My revision book has arrived, and it’s over an inch thick. I have 5 days – that’s only 111 pages per day.

However, today I have to go to Chesterfield and take Big to ballet, as well as the usual household stuff.

Tomorrow I don’t *think* I have anything else planned (exam is now Tues).

Sat I’m going to M’hell to shop for Big’s bridesmaid’s dress for my sister’s wedding in August. I also need to get to Lidl as they are doing some stuff *really* cheap this weekend that I want for the summer. So realistically I’m going to struggle to do 100 pages that day.

Sunday is clear I think.

Monday is unfortunately hectic. I’m meeting Feminist Parents for coffee in the morning, and then it’s Puddlers in the afternoon. I’m going to struggle to do *anything* that day!

Which is rather a shame as Tues is the exam 🙁

I’ve got to aim to do this in three days – 150 pages a day. Oh, and to add to the challenge (look away if you’re squeamish) I think my period is starting.

Wish me luck.

  1. good luck with it 🙂 I won’t request to see you before next Tuesday then 😉 And you don’t *have* to go to Puddlers you know, it’s not law 😉 Actually not sure if we’ll be there either, will have to wait and see.
    Take care of yourself and speak soon

  2. Good Luck!

  3. look on the positive side, at least you won’t be having a period at hesfes!

  4. you could send me your Lidl list, I could pick the stuff up for you tomorrow afternoon. Done my shopping this morning, it’s quite near us, saw all the garden stuff.

  5. My remark was going to be the same as Sarah!

  6. You don’t have to try to do everything.
    Get Tim to “go to Chesterfield and take Big to ballet, as well as the usual household stuff.”
    Skip the Monday meets and either get Tim to take sprogs out or decamp yourself to the library.
    If you need to pass the exam, other things can be bumped down the priority list. If space can’t be made now, how are things going to work once you’re out at work?
    See this stuff is easy if it’s not being applied to me :S

  7. I wish *I* could make that assumption. Last week makes no apparent difference to the opportunities for next week. Sigh. Good luck with the exam, though.
