Mum declared that I didn’t have to do any of the washing up or chores while I was studying for my exams. Claire was livid and said that she hadn’t got out of the chores when she was doing her GCSE’s, but mum told her it was because she refused to study. I am still laughing at the look on Claire’s face, she was gulping like a goldfish trying to think of something to say, but couldn’t manage it. I think Mum felt a bit mean because she blushed and walked off.
