Finished it! Roughly 11 hours work (cos I had a 50 minute phone call to my girlfriend) and 50 pages. Not too shabby :cool:.

I might go bed now, but it's light already. Poo

My god you stayed up late. The latest I've burned the midnight oil is about 12.30 am for coursework. There is no why I could do an all nighter. Well done for getting it complete.

Sounds like it as well. I did GNVQ ICT a few years ago and that was a bastard - still, only failed by one mark...

some of the last bit i wrote:

It took a lot longer to complete the project than I had set time aside for in my original plan. Part of this is down to being poorly organised on my part, and another part is due to not getting the database right second time (I had planned for the first one to be a working piece, and the second to be a polished finished version). I had to take extra time to look at the database, found out where it was going wrong and tried to get round problems.

At the same time I had to start writing the technical documentation which was difficult because I wasn’t sure if my database was perfect, as it didn’t work perfectly first time (validation not properly working). This pushed time back and by the time I finished the database and had the witness statement I had to complete the user documentation. However, due to the extra few weeks I afforded myself in the initial plan I was able to finish the project before the end deadline.

(before the end deadline by a matter of hours )
