AGL I Hoover the tv stand first with the brushy attachment then I'll dust it later. I just shook half a packet of biscuits worth of crumbs out of the rug. Bloody kids and their biscuits!!

Oh my poor little girl. A*AB & she's srill holding out for her first choice university. The regrade came back with the same mark so she can't reapply for the same course. She's currently looking at different courses which have lower entry requirements. Sad😢😢😢😢😢😢

She should be so HAPPY. 8 marks. That's all it was. 8 marks over two years 😢

Thank you Sad

VanillaSugar · 22/08/2016 15:24

Good luck finding somewhere to live. Someone needs to cut us some slack.

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 22/08/2016 15:37

vanilla such a shame for her. Even worse that not that long ago there wasn't even a distinction between A and A* so AAB was the most any uni could ask for (bar oxford and Cambridge). I hope she gets a course she's happy with.

AGL its crap looking for rented. Couldn't your support worker get you put as a priority for a housing trust/ association property?

RedOnHerHedd · 22/08/2016 15:39

Portia I had phone calls off someone about my computer too. I had him going for ages and then when he asked what computer I had I said it was a pink one. He asked what make and I said my granddaughters V-Tech, ages 3-6. He put the phone down.

Btw I'm not a grandmother and I have no idea if pink V-Tech's come in age 3-6. But I had great fun.

Vanilla hope your DD gets where she wants.

AGL keep looking.

MyCats I don't have any cream cheese here. So I squashed all the bits into cookie cutters to make them back into whole biscuits again. Waste not want not! Grin

What a total bastard! He's trying to scam you and has the audacity to swear at you for realising.

Bettercallsaul1 · 22/08/2016 15:51

Commiserations, Vanilla - it's rotten luck when that happens. "So near and yet so far" is particularly bitter when your DD had set her heart on that particular course and Uni. if she's just heard, she'll need a few days to mourn that course before thinking seriously about another one.

AverageGayLad · 22/08/2016 16:01

Vanilla How long did the remark take? I've asked for one of mine to be remarked.

Blue I'm a very high priority on home options, but that doesn't help if there are no properties :(

PortiaCastis · 22/08/2016 16:26

AGL so you're in one of those areas, where housing trust properties aren't just scarce, they are virtually none existent then? That sucks.

Where I live, as long as you can get listed as a priority, then you can get something decent.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 22/08/2016 16:30

I'm home from IKEA now. God it was busy!

AverageGayLad · 22/08/2016 16:37

Exactly Blue! The only property available last time you needed a car for :(

RedOnHerHedd · 22/08/2016 16:38

Housework all done. Big cat has just sat on my lap, so I'm having cuddles before I start cooking dinner. Then I shall be having a glass of something alcoholic later Grin
