    This was the third unit to reach Level1. I don't know whether it is getting harder or there's a personal vendetta against our teacher. She looked quite crestfallen.

    That seems odd, the teachers would normally have a rough idea of what the exam entails, and if she was crestfallen then it does seem they have thrown something new into the mix!

    Feeling pretty tearful today...possibly just because I'm so tired...bloody knackered really.

    My dad has tried to ring me yesterday (starts welling up) and today and I just don't need any more lectures on how much money I owe him. I'm just dtressed knowing he is trying to ring me!!!

    Right lets focus on getting through the next two days. At least the list of jobs is getting shorter!

    Have got home and feeling a bit calmer.
    Have three rooms in the garage and effectively have one and a half to paint. Is definately do-able.

    Heard a quote a while ago that really resonated with me and explained why my house is a little sanctuary. Apologies if I have already told you this;

    'If home is where the hurt is, where is safe?' The need to keep myself safe is definately a re-occuring theme in my life. Wonder if that is EVER going to resolve itself.
