Mine for today are:-
Emptying the dust canister in my Hoover
Completing my Tax Credit renewal when I haven't even had tax credits since last year
Cleaning out the cat litter tray (Sorry, mog)
Anyone got some of their own?

I have realised - two months in - the seductive and addictive power of the Internet and have to really haul my backside away from my PC to 'do life' sometimes, so I thought - just for fun, cos we need a laugh - what are the chores etc that are currently taking a back seat in favour of being on-line?

Not sure what I'd be doing. Maybe watching a Movie or cleaning my Kitchen again.

Laundry
Packing I'd like to say getting rid of stuff to goodwill, but that's likely a job for Christmas break. ---------------------------------------------------

Attempting not to lose my temper with my spellchecker. Unfortunately for me some fool saw fit to accept me onto the LLB in Law, and i like an even bigger Idiot accepted. The bewildering world of the word is beckoning again, and i for one, am frantically trying to ignore its sirens call. Mainly because i am driven into a homicidal rage by my wordprocessor and its annoyingly arsey spell checker function.
I am reasonably sure that said spellchecker hates my guts, because every third word is underlined in a particularly nausiating shade of red, and i am getting well and truly narked at it. Yes, i cant spell for toffee, and yes i know that poem isnt spelt "peom" but i dont rightly care. Agggh. Perhaps i should put my current tribulation into more context. i am writing an essay. a Law essay to be more precise. This is not an easy task. It is hard enough trying to write a Law essay for the first time, using unfamiliar terms (other than "and" and "the" obviously, i am dyslexic, not stupid) such as "Mens Rea" and it surely doesnt need to made harder by the @#%$ wordchecker telling me that i have spelt it wrong. Being dyslexic i dont know if it is me, or the machine, and my head hurts enough already. AGGH. that is IT. I am going to wage war against the spellchecker, and it shall not stand against the might of my hastily butchered words. So Poem isnt spelt "peom". I am aware of this. Truly, i am. But will it cause the universe to implode? No. Will all life be reduced to a quivering pool of goop, just because I CANT SPELL? Sigh. I know there are more pressing matters in the world, i watch the news, i care, i donate, i ponder. But i still know the spell checker is there. And it does a job. and it is good the spell checker points these things out, if only it could make viable suggestions as to an alternative instead of making me replace these words with words that are not even English in origin. Still, being the strange boy i am, i shall persevere. Incidently i have signed up for NaNoWrimo too, my user name is "littleboy lost" (the gap between boy and lost has to be there) so if you fancy reading more inane and senseless ramblings, please have a look.

Hey Adam. Just a thought but the people on my course who are dyslexic get special stickers they can put on the front of their work telling the markers and asking them to ignore spelling, punctuation and grammer and just mark the work for its content. Could you do something similar? It would mean that you wouldn't have to check everything was perfect all of the time. Just an idea!

Hi Adam
I hate spell checkers as they are poor whenever you get into specialist words or words that have English and American versions. Also hate them as they highlight my poor typing skills plus my aging brain!!! Lynn |
