Nothing as intellectual or exciting as your lot! 2 PHDs and a rabbi, coo! I hope the conference is conducted in English? What is the Zidane gf doing?
DD1 has a temp admin job at local Social Services until Jan/Feb, by which time she should have cleared all her credit card debt, then she plans to spend 6 months-ish in Aus and other parts (building up more cc debt probably ) and start PGCE next autumn.
DD2 just finished her first year of Social Work degree at Manchester; she was supposed to be learning to drive this summer so she could buy a car to do her long placement next year but she also has had a bad cc habit and can't afford it so she will be spending a lot of time at bus-stops instead.
DS1 is waiting for A2 results - not likely to be sparkling and he hasn't applied to uni this time. He has just come back from a holiday in Spain where he managed to badly burn his shoulders, he is supposed to be doing DofE expedition next week but he couldn't carry a backpack at the moment. (He did it at a waterpark where all his sunscreen was washed off, he would have had a long cold shower at the hotel but a girl in the party said oh no, that'll make it worse, put cream on instead...)(he also picked up an ear infection. Not a happy bunny.)
What are your girls doing? Is DD1 at AS level this year? Is DD2 changing schools this year? (I only have a vague idea of exactly how old they are!) Are you back in Scotland atm or where? (Your family leads such an interesting life!)
