They’re very cute and they’d make lovely hair slides too! Also dribbling over your rainbow yarn

Nice song:) being nit-picky, ‘the probability of obtaining a result if the null hypothesis is true’ should say ‘the probability of obtaining a result *at least as big as the one I obtained* if the null hypothesis is true’

Thanks very much for the nice comments about my book – much appreciated.

You’ve written this post at just the right time for me! I’m seriously considering studying again – a professional development postgrad type of thing – and while I’m a bit daunted by adding yet another ‘thing’ to my list, which will suck up even more of any precious free time – I feel like this might be the right time to just go for it. I’m really enjoying my new line of work and want to know more – I want to get good at it, and I feel like studying might help me to do that.

It’s true, I already have a healthy list of demands on my time, but like you say, I can juggle the priorities. And it’s not like I don’t already spend most evenings on the sofa with my laptop – at least if I do this, I’ll be using that time constructively!

LOL! I know people who say “I don’t know how you have time to…” But really it’s a question of priorities, if people really want to do these things they can. In the same way I find myself thinking “I don’t know how they have time to keep their house tidier than mine”, but of course I would have a tidier house if I spent less time on Twitter!

I completely agree with you, I too started a full time teaching degree course when my children were 5 and 7. It was hard going cycling the 3 miles each way, leaving home by 8am and getting back at 5. I was lucky to have a hubby working shifts so he was home in the afternoon for the children and good friends who did the school run in the mornings. There was a lot of working into the wee small hours but I so loved it! I got my degree it was one of the my most memorable days to go and collect it, shared with my family who had gone the 3 years with me.

It’s so true. My time management is brilliant these days. If my youngest is at preschool for 3 hours I use every moment of that 3 hours. On the negative side, I have become quite annoying in the way I lecture childless friends. I am writing a novel and several of my single, childless friends have said, ‘Oh, I wish I had time to write!’ What?! They only work 8-10 hours a day and sometimes not at all at weekends! I truly don’t know what their problem is. And if I lecture them enough I won’t have any friends left and I’ll have even more time to write!
