Phew! ds1 finished yesterday too. ds2 has been doing GCSEs too and they both had very early and very late exams in the schedule. So between them have had 36 examination papers over the past 7 weeks...!

I need a drink.

Phew - well done to those who had to stick it through to the bitter end! Now relax Grin

Dd missed her prom last night as she has a horrible cold and had a bout of dizziness which kept her awake all of Tuesday night. She was very worried that she was going to get labyrinthitis again but I am hoping it is just because her head was all bunged up. Since she had labyrinthistis in Y11 she does have a tendency towards dizziness as a symptom when she is ill. She seemed a lot better towards the end of yesterday but she would not have been well enough to go out. She wasn't too bothered as they had a prom in Y11 as well.

They did the double decker bus thing for the Y11 prom - it picked lots of them up from a pre-prom party that all the parents attended as well so we were able to get photos. It was lovely. It is an indication of how unfussed they all were about this prom that none of them had booked any transport and were all using parents and taxis!

Happy holidays all!

Miffy - cheers, it's a good feeling, isn't it? Smile

Well done to those just crossing the finishing line. Just dropped DS off at school as they had hired a red double decker bus to take them all to the prom venue. Feeling a bit maudlin now.

Well done Horsemad's DS - I think everyone is finished now Grin

Horsemad · 24/06/2015 16:34

That's it, we are finished, woohooooooooo! Grin

Took DS for lunch then a rabies jab and an ice cream and he's now plugged in to his PC, so I'll not hear from him now until he wants feeding again Wink

Exam was fine he said, so that is that Smile

Thanks all for putting up with me Smile you are all brilliant. Flowers

Apologies Littleham - won't mention it again

Prom next week here. Much lower key that in yr11, also different school but even so Dd Won't wear same dress or shoes. Still waiting for my orders on how many I am likely to be driving there and back.

Horsemad · 24/06/2015 10:41

Thanks for all the good wishes, these threads have preserved my (borderline) sanity these past few months! Grin

Mindgone · 24/06/2015 10:34

Best of luck Horsemad, hope it goes well! I can't believe its only a week since DS finished, feels like much longer!

Best of luck to the DC on the last day of exams - sighs of relief all round.

Hope the Proms go well. DD had hers at end of year 11 and 6th Form doesn't have anything. Nevertheless she has been socialising with friends every day since Friday.

hellsbells99 · 24/06/2015 07:44

Hope the last exam goes well Horsemad!

GypsyFloss · 24/06/2015 07:38

Horsemad · 24/06/2015 07:32

Horsemad · 24/06/2015 07:03
