Was meant to be in court today but it was cancelled to give a Junkie another chance to plea Guilty or not what i found odd. Anyway decided to build an add on to the shed and put the Fazer away for the winter. Still to felt the roof and probably just chippy stone the floor but its out of sight and the elements. Yes i am missing a third hinge

From your posts on this course, you will pass because of your work and determination. And despite the instructors ...

Good luck!

This exam is a bit weird but the bonus is that if we mess up the written bit, we can ‘correct’ it in the verbal session this afternoon! I’m better at the chat than written stuff 🤣🤣

But thank you for saying that

Well bloody hell what an incredibly stressful day!!

Most of it was waiting around :( Which is stressful in itself! All bastard day for a 3 hour exam! Which finished over an hour after it should have! LOL

The bit I was really worrying about I did almost perfectly, BUT - Forgot to put the hazards on whilst doing the manoeuvre :( But the actual manoeuvre itself was pretty much perfect!!

I so so need a massive glass of dark rum and an even more massive hug. But I'm sat on a hotel bed having eaten some chicken and coleslaw and drinking what seems to be the closest thing to an alcopop. Supposedly it is flavoured like Genepi but tastes more like cheap gin! LOL I only bought one, probably a good thing!! I have a tube of pretend Pringles, so comfort eating my way through the time till I fall asleep! LOL

Anyway - lots of stupid errors. It's not an exam in that I can fail, but I need more 'favourable' than 'defavourable' to get the FIMO and my carte pro. They seemed to be pretty happy overall. I think they get that I was stressed to hell and it's all so much more difficult not in your native language. But I'm not totally sure it's enough. Hey ho

So, I'm still stressed and comfort eating!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mind, my favourite instructor did just text to ask what I'm doing and if I'm at home!! :lol :lol: - I'm not, but I also know he's working until 9pm, so he's asking a silly question! LOL ! but it's funny cos he wrote it in English!! :lol: :lol:

Its a shared green :lol: Downstairs is the left of the path but funny you should say that is you can just make out to the left of the shed and a few feet forward a fresh laid whirligig stand/hole thing.
