you know its revision time when

[bruffin]

you open the fridge and there are yellow postit notes with maths formulae stuck to the cheese box.

[MarjorieAntrobus]

and then you get so used to revision notes blutacked all over the place that they stay up for months, until a visitor asks why and you realise you've stopped seeing them.

[bruffin]

Oh yes
Think there's one stuck on the front door for months

[mrsjay]

they have bits of paper all over the place and you can't throw anything out

[Mrsrobertduvall]

You have had to buy loads of jotters from Smiths so she has a revision note book for EVERY subject.

Sales of highlighters and coloured pens escalate.

[landofsoapandglory]

You trip over exercise books, revision guides and A4 files in every single room!

You go to the supermarket and you get a text for more pens, post it notes and highlighters!

Cheryl Cole posters are covered in post it notes!

[mrsjay]

they come in from school saying OMG OMG OMG it is only 2 weeks to the exam leave I bought post its and new pens in morrisons last night and those arrow place marker things

[webwiz]

DS cannot carry out any household tasks, no matter simple, because he's revising

[Startail]

When the scarf DD1 is knitting suddenly gets longer or drawings appear on her chair.

To be fair brightly coloured mind maps of relevant facts appear too!

[mrsjay]

dd can't possibly walk the dog AT ALL on exam leave ok then dearie we will see

[Lucycat]

when I start to get panicked emails from my A level students who haven't done a thing all year.... but now realise that maybe a revision guide and a decent set of notes would have been a good idea after all

[Mrsrobertduvall]

Oh yes the chores.
dd can't possibly empty the dishwasher for the foreseeable future.

[OddBoots]

Oh mrsjay, you need to tell your dd that dog walking is part of revision.
