Been revising hard again today. Well.. hard-ish. You know that feeling you get when you aren't feeling so positive about the outcome, and you know however much work you put it, it's something that's just not going to go well? Yeah, I had that. So I didn't revise as hard as I probably could, but I think it was enough. I will revise a bit later, too, and sleep with my notes under my pillow. I always do that. Hasn't done any harm yet, so!

Watching Deal Or No Deal at the moment. Love this show, I can't get enough. It's addictive! I usually just watch it while I revise, but with no sound. Don't really need sound. But as soon as it gets to 16:50, the sound comes on and I sit glued to my seat to see what the poor old person won, or in most cases, could have won if they'd gone on. Never know what I'd do on this show. There's a fine line between sensible and greedy. Most of these people cross the line and it backfires. Some people just get lucky.

The picture is of my Psychology revision sheet that I did, on the topic of Social Influence. It's actually interesting. Hard work, and lots of key studies to remember, but I like it. Sometimes. Other times it gets on my nerves.

Faith has her SATS this week. Literacy and Numeracy, bless her. It's a big change when you hit high school, going from Literacy to English, and Numeracy to Maths. Although it's weird, Faith finishes school at 3:25 every day? The latest I finish college is 2:50? Most days I finish at 1:05. Strange how things seem to get easier as you grow up, but the time spent in your place of learning is so much harder.

DOND is getting closer to the finish. This is getting tense now.

Ah I so hope I do well in my exams. I have 8 exams, and finish on May 29th, but I have study leave until June 12th which is nice. Couple of weeks of rest after my exams, few parties, work on the odd day. Unfortunately the children will be on holiday, so I won't get to see them, but then Faith's party is a week after they get home, so.. Oliver will turn 3 while they're away which is sad, but there's always next year.. And the year after that.. And all the years after that, too.

Mum's gone away for the night, so I have to cook for myself. Think I might have Chicken Dippers, Potato Waffles and lots of vegetables. Need to lose a lot of weight. Starting my cereal diet. Again.. And my body wraps. Hopefully I will be skinny for Summer. Going to South Africa WOO. Cannot wait. Going to take lots of books and puzzles for the plane, my iPod and probably a few photos.  Not sure about my phone. Probably not, really. I'll end up using it and come home with a phone bill for about £800! Never ideal.

Awww this little cutie on DOND! Took a deal that included £1000 for his new friend when he could have taken a higher amount all for himself. Adorable.

Can't wait to have a bath, wash my hair and do a bit of fake tan again tonight. Feel like I need to be bronzed to be happy. Maybe I can trick myself into thinking I've been on holiday?

I like this blogging stuff, it's fun. Nice to put down all my thoughts and feelings, it helps get it out.

Right, I'd best go and get reading again.

Wish me luck!
