[almostanangel]

dd1 is starting her gcse s today.i have just ordered yellow roses and a teddy bear to be delivered here today which i will put in her bedroom for when she gets home..now im thinking ,,is she going to think me odd? she hasnt done the exams yet ,but i just wanted to say goodluck.

[elliedragon]

I think that is really sweet. She will love it.

[Janh]

That's really sweet, aaa, I bet she will love it. (You are a loon of course but I expect she knows that already )

[chonky]

Nooooo, I think that's a lovely idea. I bet it'll make her feel really grown-up being given posh flowers. Good luck to your dd

[hotmama]

I think that this is a top idea. What a fab mum.

[Gwenick]

That'a a lovely idea, I bet she'll really appreciate it - and as others have said feel 'grown up' getting sent flowers.

[Gwenick]

oh and as for the 'loon' bit........well don't ALL teenagers think their mum's are loons at some point or other

[Hulababy]

I think it is a lovely thought. I am sure she will thnk the same.

[soapbox]

I think thats very thoughtful - I'm sure she will be chuffed to bits

[Lizzylou]

I think thats a lovely thing to do, I remember my Mom buying me flowers when I'd finished my GCSSE's and I felt so grown up!

[yoyo]

She'll be thrilled I'm sure. Is it English today?

[KBear]

She will love it - what a top mum you are! Good luck to all taking their exams - I remember it well. My mum gave me a good luck card that she had cross-stitched - still have it.

[chenin]

What a lovely idea ! I only managed a card but think it was appreciated. Hormone/stress levels very high with DD1 today and english lit paper!

[compo]

you are a top mum my mum bought me a tiny good luck charm to go on a necklace when I was dong my A levels and i wore it to every exam. I was so touched.

[PinkFluffPudding]

That's lovely. Wish my mum had done the same!

[maddiemo]

I think it is lovely. We bought my sds a present when he sat 11+ rather than when he got the result.

I think it lets them know how special they are and that you acknowledge the pressure they are under rather than the test result being the be all and end all.

[Tiggiwinkle]

I am sure she will love it! My DS starts today too-doing English Lit right now!

[lemonice]

I think it's a great idea....what would be suitable for a ds doing AS ...

[almostanangel]

same i think!! everybody loves flowers nd teddys..thanks all i feel good now!
she has english and P E today

[yoyo]

Almostanangel - was it your daughter who was upset a while back and you found it was boy trouble and pressure of exams? One of your first posts? I remember thinking then how caring you were and you have firmly confirmed my initial thoughts. I hope the exams go really well for her and that she has a lovely Summer to relax.

[KBear]

lemonice - what about buying him a CD of his favourite band? Or going out for a curry tonight or something to just ease the pressure (do teenagers want to go out for curries with their parents????) .

[swiperfox]

Aww bless. I reckon she'll love them and you to bits!!

Wish you'd been my Mum!! lol

[almostanangel]

[swiperfox]

[Merlot]

I think that is really lovely angel

[almostanangel]
