Hi - glad mmzz pointed us to the new thread! I also suspect it's going to get very busy after results day.
Love to Alexander and Sostenueto.
Had a great day at Wimbledon yesterday. DS enjoyed playing with his concert band and they had an appreciative crowd Between now and results he has a music trip to Germany and a week away to look forward to.

Checking in from deepest Borneo! WiFi is patchy but currently working. We're off out to watch 2 million bats fly out of a cave later.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. GCSEs are a distant memory at the moment. I expect we'll start counting down to results day once we're back in the UK.

Thanks mmzz. Have you got a spreadsheet for that impressive list of names? Grin

Last day off proper lessons for DD2 today. Then two activity days and the summer holidays. I think DD1 is rather disappointed that her peaceful days at home are about to end!

Tomorrow she is going to help her friend buy a sixth form suit. I think friend's mum is very brave letting them do it without supervision. And friend may be a bit surprised to hear that DD1's sixth form dress code basically amounts to "not too scruffy"!

Nice to be tagged even though I'm an interloper. Smile
Hope you are all enjoying a good rest.

Let's hope it's all joy ....not lots hope it's all joy Smile

Thanks @mmzz

hi all
Thread 15 - who would have thought it!!! Do you think we are going for a record for the longest thread on MN 

@Sostenueto and @AlexanderHamilton ThanksThanksthinking of you both

Last day at school yesterday so a bit of a monumental day. Probably best since she managed to get clay and glue on her school skirt, she has face paint on her shirt and face (war paint from sports day) and I would be ashamed to wipe the floor with her blazer.

Now it's the interminable wait until August. What's the betting that this post just about limps to results day and then goes crazy with joy, tears, 6th form decisions and general angst.

Lots hope it's all joy!!!

Thanks so much for adding me.
Dd is camping in Devon with a big group of girls and one very brave mum.
She's finally tidied her room.
I'll catch up with you all properly tonight.

I'm here!

Good to hear from @Sostenueto after her treatment.

Hugs to @AlexanderHamilton at a difficult and worrying time.

DS1 enjoyed his trip to Ben Nevis and is playing a huge amount of cricket - 3 matches in 4 days.

Went to see Hamilton on Wednesday and off to Wimbledon in Sunday - all go round here.

DS1 school has already loaded up his timetable for September on the parent portal and he's disappointed by the low number of free periods - I'm not!

Thanks [mmzz]. Still away but just able to catch up today, Wi-Fi is patchy! Glad to hear proms seem to have gone well. [Sost] hope you are feeling better.

Wonderwine · 13/07/2018 01:49

AlexanderHamilton · 12/07/2018 23:36

The third things seem to be slowing down so I think there's a chance of getting to the 23rd with some space left!
If not, we can take our cue from Hollywood and just call it The Reckoning 2
