Yeah go for a walk or something. How much more have you got to do? I keep putting off my accounts, but I know I need to them today.

Thanks, yes think I'll switch off computer for a bit and try and start again later! Eyes are like saucers from sitting in front of teh computer! Still have a fair bit to do - its the editing I'm not looking forward to, but this is second time round for me as did undergrad dissertation 5 years ago! Its hard as I never seem to get a break as I'm doing a part time masters so have to do a 9-5 job too....argh!! Still I will try and focus and think just another 2 and half weeks then I'll be free and have my life back! Natalie

Aaaaw Natalie -poor soul. OK given that we were talking recently about some of the bands who made up what was called the Bristol Sound......?

Natalie

Natalie Report 3 May 2004 15:50

sorry - been looking at another thread has to be someone from Massive Attack or even Tricky then? - OMG!

Natalie

Natalie Report 3 May 2004 15:52

Hi Jan! (don't worry about the 'Nat' thing!) Yes Viv - it is hard juggling everything at the same time - hope your hubby gets better soon xx

Rick

Rick Report 3 May 2004 15:52

Spot on - 3d from Massive Attack - trying to look inconspicuous dressed all in black with shades on in the queue at Tescos when it pouring in down outside !!!! He drinks in a pub I used to go in a lot too !

Natalie

Natalie Report 3 May 2004 15:55

OMG!!! Lucky you eh! I'm v jealous! (as the most famous I saw in Tesco was Will Carling looking at CD's and he kept getting in my way, it wasn't til someone asked for his autograph that I realised who it was!)

Rick

Rick Report 3 May 2004 16:00

Thought it was funny - the way he was dressed drew attention to him. Don't think anyone would have noticed him otherwise. Can't imagine Tricky in Tescos somehow. Think he lives in NY now anyway.

Natalie

Natalie Report 3 May 2004 16:06

Think you're right - he is in America now - he could have maybe been visiting - lol!
