Hiya everybody!

Sorry that I've been a bit of a rare face around here recently. And before you ask - no, I haven't got fed up with any members at all, it's just been a bit manic lately, and I apologise for kind of disappearing with no warning!

As I'm sure many of you are finding, it's getting extremely close to my exams - for me anyway, with some having already taken place e.g. German, Geography and ICT and many more in the near future. So, as you can imagine I've been putting in some last-minute unearthy hours of revision, hence I've found it difficult to keep up online!

As many of you will quite rightly point out, this isn't the way to go about revision, and so I've created a scheduled timetable from now on! This might seem strangely organised for me, but it means I spend designated time on each subject in turn once I've completed my homework, meaning I still have time in the evenings to do what I want and chat to you guys!

I realise it might seem quite extreme to be apologising for simple things like this, but you've all become such great mates over the past god-knows-how-long, that I feel I owe you an explanation. Plus, good luck to anyone who'll be in the same situation as me now or in the future, and if anyone needs a chat - I'm here for you all!

Now this'll seem a bit hypocritical, but I have to nip off and finish an English essay for tomorrow, but I'll be seeing you all soon!

Tom.

I nkow how you feel. My exams are in a month! Im crapping myself

Good luck with the exams Tom. I've not been able to get on much recently either but for different reasons just over a week ago my mum fell from the top of the stairs and I found her at the bottom of the stairs unconscious in a pool of blood so I called for an ambulance and she stayed in hospital for most of last week but she's home now, she's got a broken cheekbone and fractured the back of her skull so I've been looking after her. On the day of the accident my mum had left a pan on without me realising and after a few hours up at the hospital my next door neighbour turned up in A and E and told us that they had to call the fire brigade as they had heard the fire alarm and seen smoke, luckily the fire brigade caught it in time but it there's been a bit of damage in the kitchen that's being fixed and also the whole house stunk of smoke for days, my dog was still in the house when the fire happend so my next door neighbour took her in but their German shephard got out and attacked my dog and bit her three times and damaged her ribs.

So all in all a nightmare day and that's why I've not been around as much.

OMG Dan - I heard that your mum had had an accident as you told me the other day on MSN. I bet it was a shock to find her like that and I'm sorry to hear everything else that happened.
