The end of a stressful week!

Well, this has been a very hormonal household this week - Nick has been at RAF Cranwell all week, and Polly has had a full week of Year 6 SATS exams to sit. I am now shattered, having woken up at 4am every morning wondering how Nick has been getting along! The good news is that, out of 27 candidates who arrived for officer selection training on Monday, Nick was one of only 10 who made it through to the end of the week. He has passed all the tests, medicals, aptitude tests, exercises and interviews, and we now have to wait a further 3 or 4 weeks to find out if he was good enough to be offered a commission as a pilot officer with the RAF. I hope my nerves will stand the wait, never mind Nicks!
Polly is now glad to have her brother back home, and equally happy to have finished her exams too. She goes away for a 4 day school trip tomorrow to Bamburgh, and is both excited at the thought of her first holiday away from us, and nervous at how she will cope without us for so long! I am sure she will be fine. Meanwhile, it is very strange to have both of our children soundly asleep so early on a Friday evening!
