Thursday 23rd February

A sleepy start to the day after last night, and the disappointment of receiving a rejection letter from RADA for eldest.  She seems to have taken it very well, and we knew that it was a next to impossible school to get into, but all the same, I feel for her.  It has struck me today that I am a year younger than I thought I was.  This is very worrying, as I think I may have been telling people that I am 46, when in fact, that doesn't happen until this weekend.  I had to double check, seriously.  The joy of finding that I had a year in hand, was tempered very slightly by the fact that clearly my brain is not what it once was.  I even looked it all up on an online birthdate calculator to double check...I have lived for nearly 17000 days....that is quite some achievement for me....no wonder I am knackered.  In the evening, we did an after school club, a session, and I watched Question time.  I felt like screaming at the idiots telling us that bankers bonuses could be justified, but young people on the workfare scheme should be happy to receive no pay from the likes of Tescos, as it was at least giving them some experience. The worrying thing is how few people seem to feel that this is unjustifiable nonsense.
