I will be bottling up my gooseberry wine this weekend. I meant to do it last week but it went out of my mind with all the hassle of getting things back in place after the new windows were fitted. I’ll also have to get to grips with the next to modules for the SVQ, another thing that got forgotten about. I was only reminded of that when the examiner turned up at work on Monday. To be fair I didn’t know when he was due back at the work as he didn’t say last time but I wasn’t expecting to see him again until the end of next month as that was what some of my fellow workers’ thought. He didn’t even say when he would be back on Monday so he could turn up anytime so I’m in for some more frustrating study. It isn’t like it is hard. If anything it is overly simple to the point that you are left feeling that the answer to the questions can’t be right as it seem more like common sense. This causes me to doubt that it could be the right answer. So I end up re-reading through the module looking to find the correct reply which of course I can’t find because I already have it. You can see why it’s so frustrating. Well no use in moaning about as I still need to get it done.
Teen angst has filled my house this week in the form of my daughter Tammy. She thinks that I put my son first in everything. This came even after she got the cash out of me to go to the cinema with her friends last weekend. What did Calum get? Nothing. Well he is seventeen in just over a month and gets his own money for staying on at school. In the past I always gave to both equally so I was taken by surprise by her outburst. Really I’m hoping she doesn’t truly believe it and hoping it is just her way of expressing her teenage rebellion. If so I’ll be luckier than some…
