Finishing year 13 in 2017

Uh oh - DD texted to say C4 hardest paper yet.

dingit Thinking of you and know how you must feel.

Lets hope all goes well with C4. dd is sitting the OCR board.

Thanks dingit (and Teta for the flowers ) I am ok; got to have an MRI this afternoon but all should be well, fingers crossed.

Just dropped DS at school. He is not looking forward to C4. He expected C3 to be the easier out of the two and as he had such a miserable time with that one he is automatically assuming C4 will be worse.

We didn't speak much on the journey, I have said all the usual platitudes, so hopefully some of it will sink in!

It is all systems go after his exam.

Got to choose uni accommodation!! - must be done by 30/6.

Needs a suit for Leavers' Ball.

Needs to open a current account

Needs holiday insurance and clothes, etc. Departs next Sunday.

Nothing like leaving stuff to the last minute, is there...

Thoughts to all still going through the A level maelstrom - this too shall pass

Dd is dreading c4. She has chemistry and physics next week.

At the moment I'm not planning to fly out, my sister is with them fortunately.

Thanks for your support.

Oh Dingit I'm sorry you have had bad news today.Im sure your father will be being well cared for.Will you fly out there?How many more exams does your dd have?
Horsemad.
Anyone else's Dd terrified at the thought of the Maths C4 today?

Sorry to hear that horse. I hope all is well now x

Really feel for you dingit, I've undergone some health tests (ultrasound and biopsy) throughout DS's exams which I hadn't anticipated needing and it has been stressful making sure he didn't find out to avoid any worries/distractions for him.

I hope your Dad responds to treatment. Big hugs. X

She knows something's up. The phone went at 6 this morning. I told her their flight has a really long delay and they need me to feed the cat. She heard me say hospital ( sharp hearing, as we are a floor above her). I said grandad feels poorly, and has gone to see the ships doctor before they fly ( they are on a cruise).
Just heard again, think he's got pneumonia and his heart is struggling too

oh dingit, well done for holding it together till you'd got DD off to school.

dingit. Are you going to have to fly out there?

That was all wrong. Df ( her grandad) has gone to hospital.

Disaster here this morning. Just received phone call to day my dd has been taken to hospital seriously ill. They are in Corfu, due to fly home this morning. Haven't told dd, I'm packing her off to school and then coming home to sob, I feel so far away and helpless.

I have just ironed DS's last ever school shirt - it is the end of an era!

Teta
You can be my mn twin, trust me you wouldn't want to be my real life identical twin.
Dd is going to the German equivalent of Magaluf , so something else to worry about.

Dd also off to Majorca with her friends Dingit, but setting off on Saturday.She's also trying to eat healthily for her.new bikini and yes I bought a pair of earrings for a exam present.
Are we twins?
Congratulations to your dd Btm!
Well done on surviving A levels.
Errol your dd is normally so calm and rational, a slight wobble is completely normal.Can we name the next thread ' coddling the Molly' ?
Just love it.

Ah, no she has chemistry, not biology!

Dd has the same exams as your ds Liney. She is still very down since c3
She has her prom Friday, and off to Majorca on Sunday with her school chums. She just need to forget exams until results day.

I nearly lost my mind today. Stress upon stress. DS has maths tomorrow, then biology Monday and physics Thursday. He's feeling the pressure now, but working hard. Very proud of him.

I think next Friday is his Big Night Out. His group of friends are all 18 now luckily.

DD is finished and is off out clubbing tonight with her fake ID and her friend who gave it to her (provisional) unless she can procure another from a different friend who hasn't finished yet!

Good luck to all those still revising, and to all the mums ministering unto them!

DD slept for 11 hours straight last night, which is unheard of (not even when she was little)

Hi motherstongue - where have you been! Very best of luck to your DS for his last few papers. Glad history went well for him today

DS has recovered his equilibrium and seems fine today.

We are going out for dinner on Friday night to celebrate end of exams I did think he'd possibly prefer to go out with his friends but a lot of them don't finish until 29th so they are unavailable.

They are all off abroad as a group in Jul (I'm trying to blank that from my mind... ) so will celebrate then - hopefully sensibly.

Hello all, I've been lurking, I was on the original GCSE thread 2 whole years ago! And here we all are again! I feel in a constant state of anxiety at the moment so it is nice to share.

DS also said C3 was difficult, he just wants to get C4 over with on Friday.

Had history today and appeared to be very pleased with how that went. Phew! What a relief.

Dd loves Ben and jerrys, but is avoiding it as she wants to look good in her bikini next week. I bought her a pretty pair of earrings today as the c3 consolation prize
