    our kittens are loopy too - if only I had a fraction of their energy.......and the ability, like them, to curl up and sleep when the fancy took me!!

    Have a good day, everyone x

    morning all - I'll be working too (when I'm more awake!) on AQA.

    OH staggered in at 4.30, freezing cold after his normal post-drinking walk back, muttering that he was going to come home at 9.30...........ookkkkkkkkk.........I said, because I only dropped you off at 8.30!!!

    Maybe it was a bit later than that he slurred..........:rolleyes:

    Feel quite 'sludgy' today, I'm guessing its just bad hayfever but it feels more a cold.

    I have horrible itchy eyes Keren - think that could be hayfever related. It's raining here though so shouldn't be so bad today.

    I'm the only one not working today then... off to the gym in a bit then back to do some ebaying!

    Morning all!
    I'm on tenterhooks today because all the dental nurses in year 2 of my course are sitting their final exams today, a WHOLE DAY of exams!
    2 hour written, (MCQ and part B Essay questions)
    spotter test (correctly identifying instruments)
    Practical test (mixing dental cement, impression material and selecting instruments for certain procedures)
    Oral test (questioned by 2 examiners about any aspect of the syllabus)

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
