Hi Alex not sure if you have seen this campaign to submit to the Ofted about getting music properly inspected in schools. But I am sure you would want to fill it in and it closes on the 5th December

You can add your plea for music inspection in Q12
cheers

You talk a lot about your parents being disappointed in you.
I think that sounds like a your-parents problem, not a you problem.

Hi Chev,
Sorry I thought I had responded to this before now.
Thank you for the link.Unfortunately, I know very little about OFSTED and felt unable to provide an informed opinion at this opportunity.

Dear Diary,
An update on the debt situation for anybody interested.
For personal reasons I have failed to meet my target. Looking positively, I haven't spent the money and could still clear the remainder if things work out for the better over the coming few months.
Yours Faithfully,
Alex.2018 totals:

Somehow I still live in hope that you will get over this agonising self loathing. It's not doing you any good at all.
So you set yourself an aspirational target and you've not quite achieved it but you've made the most phenomenal dent in your debt. You'll get there soon and I sincerely hope you'll feel proud and pleased of your achievement. I am.
We've missed you on the other side.:)0 -
When you were a young teenager and received money for your birthday/Christmas present, what did you do with it? Go out looking for something to spend it on or spend a bit, save a bit?0

I have a realistic view of myself based upon experience. Whilst I can see why others may think it is one of "agonising self loathing" that is not the case. How other can someone that has never reached their potential be described?2018 totals:

Spent it and more. I can't remember saving up for anything during my teenage years. When money was received as a gift, I'd usually ask for more from my parents to cover the purchase cost of something I wanted. Often I'd be forced to use my monthly allowance but they'd usually give me the cash to do what I wanted anyway, so no hardship was faced.2018 totals:
