You are now binding a new value to the name self. You are
overwriting the name. When LoadMyDate is executed, a reference
to the object is copied: the reference that the caller uses
still exists, and doesn't change.

You either want to try something like:
    * return self(m[:4], m[4:6], m[6:8])
    * or self.month = m[...] etc.

To see how the second should be done, you'd need to know what
names the date class uses to store the month, etc. internally.

Succes!

yours,
Gerrit.
