Failed miserably at biology at school, but have since done a GCSE in my own time - I just got my result today and I got an 8 (an A in old money). I feel sure there must be some mistake, but I am so thrilled!

YABU: Sit down and weesht, wummun, nobody cares
YANBU: Skip all you like, you gleeful twit

Heee, thanks everyone, lovely messages.

To be honest, I wouldn't recommend the course I did. Very little of what I learned there actually came up in the exam, I learned most of it from a text book and YoutTube videos

The cats are unimpressed with the skipping.

To be fair, my resident fur bastards are unimpressed with most things.

I shall raise my mid afternoon cup of tea to you. Congratulations! Would be rude of me not to have a biscuit or two as well to celebrate your achievement!

MILLYmo0se · 02/03/2023 14:24

Skip your way out the door for a celebratory drink/cake/whatever you fancy. Aside from the grade which is obviously fantastic, to motivate yourself to take this on at all shows fantastic character, well done!!
