Only another week to go for DD, but I know some of you have two weeks.

A week to go here as well, I so need it to be over and so does DD; she's exhausted. Not eating before the exams is not good either, she refused breakfast again as she feels sick and I doubt she ate lunch either :(

A week and a half here, they finish on the 17th.

DS is in school all day tomorrow for a science and maths revision day. He isn't entirely happy about it but he will go.

Yay! Weekend! Wine
Biology went well here too. We even finished it!

What are your dd's plans for next year Errol?
Sounds like no more school?

dd and I are even going to a concert this evening

Sorry, 'she' sounds rude Blush 'She is the cat's mother,' my mum used to say to me whenever I used it Grin

Is she going to college or sixth form Errol?

TheWordFactory · 05/06/2015 16:27

Yup dropped a car load off after the exams and everyone was laughing, saying 'never have to do biology/spanish/english/whatever again'.

DD thought the biology was good - she was very pleased by the plant hormone one as that was her favourite topic in U1. She said the only one she really didn't know was about how statins work and that was only one mark.

Whether that will balance out her underperformance (relative to target) on the ISA time will tell but quite happy anyway.

She's also pleased that (a) she never needs to do biology again and (b) that she will never need more than 3 pairs of good tights, as she only has 3 pairs she likes and I kept forgetting to get her more. And also that she only has a fortnight more of school shoes!

Another week to go for us too.
Usual report from DD1, that Biology was 'alright' but it was 'a bit hot' in the hall. She's just come home and drunk milk straight from the (6 pint) bottle Shock as she was so thirsty! (I wouldn't normally allow it but she hasn't had anything since before we left at 1pm.)
