Update

Since I last posted on here I have gotten through one of the toughest TMAs to date and passed which I am glad about.
The TMA drove me mad as I was suffering really badly from writers block and what I was actually writing wasn't what I had in my head to write. So I basically wrote a lot of rubbish because what I wanted to write wasn't coming out.
I had such a hard time to write anything at all and I was like 400 words down on it and normally, even if I am stuck, I manage to get over the amount of words you are meant to use but this time I didn't but at least I passed and that is the main thing.
I was getting worried about passing as my TMA was 3 days late in getting back to me and I was in a bit of a panic about it but I got it and opened it straight away and was very happy to see that I HAD PASSED!

I did have a week and a half off after I finished my TMA when I was only planning four days max but I just got out of the routine of studying and now I have gotten back into it by doing some on Friday then over the weekend I didn't do any as I had a bit of a cold and my head hurt too much to do any. Now Today I am back on my study and have done just over an hour and will be going back to it very soon to do enough to fill five pages of A4 paper, with answers to the questions in the exercises, and that might take a while to do as there is a lot of reading as well as the exercises but once I have filled the five pages I have run out of A4 paper and can't do anymore to I have another book of A4 paper which I am hoping will be Wednesday.

Even though I won't be studying because lack of paper it doesn't mean that I won't be doing anything as my dad is working on a set of accounts and I said that I will work on them this week so I can earn myself a bit of money. So he is giving them for me to finish them off and earn some money for the weekend.
I don't know how much work there is for me to do but I would say that there will be a lot for me to do and to keep me busy for a few days but I don't mind doing it as it isn't too hard.

I have to get the house in a tidy shape too as I have let it go a bit over the past month. There was a time when I was doing at least an hours worth of cleaning a day to keep on top of it but I haven't been able to do any because I have been lazy. I know that isn't a good excuse but at least I am being honest there.
I have actually done about forty minutes worth of cleaning so far today and I can see myself doing more before the day is out.

I might not of mentioned it in any previous posts yet but Mr D will be down this weekend. Well on Friday. He is at Summer School in Edinburgh at the moment but when it finishes on Friday at lunch time he will be getting a train down to Preston and then riding his bike from Preston to Blackburn to come and stay for five days and four nights.
He will be staying here as he is a bit cheap and doesn't want to pay for a hotel though he didn't mind that at first but then I said my dad might let him stay here and he pinned all his hopes on that. Well actually if I am honest he put it as set in stone that he could stay here even though I did say to him that there was a massive chance that he wouldn't be able to stay here.
Anyway I told him that my dad is likely to say no and he didn't seem to take that too well and got in a grumpy mood with me when there was no need what-so-ever to do that. It is because he seems to not to like to spend his money and neither did my last BF who was also Scottish. I am not saying that all Scottish men are like that but the ones I have known are like that.
Anyway as I said he was bang out of order because I never said he would be allowed to stay here for sure and him being him thought he would be able to no problem.
Anyway I pushed the subject with my dad and he said that he could stay here and I told Mr D and he came across not too thankful even though I had explained the chances of staying here as slim to nil so it really pissed me off when he didn't seem to thankful for it. I just don't think he understands my dad and this whole situation and if he listened to all that I say to him when I explain things then he may of been a lot more thankful and grateful for being allowed to stay here.
Next was the situation of where he was going to sleep. Well it isn't and wasn't going to be in my room with me. No way!
So I told him we didn't have any spare beds or anything for him to sleep on and that he might have to buy a camp bed or a fold down bed or something. I explained we had nothing and that seen as he was saving over £100 on the hotel then £25 for a fold down bed isn't that expensive. But he had other ideas and made it clear that he would be sleeping on the sofa.
Well there you go...Wellll I knew the second he said that he was determined to sleep on it no matter what and no matter what I said to him he didn't listen.
I told him that (a) the sofa is too small for him as when I lie on it my feet hang over the end and he is 6 inches tallers than me (b) the sofa isn't at all comfy enough to sleep on as I tried and spent 90% of the night fully awake (C) it is a sofa and maybe one night on the sofa every now and then is ok but not three nights on the run.
To (a) he didn't seem to want to listen to or take in what I was saying about it being to short for him to lie on. To (b) he said he can sleep anywhere, even on things that are not comfy and I told him that if I can't fall asleep on it then there is no chance that he will be able to do so either. To (c) he seemed to not take in the fact that it is a sofa first and foremost and that is where we have to sit. It is not for sleeping on and it woulf only be ok for one night for someone to sleep on as a last choice really.
He got really irritated at that and I could tell he was really pissed off. I think he is so used to being able to do what he wants to do ancompromisese is not in his nature. I too am used to doing what I want to do but I know how tcompromisese and not tell people what I will be doing and where I will be sleeping in their house.
Me and my dad talked about the sofa issue and he agreed with what I said and when I told Mr D he seemed pissed off with me about it and was grumpy with me over it which I really didn't deserve and if hcarriesys on being like that when he doesn't get his own way or for the numerous other ways he takes his grumpy mood out on me for then I won't have anything to do with him as I am not here for that kind of shit off anyone.
Anyway I said he will have to get something to sleep on as I have nothing here and the sofa is out of bounds for anything other than sitting on.
He then agreed to buy a air bed when he came down here only to find out his dad had one. Well to save money he was going to borrow that and take it all the way to Edinburgh on his bike and then on the train down to Preston and then on his bike from Preston to my house.
Now if that isn't being (a) stupid (b) cheap (c) childish then I don't know what is as he was going to have to drag it round with him all over the place so he didn't have to buy anything to sleep on. Now that is cheap and it pissed me off and I was a bit grumpy with him for once not that anyone would notice as he had been in a grumpy mood for days and was being a right idiot with me for no reason and even denied doing it when I told him how badly he was treating me. I then did get a perfectic appogee about it a few days later but I should of ended it there and then as he was being so off with me for no reason and blamed his mood on his daughter yet he wouldn't tell me what she was of meant to have done to get him in that mood.
Anyway I knew my brother had an air bed from a conversation with my mum and I didn't really want to tell BD that I knew someone with one as I am sick to death of him being cheap and having to have everything his way ( u can tell he has been single for a long time as he iextremelyly selfish and child like) so I did say a day before he left for Summer School that I knew someone who had one but I had to ask first and to hold off the plans of ordering one online whilst I found out if I could borrow one.
So my brother said yes and Mr D didn't even ask me the answer as he took it as he would be able to borrow one before I even said I could and that annoyed me as I said I might not be able to so yet again he was way out of order. But when I told him my brother was lending me one he did seegratefulul for once but that was because I had saved him £25 and his attitude is annoying me and I don't care who reads this as I know he will but I am telling him this to his face. Oh and another things that annoys me is the fact he thinks he is always right and hates to be told he isn't and I will tell him how I feel about all these things that have gone on and he will be in a grumpy mood with me because of it and be nasty to me. I don't know why he gets this way but I am sick of it.... 100% sick of it.....
