Happy Birthday buffy Ds🎂 hopefully he has a kind paper today!
Good look to all the geography takers🍀
Dds study looking v empty with only Physics books sitting there we have done pre bedtime removal of files, books etc at the end of each exam so she could see it going down.

Happy birthday babybuffy 🎁🎉🎈
Dd has Geography today which she assures me she couldn't revise for. She was exhausted after yesterday's 3 exams and did nothing last night. I'm hoping she'll do some physics later 🤞
She has been invited to a 16th birthday party Saturday night which she's a bit worried about. Her friendship group hasn't done parties, the most they agreed to was a tiny glass of prosecco at New Year, so this will be the first 'big' party she's been to and not with her close friends as the birthday girl is a friend from an extra curricular activity. She will know people there but not really well... we've said she can come home any time, not to feel obliged to drink etc etc but any advice? The parents will be there and are providing the alcohol, does dd need to take anything? Apparently it's fancy dress but loosely - what should she wear?? Aaagh, I'm out of my comfort zone

Bimkom - We’ve just had Re dreaded bedroom and study shit tip talk too.........it’s the only time dd turns typical teenager (Yes I KNOW it needs doing OKAY!!!!!)
She has no choice though now - her friends are coming over after the last exam!!!!

DS gone off to geography in a bit of a humff because we discussed the cleaning and tidying of bedroom and workspace, and I indicated it needed to be prioritised and done before he goes away (on 3rd July with youth group for four weeks). Also because it is raining and he left his raincoat in school, and nothing else really fits him (nor are any of the options that almost fit him acceptable because they are too bright). I have always been of the view that safety first, and coats for DC should be bright, so they have a hope of being seen by drivers on dull days. So of course DS hates wearing anything bright as a coat, and refused to wear a raincoat for about a year, and then bought himself an olive green one (sigh). He is otherwise pretty road safety conscious, but even so.

sorry that should be happy birthday lambuffy DS - clearly dyslexic spelling in there!

Happy birthday!! If weather looks up will be a great time for a (slightly delayed) birthday celebration

Can’t see dd doing much today in terms of physics- boredom compared with demotivation- but hey ho only one more day

Happy birthday masterbuffy!!

Last exam here today, thank god. DS has a job interview this afternoon which I think he's actually more focused on! And then a big party tomorrow night.

Good luck all!!

Dd is off today and I've said she MUST throw everything she's got left into physics tomorrow. Picking her and friend up after physics, taking them to Macdonald's (! Its what they requested) then i expect they'll spend 5 hours getting ready for the party they are going to. No celebratory booze for me as dd doesn't want to stay over so i need to pick her up at 1am!

Good morning & happy bday baby buffy🎂🎂
Good luck to all today, day off from exams for us. How are the headaches? Mine mercifully gone.

Happy birthday dsbuffy!

Re the shoes - do you have a cobbler nearby who could maybe help? Hope you can rescue them.
(I dropped chicken fat on dd’s dr Martin’s on Sunday, only they were the soft leather ones and in oxblood red 🤦🏻‍♀️ - huge amounts of talc and one tin of polish later and they are ok again - phew!)
Three more exams to go (we finish on Tuesday) but day off/revision today.
Good luck for any exams today!

Phew, found you all!!

masterbuffy happy birthday!!!

Dd found the German (H) very tough yesterday. Strange questions about topics they had not covered, I'm sure she said it asked about the use of nuclear power??

Chemistry was 'so so'.

Day off today. Then physics tomorrow and German writing Monday.
And then she is done!! Woohoo!!

Good luck to those who have an exam today. Hang in there!

Happy birthday lamduffy DS
Hope you will all celebrate it properly tomorrow night. It is not such a long delay, at least. And it will be a delayed birthday to remember!

On line pettion going on.

Thefrendo it is awful basicly . A level maths with none of tje spec in it .
FM pupils struggled :(

bizzey,

What is being said about Edexcel A level maths?

FOUND YOU ! Did you really think you could sneakily get away from me !

Happy birthday master buffy hope you and your mum have a good day.

Not read all the posts yet ..still catching up on the cock up EDEXEL have done on the A level maths .
Hence why still up.
What the f**k are EDEXEL doing to our kids
:(

@Arewedone (I think it was you).

This year’s mark schemes are currently private documents and remain so until after results are released. As such they should only currently be accessed by those marking the papers, they certainly won’t have been issued to schools at this stage.

Doh - don't know what went wrong but sla was Rugby. Apologies

Sla sorry to hear that. How does a polish ruin shoes?

I've been let in on the fact that DS's prom outfit will be centring on his bright blue DM boots (I'm not surprised) and frankly I think they are indestructible.

Is the brutal German higher or foundation? I was working with a lad doing the F paper hmmmm

Just checking in.
DD thought AQA chemistry was ok. Not great but not awful. Took her for a swim afterwards just to have a break from it all.

Two days, one exam and we can relax. Next week prom preparations start. Just hoping she doesn't dye herself too orange!!
