Unfortunately the first test run didn't go to plan at all.
It took me till 1am to get to sleep from all the excitement - and then I woke up at 6.30am having to wait until 7.15 for the big moment.
When it finally came, it turned out that I'd added far too much milk and only placed a tea bag in one of the two available baskets...what's more, Smooth FM clicked on and Jamie Cullen was the morning accompaniment to a cup of tea that tasted like dish water.
I've learned from my mistakes and aim to perfect the art by Monday.
