Hi just feel the need to tell everyone right now, most of you know what a hideous time my eldest dd had I'm her early life, well her gcses results came back, (we only got back from holiday last night) and she got 6a* s and 5 a's! [grin] She worked really hard (despite me actually telling her not to!) I am so so proud of her. She actually thanked me for being so supportive I may have then totally embarrassed her by bursting into noisy sobs and hugging her for about a hour while she tried to chat to her friends and rolled her eyes at me a lot. [smile] it's not the results themselves I care about but the fact she is so strong, she wanted to do well (she wants to go to uni) she worked she achieved and most importantly she knew she could, she knows she can do anything. I am so so proud [smile] Thanks for listening to me ramble [thanks]
