I was like a taut elastic band... went to bed at 9.00pm, didn't sleep until 2.30am (at least). so tired, headaches. Went to see M this morning to say 'look... I've all this to do. College can't expect me to do it in my families time'. He said 'okay'. I said 'so long as you know. If I have to do one thing I shan't take the rest home. You can't have your cake and eat it. So long as I've clearly informed you.

Worse last night! I'm so cross with my body. I'm really happy now... Back to teaching. Much better hours but its like its too late. I can't sleep!! Hope this will stop. It's a terrible thing.
