BTEC/T level/other vocational 25/26 - part 2

[BTECnewbie]

New thread for those of us with DC doing vocational courses (and for those with DC looking for an alternative to A levels next year and looking for advice).

My DC is currently doing a level 3 extended diploma. He struggled academically at school and was pretty miserable in year 11. With a lot of hard work he got the grades needed for the level 3 BTEC and is now thriving at college.

So!! DS19 returned from the Far East yesterday! Got to bed at 3.30sm after chatting….. Now packing to go down south for in laws Wedding in the morning!

Not good about Arthur!! 🙄😾

Thanks @OhCrumbsWhereNow for tips!! I’ll def investigate that method!! My friend has just started a new job as AI delivery person! I had zero idea when she was describing her duties to me last night!!

Well! It’s been bloody boiling today! Derbyshire was apparently hottest .. when I walked into my kitchen to unnecessarily being told on the news! Going to be a hit hit Wedding too! Nooooooo… !!

Guessing @Raven08.. you’re not having a hoot, either?!

How are we all?! 💖🌟

@Sisublondie
Ah, you may be close to us...yes, it's utterly grim 😬
Don't laugh..I.went and bought a paddling pool today! 🤣
I intend to wallow in it tomorrow whilst drinking wine 🍷
Good news ds1 is home safe, hope the wedding goes well 🙏

Oooooh, how funny! Imagine running into each other!! But! Not knowing! Actually, that happened years ago! I ended up making real life friends on holiday with someone I’d been talking to for years in an online medical group! That was SO small world weird!! Buxton not too far….. it’s a bit touristy here where I live at the moment, too……🙄😹! Bloody TikTok…….😡

Oh, I’m not laughing!!! My cousin in Cardiff bought one for his daughter and I am green with jealousy!!!! As I am with you!! Oh, tomorrow, to be lounging in a pool (🏊! 🌊! 🏖️!) with icy cold wine 🍷 is my ultimate dream!! It’s funny, you normally fear rain for summer wedding!! I think part of the plans were lovely walk to drinks along the Thames at some point……🤯🌞🤯!

DS19 got a couple of suits made over there…. Oooooh!!!!! SO handsome!!! Still looking not good on GF front, tho, but……….. he seems positive so that’s all that matters!

Enjoy every living second of your spa pool!!!!!!!!🏊 💖😹💖! x

My dh is insisting on calling it my "Serenity pool"!!🙄🤔🤣
