We'll keep you posted, but in the interim I can thoroughly recommend a lady in a local village who tailor makes lampshades elegant hats, and would be delighted if you were to 'head' for her business. party1.gif

Enlgish Lit exam went pretty well today! The less said about maths from monday the better though!
Biology tomorow! ill.gif
Music went brilliantly last week, as did my french, so I'm hoping for some decent marks in those two papers, we'll wait and see!

DT food on thursday though! sad.gif 2 hours talking about EGGS and BUFFETS! wacko.gif ill.gif

Jacob. smile.gif

The best thing about sitting exams is forgetting all about them afterwards! I expect you're happy to have started ticking them off, Jacob.

I'm pleased to hear that most of them have gone well so far. Good luck for Biology tomorrow!

Thankyou! smile.gif

I've been ticking them off my exam timetable in big red pen! I plan on never mentioning eggs or buffets after this week! As long as I pass, I don't care about DT anymore!

I've had to be strict, because it's tempting to only concentrate on Music, French and History, because those are 3 out of 5 of my AS levels (the others are Psychology and General Studies), but what a waste of 5 years if I muck it up and chose to not revise!

Feeling good about a long swim yesterday smile.gif pushed myself and really feeling it today smile.gif my body is buzzing smile.gif

Well, yesterday I found a new song, that I love, and then my internet died. Now my internet is fixed, I've downloaded the song and started learning. smile.gif So that's made me happy.
Also my flatmate, who lives really near to me when not at uni, has decided to drive home today, and is giving me a lift, so I don't have to get the bus.

Congratulations!New kittens are enormous fun and great time wasters. Do enjoy his kittenhood and I'm sure he will grow into a beautiful cat.

I am a bit late because what made me happy happened last Friday but I have been busy.

Six year old piano pupil - heaved her music bag onto the chair beside the piano and said with a great sigh. "School exploded me today!"
"Oh dear", I replied" so do you think piano will explode you as well?"

""Oh no " she said brightly "I've already learnt my piece for the concert!"
