    It's probably polite to wait and see whether I have failed. I didn't ask the teacher ANY questions which is a big NO NO...but thenwhen did the last rabbit in your headlights remember to do anything?!!

    It was horrendous knit witch. I was expecting three options of which one would be 'talk' for 5 minutes on your journey to work. I was going to talk about walking past a school, a church, through a park, seeing dogwalkers and ducks, going into Sainsburys to get my lunch, walking past the prison, going into McDonalds to get my breakfast...

    What did I get?
    'How does the weather affect your routine?'
    !!!!!! I don't even know the sign for routine!

    So we'll wait and see.

    One good thing from yesterday, I put my PPI claim into Capital One. I think that's about the only one I've got.

    Until last term I think the success rate was about 100%. Last term three people failed and had to resit. The questions seem to have got harder.
