Only another half hour til we can officially pick up pads/pens/laptops.

Anyone else got that nervous squidgy feeling in the pits of their stomachs? Or is that just the banana & pilchard stew I had for tea?

Calm? CALM?! I have been running laps around my tiny kitchen like a derranged hamster to stop myself going completly insane.

Well, that and planning a November 30th drinking (binge) celebration with one of my friends.

TEN MINUTES OH GOD.

... I never said I worked well under pressure...

One minute. Is it too late to realise I am apparently completely insane and have no idea why I signed up for this?

It's fine. The reason is you are insane and that's fine. Just go with it. (not necessarily sound psychiatric advice, but it's so far mostly worked for me).

Just starting off. My 'office'/living room is full of sleeping ladies so I've had to nab a laptop and move into the bedroom to begin.

A few minutes more faff on the internet and I start writing, I swear it'll only be a few more minutes.
