We went out for dinner last night and the DC were on surprisingly good form.

They said they wished the exams had been closer together and they were finished now; half term has been 'torture'.

But apart from that they chatted happily about the summer holiday plans, sixth form ( DS is enjoying his position as resident expert on the school) and university.

Errol, that's good - I found the Decathlon age 14 to be like a size 10 and wore quite a bit of age 14 stuff when I was a less menopausal shape, despite being tall!

Bearleigh, he feels Scouse because he IS Scouse - see Aunt P's postSmile

Best accent and sense of humour in the world.

What is it about MN, GCSEs & Liverpool? DH was born there and feels Scouse though they moved away when he was 12. He supports Liverpool too.

DH, Ddog and I went for the day to some nice gardens leaving DD to finish her geography revision - she won't contemplate any time off. She did at least find time to try on her wetsuits and apparently they still fit - age 14.

On the upbeat side of things all I hear from teachers, grandparents, other people is 'isn't she lovely, polite, well behaved....'

So the troll behaviour is saved up for home and exams.

Littleham · 30/05/2015 22:21

grumpy, demotivated, pale, likely-to-fly-off-the-handle, a total bore to live with!

Snap ginandtonic. May I add for dd3 - stroppy, surly, lethargic, red rimmed eyes, spiky, think sodium and water combined in a BIG way!

Please, please, please can we all swap children? I'll take the other one in the south west if you will take mine. Am willing to pay.

Woolly, I think I must have gone in 85 or 86. In Sheffield.

Had a lovely chatty dinner out with DD, who was also thinking about prezzies - wine/chocs/flowers! HSM, did your DH give you the ideas for your prezzies?

dingit · 30/05/2015 20:34

Just one thing to say to you lot. ARSENAL!

Not really can't ruddy stand the game Smile

TheWoollybacksWife · 30/05/2015 20:02

My first date with DH was an away day to watch Coventry v Liverpool at Highfield Rd Grin

He bought us tickets for Liverpool v Sheffield Wed for my 21st - and splashed out for the main stand. I knew then he was a keeper. I have always been a red but have had to develop an interest in Rugby League since dating a Wool.

Am also a scouser but left when I was 5.Went back for university though and regularly used to get burgled by a local scally/boy who I'm pretty certain called himself Emlyn Hughes ( edge of Toxteth).

I was born a scouser, but rapidly removed I'm afraid.

So this is a thread for real and honorary scousersGrin.

Screw the exams, let's talk about possible summer signings and ignore how bloody brilliant Sanchez is ( he should have come to Anfield).

dd went out with a friend for a bit this afternoon - yay!
Had a walk round the lake in nearby country park and saw some cute animals - stars of a local Green festival
Am so pleased, it's done her the world of good to get some fresh air see a friend and do something - just about the only time she's been out this week

She's now taken some choc chip cookies and a drink upstairs and says yes doing History but also English for Tuesday

The boys are watching football. dd said "Football's sooo boring - it's been on half an hour and they haven't even started!" (perhaps it has now?)

Not as boring as this half-term hey?! Grin

TheWordFactory · 30/05/2015 18:44

What a shit season though!
I'm glad we didn't make it through to the FA cup; being spanked by the gunners is no way to spend a Saturday afternoon !

auntpetunia · 30/05/2015 18:39

Red red and red again. My primary school was by Melwood during the 70s we saw lots of the players. Emlyn Hughes etc. Now Stevie G and Jamie Carregher live round the corner from me.
DS is away with scouts for the weekend so doubt any revision is being done.

TheWordFactory · 30/05/2015 18:26

I bloody love Tunnocks.

bigTillyMint · 30/05/2015 18:19

Irn bru and tunnocks cakes Grin
