We have been offerred half price prep school for our sons, (discount is related to my FIL's profession).

Obviously we would still have to pay quite a lot but it is much more affordable with the discount and we could just able manage it.

Wouldn't have considered private before secondary otherwise.

Not sure what to do, feel that perhaps it is too good to turn down, but then it's still a lot of money.

You can tell me to stop posting here tonight.

scottishmummy · 28/10/2012 22:18

thats not my remit
only mnhq get to instruct on posts
why would you think i would seek to censure you

scottishmummy · 28/10/2012 22:23

i do think your talking presumptive psychobabble
says more about you than me.your need to appy quasi psychology to strangers
but i think its internet blah.no one professional would do this

amillionyears · 28/10/2012 22:31

You have asked if I am a professional before.
I knew you remembered me!
No, I am not a professional.

scottishmummy · 28/10/2012 22:33

again you're presumptive
its obvious from your posts youre not professionally qualified
if youve posted that stuff before,yes id likely ask same question

scottishmummy · 28/10/2012 22:36

so in what capacity do you feel compelled to analyse strangers online
why?what do you derive from it
you use terms and language inappropriately.i fear this is indicative of your confusion

amillionyears · 28/10/2012 22:38

I can ask questions on here. It is what people do on here.
It is up to others whether they answer or not.
I said upthread that you didnt have to reply,but you still are, So that is your choice also.

scottishmummy · 28/10/2012 22:41

you see now im curious about your motives
the paraphrasing,the guessing,the certainty of stance
based on words on the screen

amillionyears · 28/10/2012 22:44

Are you saying that you are not the same in rl as you are on here?

amillionyears · 28/10/2012 22:46

You come across as one of the most intersting people on MN, in regards as to how you function.

scottishmummy · 28/10/2012 22:46

what do you think youre saying
instead of second guessing me,
why are you remotely bothered about my posts

TheOriginalSteamingNit · 28/10/2012 22:48

The thing which intrigues me about
Your posts Scottishmummy is
They're always in three lines.

amillionyears · 28/10/2012 22:49

ooh, now you are not answering the question as to whether you are the same on MN as in rl.
Interesting.

amillionyears · 28/10/2012 22:51

They are not always TOSN
Sometimes she breaks free
Occasionally she posts many lines

CaptainNancy · 28/10/2012 22:51

I imagine that sm actually uses capital letters in rl.... Wink

scottishmummy · 28/10/2012 22:52

and indeed,youre chosing to divert attention to me perhaps to deflect from self
im curious at the certainty of your stance about others
your summation of myself and others on mn...why

amillionyears · 28/10/2012 22:52

I am remotely bothered about you
as a person scottishmummy
I cannot yet work out whether you are content or deeply sad.

amillionyears · 28/10/2012 22:53

If you are deeply sad I care
I care about everyone
I cant think of a decent third line.

amillionyears · 28/10/2012 22:54

I have answered why several times
I am very content
genuinely,how about you?

scottishmummy · 28/10/2012 22:54

i see you cant resist the psychobabble
it is a weakness you have a predilection for
as you seem to let your predetermined opinion inform you

TheOriginalSteamingNit · 28/10/2012 22:55

Thirds lines are
As third lines
Do

amillionyears · 28/10/2012 22:57

ooh,you are not content.
I shall stop now.

scottishmummy · 28/10/2012 23:03

but you would say that wouldn't you
your incapable of being impartial
and cant step away from the psychobabble

amillionyears · 28/10/2012 23:09

scottishmummy · 28/10/2012 23:11
