Hi there, thanks for setting this up. Just wondering if its suits you guys can we make a start on this and finish asap. I think we can get this over and done with pretty easy. Just know what the end of study period is like and think it might be best to get this out of the way asap. Let me know your thoughts and a date and time we can arrange to chat, divided and concur. Cheers, Jo

Im up for that since im doing 3 units i wwould like to get it done asap too. We can start planning on what aspects we want to address and who will do what parts. How does that sound. Once you do your part you can post all ur info under the slide tab it will go on then we can transfer it all onto a powerpoint. Cheers krystle

Sounds good, i'm free on Tuesday night or tomorrow morning for a chat session, is this suitable.

Tuesday night sounds good :)

Perfect!!!! should we make it 7.30pm

Awesome I will see you at 730pm on tuesday night :)

Do you want to chat on here through editing comments or did u want to chat live through facebook, skype, msn? whilst we look at this planning pages

Lets just chat here for tomorrow night..

Hi, Sorry I am late to get on... I couldn't work this site out. I'm not well but will strive to be on to chat tonight. I also agree that we should get this out of the way as soon as we can. I'm finding there is a lot of reading with both my units and it's a bit overwhelming. I'm trying my best to stay above water at the moment. Once I'm better I will be ready to go and into it though. Look forward to chatting with you tonight. Gemma

Nice to see you gemma I hope you start to feel better :)

With the chat session, if you click on the discussion tab above I have set up a topic so we can chat more easily, all we have to do it go into the topic then reply.

Hi there, i'm on line.. just trying to work it out.. bear with me please

Hey guys is everyone okay with scheduling a chat session this Tuesday at 730? Im flexible if this time isnt suitable. (krystle) Tonight 730 is better for me, Cheers, Jo

No drama at all, hope you feel better real soon Gemma.!! i'll still have mine done by Friday as i'm going away for the long weekend and will be back Thursday of next week. Cheers, Jo Hi ladies, Hope your both well!!!
 * Hi Jo, I got a response from Gemma. She apologies for her absence as she has been extremely ill but will post up the research she has. I told her to take her time on her part and get better first. We will have a majority of the assignment done anyways and still have a while to complete it so once she feels better she will do her part. **
 * Cheers Krystle **

I have completed my slides and summary plus started on the title page and reference, I’m pretty sure I’m on the right track, however more than happy if you want to make some changes to either my work or the layout..

I have emailed it to your curtain account Krystal, sorry Gemma I don’t have your email address, Krystal would you mind forwarding it to Gemma for me.

I’m heading on Holidays on Thursday and will be back next week, please let me know when you both decide on the next meeting date. No hurry just wanted to get my section done before I leave.

Hope you’re feeling better Gemma.

Chat soon, Jo

No probems all done. I have also added the powerpoints to the planning page so we can access them easier. (krystle)

Hi Jo & Krystle,

Sorry I have been MIA. As Krystle explained I have been terribly ill, in and out of hospital which means I am wayyyy behind in uni. I have nearly caught up but yet to start the final pieces of our assignment due tomorrow so I'm going to concentrate on that and spend my weekend catching up on what you have done with this assignment. I feel terrible that I have not yet contributed to the work. I don't want to lag off you ladies so I will work extra hard over the next week to bring in any new important information and finish my slides. Once again I am truely sorry. Regards, Gemma

Dont feel bad ypu cant help that ypu got really sick. Our assignment isnt due until november 11th so its all basically done anyways we just need your parts then we can whack it all together. So dont fret we still have plenty of time. Im glad you are feeling better and hope you catch up with all your other work :) Regards Krystle

Don't stress Gemma, it will all work out... glad to hear your feeling better..

Hi Jo & Krystle, I have finally uploaded my work. I have chosen to leave everything basic and blank becuase I wasn't sure who's design we were taking on and I didn't want to add another one to the mix. I've done some editing and tried to add more info although it is hard to get much more new stuff with only four references to get info from for the assignment. I hope you are all well.

Regards Gem :) And P.s I am happy to put it all together if you would like seeing how I let you both down at the start. Let me know what you think. Regards, Gem
