    Home! Just had a shower and having an early dinner as I have company this evening. Also discovered meatballs and lingonberry jam is nice, as is lingonberry jam on rye crispbreads with peanut butter (went to IKEA) Also spent 30 on some new shoes and Converse (at last!) but it's been rush rush rush....

    I think it went okay, 40% will get me a Grade 4 pass which is fine but anything above that is a bonus :) Won't hear until 17th December though!
