halfpint Feb 2021 2:36pm, 23 Feb 2021 34,232 posts	0 halfpint Thanks Hann. I’ll need to scan back through today’s newts to pick my favourite. I am so exhausted from yesterday’s newt and a bad night’s sleep that I haven’t newted so far today.
Rosehip Feb 2021 2:37pm, 23 Feb 2021 19,784 posts	0 Rosehip First proper "gardening" session of the spring for me - I've pottered a bit, but this was 90 minutes of actual graft. First cup of tea sat with laptop in the garden has followed. Going to tidy up now and go through my seed packets and work out a plan
EvilPixie Feb 2021 2:51pm, 23 Feb 2021 23,454 posts	0 EvilPixie Looked at OU passed out at cost of modules 6.2k (ish) for a level 1 course that basically gives me nothing!
Ness Feb 2021 2:55pm, 23 Feb 2021 13,837 posts	0 Ness The cost has gone up so much, Pix. My modules for my Masters degree were a fraction of that cost but I completed the whole thing in 1999! OU studies for me will have to start next year. Too expensive this year!
Velociraptor Feb 2021 2:56pm, 23 Feb 2021 51,610 posts	0 Velociraptor Have done similar, Pix. And decided that if I'm going to pay money to do a degree for my own amusement I'm going to pay the extra to go to a terrestrial university.
WA Feb 2021 2:59pm, 23 Feb 2021 8,351 posts	0 WA That's why I'm starting with the free ones
EvilPixie Feb 2021 3:07pm, 23 Feb 2021 23,455 posts	0 EvilPixie where are these free ones WA? My BSc was £1600 My Teaching degree was free as I got a bursary for the fees Paid a total of about £100 for 2 masters modules during ITT in 2010 and the rest of the MA was paid for by DoE I was only able to do it 'cos I paid off the mortgage with inheritance so didn't have that to pay
EvilPixie Feb 2021 3:19pm, 23 Feb 2021 23,456 posts	0 EvilPixie found them WA and signed on to OU I now have a newt to do when bored at work thank you
WA Feb 2021 3:31pm, 23 Feb 2021 8,352 posts	0 WA Sorry- I missed your first post EP, glad you found them
Sharkie Feb 2021 3:34pm, 23 Feb 2021 17,397 posts	0 Sharkie I have a slight newt although I might have introduced it in previous years. Although it seems almost automatic for the Newt of the Day Picker to choose something from the previous 24 hours I think they should be allowed to pick ANYTHING that's gone before. Especially if they can tell us why they are so keen on that particular thing. Hope you are all in agreement.

The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
