Have you got any image editing software like Paint Shop Pro? If so you can use that.
I have my second English language paper tomorrow, although I just haven't done as well as I have hoped I think.

(Correct me if I'm wrong anyone

) Firstly, I did it on PowerPoint, I pasted my picture, saved it as JPEG, and then tried it out. I found it was too small. So I tried to make it bigger on PowerPoint, repeated the process, and it worked. So in other words, do the opposite to what I did second time round!

I've just trying resizing the photo in paint but that didn't work. I've tried doing it in powerpoint but when I inserted the photo it just had the name of the photo and the date - no photo to resize...And as far as I know, we don't have any photo editing software.

I'll find a picture asap, but the 3 cats aren't best of friends. Peach and Apricot are as they are sisters, but Mango was a stray, and has only lived with us for a year or so.

Poor Mango...give him a hug from me...Puff was a stray too. We rescued her 12 years ago. We would love to give another stray cat a home but Puffy doesn't like other cats and we don't want to upset her...

What Nat means by "hahaha" is that grades at university are not A, B, C, D, E etc like school. University is 1st, 2:1 (upper second), 2:2 (lower second) and 3rd.
My sister will graduate next month and on track for a 2:2. So proud... *sob*

Well done to both Nicki and Car Expert in exams. I'm sure you will both have done well.
Katyjay here's your water...seems to be shortage of waiters here again. Maybe Wobby needs to put the wages up by 10% to attract more applicants.
Kettle's on too, and soon be serving teas.
We have fresh scones clotted cream and strawberry jam, and earl grey tea available until the chefs arrive.

I think I have got my predicted grade in French (so far), English Lit, Science (so far), Music.
History and Graphics, ergh, at least I have another History paper.
Maths, it was the hardest thing I have ever done, so they better make the grade boundaries low
