All that was left was to print the actual assignment, photocopy the content for the appendices, arrange it all in order, get it bound in some format, and get myself to the Post Office to send it via next day delivery so it would definitely arrive guaranteed on time for the 6th January 2011.
The repographics room at school did a wonderful job of getting it all ready for me, so I left school at lunch to pop to the Post Office.
First, I'd forgotten where the Post Office was! I work near where I live, so it's not like I don't know the area! They'd just moved the Post Office in to a local branch of W.H. Smith and I'd forgotten that!
When I got there, the queue was wrapped right around the shop! It is the first working day after New Year, so the world and his wife was in there!
Well I didn't have time to wait, so I returned to school, and later, after school, and after a Staff Meeting, I went to a different Post Office to send it.
£6.70 it cost me to send two copies of the assignment and a USB stick with an electronic version on! To be honest though, it could have cost twice as much and I still would have sent it the same way (Special Delivery) just to have the peace of mind of knowing it was going to get there on time.
It's done now - nothing more I can do.
