Well, my mum's still mad at me, I'm still getting slowly crushed by homesickness and I've lost a bunch of pyjamas, but I had some good weather, had some good food and blew a bit of Mum's money, and I haven't lost a single day of deposits.
I'm not sure at all when I'm going home, unfortunately, but part of me suspects Mum's gonna be forced to go home by the weekend, either from her knee injury (which she got yesterday), from running out of cash, or from something else. Tomorrow, she's planning to go to Oban.
