I ended up working seven days in a row, as circumstances are conspiring again. I think I've lost the girl I spent time training last month, but I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt at the moment. However, as I don't have to study at the moment it's ok. I make more money this way... but I'm getting behind in the Christmas preparations, never my strong suit at the best of times.

wrote the exam. wasn't too bad. now I just have to get through Christmas at the mall.

Mum has gone to England, as Grannie has been ill and hasn't been getting out of bed any more. I've refused to discuss Christmas plans, as since Roy is coming after Christmas, Mum wants to wait Christmas until then. I don't want to explain this to the kids...
