BTW, I think I need to follow some of my own advice on this one, so thanks so much for posting this and reminding me!!!

Best of luck to you!
Thank you, your last line made me giggle, you must be like me!
I never think of myself as a perfectionist, but I am never ever happy with the work I hand in. I do always think it could be better. I do find it impossible to even get a start on an assignment or an essay. I just spent a few hours researching and making out a letter for a friend. I put my work aside to do that, I seem to be happy to get stuck into others work but when it comes to my work, it's so hard.
