Phew I'm glad this morning is over and done with! I feel shattered but relieved :T.
I got up at 7am and dressed up as Mr Bump. I wore my blue tee shirt and borrowed a blue beanie hat from DS1, then I wrapped white bandages around my tummy and head :rotfl:. It didn't look too bad
Then my college tutor came to school to assess me :eek:. It seemed to go quite well so I think I've passed the assessment. It was a bit nervewracking though, especially when you're dressed as Mr Bump which makes you feel in a silly mood :rotfl:. She said she'll come back and do the second assessment in the summer term.
Then I did my lunchtime job, so a busy day! It was funny seeing lots of princesses, superheroes, Mary Poppins, Verucca Salt, Harry Potter and Miss Trunchball running around the playground :rotfl: :rotfl:.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Smiling at the image of you being assessed while dressed as Mr Bump. Sounds like it was a busy but fun day.
Since having my shopping delivered by Mr T I find going to the supermarket a nice trip out :rotfl: It's nice to have a browse rather than running up and down the aisles.
Do you have a long wait before you find out whether you've passed your assessment or does she give you an indication there and then? xx0 -
Thanks TF2
The teacher was dressed as a scarecrow and the TA was dressed as a caterpillar so I probably looked quite sensible compared to them :rotfl:.
I quite like going to the supermarket as Mr T do a nice latte in their cafe and I like browsing, so I'll definitely treat myself to that in the holdays
.
I think my tutor said the assessment had gone well, but I was a bit nervous so now I'm thinking did she really say that
. So I'm going to ask her for some feedback at the next tutorial in two weeks time. Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

I doubt you imagined the tutor's statement, but I do see that having an assessment in fancy dress would be a bit weird ! Must be difficult to be yourself under the unusual circumstances. Still, when you ask and discover that in fact it did go fine, you can be assured you can cope with anything !!!0
