Oh heck! I am doubting my sanity and I know my ability is not up to scratch when it comes to punctuation/grammer/spelling. I have been beaten by my daughter's homework. Blush Please could you check the punctuation and tell me whether it is correct or not, with explanations if possible so that I may remember for next time.

"Oh yes, she was as buti-ful beautiful as a princess! It was a lovely day. She was lovely, I wonder if I will be Charlie's bridesmaid."

I think the , after she was lovely should be a full stop and my brain has gone into complete sleepless meltdown over the last fullstop. I corrected it to a ? and now am wondering whether I am right.

I have lost one grammer book and I am waiting for another book to arrive.

How old is said daughter? Because there are shades of grey, aren't there - i might use a semicolon but not if she's in Y1!
I'd put a ? At the end though.

Sorry, iPad. Autocorrect. Is not that I am erratic punctuation-wise, honest.

She is in year one and has a better grasp of punctuation than I have.

I have a complete mental block on anything other than basic punctuaion.
