It's not fun but it is necessary and I really must get as much of the research I've done over the last 5 weeks written up. I have this week off as it's half-term here and as I work full-time have a very demanding daughter with disabilities, do the course and have many pets as well as a house to run - half term is vital. After half-term we get into adding and editing - always a long process for me and the pressure becomes more and more intense until the assignment is done.
