On catching up with last week's news and reading the headline "6/06/06 not so beastly", I thought my experience might make people smile.

On that day, at the age of 52, I was taking my first-ever exam in life - my GCSE English.

I was very nervous but tried to tell myself to relax and do my best.

I hadn't really taken a lot of notice of the date until it was mentioned when I was given my student reference number - 6666.

I mean, what a way to put the mockers on a person.

I now await results with two things in mind. Was it a good omen or bad? We shall see.
