    Buffalo style smocks- Why?

    Sorry, just seen this. Honestly I will probably wait until after the summer now, but what sort of price are you looking for? Would definitely have to try it on, I usually go for Xl but occasionally a Large does fit me depending on the garment.

    What are you watching?

    I don't really watch a lot of tv but we do have Netflix so occasionally I watch a series with my girlfriend. We recently started watching 'The Good Doctor' about a young, severely autistic, surgeon. We are thoroughly enjoying it.

    What did you buy today?

    The other backpack I bought.. This one is really cool, I think you will all agree. It's a Joe Brown from I'm guessing the 80's. It is in fantastic condition but unfortunately it came missing the internal foam insert/frame thingy. It has some interesting features, like the top lid buckles are...

    What did you buy today?

    They are out there, although the Hot Ice seem to fetch good money, I prefer the slightly larger Hot Earth, mainly because it's a bit longer in the back. The Alpiniste 45 here has my favourite version of the Karrimor logo. It also has an Aergo back. It might be my new favourite day pack although...

    What did you buy today?

    Well here are three of the backpacks I bought. Bought as a bundle sale for not a lot of money. An Alpiniste 45, Alpiniste 65 and a Hot Ice. All from early to mid 90's and in great condition.

    Waterproof Pen

    Nope, not tried using an app on my phone, but will definitely give it a go. I think voice messages would be good in some scenarios, for instance taking notes of potential evidence whilst on a search etc. I don't think I fancy taking voice notes whilst in a group from the person in charge, I...

    Yes, more important than the pen. I have got a waterproof pad.

    Waterproof Pen

    It's for use in mountain rescue (I've recently joined) so general notes about locations, missing people descriptions etc. etc. I will see what other members are using, but we have a training exercise coming up so wanted to get something ordered for delivery this week. I'm not against using a...

    Waterproof Pen

    Thanks all, it's for note taking outside in wet weather. No art work involved. Would a fineliner or ballpoint be best? And any benefit to an archival pen (didn't even know what one was- had to google it) I'll definitely take a pencil but will also get a pen.

    Thank you, I was told a pencil will work.

    Waterproof Pen

    I know nothing about waterproof pens, or means of taking notes in the wet, but I need something reliable. What options do I have and what are others using? I have the waterproof notepad. Thank you.

    I am not bad at referencing, I guess my skill level is probably where it's supposed to be at for my current progression through the Access module.

    Thank you Pattree, and thank you for the tip, I will save that and have a go when the time comes to writing full essays!

    Thank you, yes it is certainly. I have a very full on year ahead of me between OU and other commitments.

    Essay writing is my biggest fear, although we are eased into it even on the degree. I did speak to my tutor about this on Sunday and he eased my mind a little.

    Just a quick update. I’m about halfway through the Business & Law access module now. I completed TMA02 before Christmas and got 89%, which I was really pleased with. I did make a couple of silly mistakes with word count and referencing, but all the required content for the question was there...
