Feeling pretty pleased with myself today. It\'s Saturday, the whole weekend\'s ahead of me and I don\'t care that it\'s chucking it down and really cold (quite enjoying being able to wear my big winter coat ).

Revision went well yesterday, think I may even scrape a pass in Thursday\'s exam. I was working through the collection classes yesterday and was quite impressed with what I remembered. Was even more impressed that the chapters that made absolute no sense back when I was studying them are actually now quite understandable. So far I\'ve been concentrating on the Smalltalk side of things, hopefully I\'ve revised the right bits. Brackets, unary, binary, keywords - precedence. etc etc. Next week I need to look back on the design bits. It was the design I was most shaky on but I\'m hoping that because we learnt it last most of it will be stuck up in my brain somewhere. We shall see.

I\'m also pretty pleased with myself because I managed to get Andrew back in his cot after a night feed last night, something nobody else has managed before It was Rosemary\'s 21st birthday yesterday so she was out for the night (due back soon) and mum and I were left in charge of the baby. Both were hoping he would sleep through but Andrew had other ideas and woke up at 12. An hour, a bottle and the biggest burp I\'ve ever heard (even out did Rose!) later, I was stood for 10 minutes leaning over the cot with him clamped to my thumb. It did the trick though. Slept through til 8:15, record, result, everybody happy

Kinda aiming for a chill out weekend although how successful that will be remains to be seen. The Grandparents are down tomorrow for a birthday visit which will no doubt be hectic. That\'s, uhm, (4, 5, 7, 9) 8 people and a high chair to fit around the table for lunch, interesting...
