criminal past.

I had to do 10,000 words for a post-grad diploma....! It was a struggle, lol!

Lucia, the easy way to write a good essay is to have a good solid introduction. Make it clear to yourself then it becomes clear to the reader. It also gives you step by step instructions on what you yourself have to write about. Sue xx

Well then Sheila, you can become mine, Lucia and Daniels inspiration!! Brill!! Daniel...you entrepeneur you lol Sue xx

Thanks for the advice Sue....for the top grade in our school we only have to get about 800...so don't think I'm doing too badly... Lucia :-)

Back in a sec. Richard Branson is calling asking for advice.

lolol :-)

Lol Sue, it was a few years ago now! I was on intravenous coffee for the last couple of days and nights trying to get it finished!

Deanna, he's not just a scruff in his bedroom...he thinks he will dissolve in water. He stinks!! He thinks if he sprays Linx on himself every day then that's ok. Me and hubby can't wait for him to discover girls!! Sue xx

Sheila, the worse bit is loosing track of what I am writing about. I tend to drift off the topic and then nothing makes sense. I have to keep reading what I have done and get back on track!! Daniel...charge him the going rate!! Sue xx

I know Sue, I really had to work hard to keep it within spec, also didn't help that the subject matter was less than inspiring as my original topic had to be abandoned! I'm thinking of starting OU this year, must be a glutton for punishment! Sheila x

Sheila and Sue, I admire you!!! :-) you must be really brainy, Lucia :-)

talking of sons.....mine has just come back to live with me after 16yrs .....he has to be tidy because i live in a one bedroom flat and he has a bed in the living room......bit of a squash..but we manage till he gets somewhere of his own to live.....he's no trouble apart from him trying to hogg my computer.....

Lucia, I'm not brainy love, just determined to do this. I honestly think common sense and determination wins over brains hands down. Jean and Deanna I think you should both raise my son for me until he becomes respectable and smells nice!! Sue xx

no thanks sue, it was a bit of a shock getting the one i've got back.at the age of 69 did'nt expect to be looking after sons again....i live in sheltered housing so had to have permission for him to stay...was telling the resident manager where i live, that i hoped that my other son did'nt have a marriage breakup as well and need a home...she laughed and said well you will have to get bunk beds....oh perish the thought

Jean, my Mam has been in the same boat with my Brother loads of times lol. He went off to Uni then came back...went to live with his girlfriend...then came back. Lived with a few others...but always came back. He's now just bought his own house!! My Mam is keeping his bedroom aired just incase ha ha. Do you think it's a son thing?? Sue xx

i don't know sue......i'll get my own back some day they may have to look after me.....still i would'nt see them in a mess..sometimes wish i'd been blessed with a daughter though
