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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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!

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

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

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

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