I'd forgotton that I got a rollocking off ATC within 5 mins of taking off for not answering their calls, at which point I resigned myself to having failed and chilled out for the rest of the time...thought of it as a rehersal for the next time...turns out I hadn't fluffed it after all, he just said ATC was a crabby git and I'd done well not to shout back at him.
