to wonder what IPOAT stands for?

[Hullygully]

YY! Burn letter. Letter never arrived. Look up results online at 5pm. Be indignant about non-arrival of letter for a couple of days, and then allow whole episode to fade from memory.

It's a letter direct from the school (additional to council letter) with test results. She'll know. I think the dog paws and cake will work. They'll have to.

When I were a lass, not so very long ago, I'm sure there was none of this malarkey. We just went t' school down t' road.

When I were a lass my mum sent me to do the scholarship exam for a private school about which none of us new nowt. She worried mostly about what coat I should wear. When I turned up I looked at the paper, laughed, and went and sat on the steps outside to wait for her. Ahhh. Pore ol me.

When I were young the pit ponies would draw out equations with their hooves in the coal dust for us to learn maths...happy days!

When I were a lass I got on the bus to go to the big comp a few miles away and arrived to see a pupil chasing a teacher with a hammer. I hid for the next few years.
Didn't do me any harm.

outed! damn woman, outed!

Actually, got that despite being a girl. must sort! (not really luxuriant however, more bag of revels than godiva chocolates)

When I was young I got teased relentlessly by kids from local schools as I made my way on two buses to my catholic school. Pulling a piano accordion on an old granny shopping trolly type thing, complete with elasticated luggage straps, did not help my cause.

I didn't stand a chance.

The braces and demi wave (that went wrong) did not help.

Not that I'm scarred or anything.

but look at you now!

I'm a firm believer that low lighting and mucho make up are a girls best friend.

Only just over an hour to go Mimi

am now beginning to dread what will happen if we don't get it. I will have to appeal,ExP will behave like a twat. Please god let something go right this month.

Is it too soon to start drinking? (not cocktails, obviously. have learnt my lesson there)

Try not to fret till you have the mail. Easier said than done I know, I am the worlds worst for fretting.

In case you all hadn't worked that out by now

It's Five O'Clock Somewhere Mimi

I got a bit upper case happy in that last post.
