am loling at red's dd2 .
Lovely day buckets. My ds was an utter grump today. I think because of a late (out) brekker he was hungry til then, then as he only had a snack before his nap (cos of late brekker) he was hungry the rest of the day and in such a mood. much happier and far less argumentative (ie doing what i just told him not to with a look of defiant intent on his face) mood.
vg lol at Saturday job. hey, we could send her down the mines, that would bring in some extra dish!! No, she was at an interview for a different school. we are utterly happy at the one she is at but she caught on that lots of her friends were doing the 7+ so she begged and we let her do it (for one school, the one she was talking about, not the 3 the other all were }. she has gone into is as her with no tutoring etc (she is 6 fgs) but dh was chatting to a mum from her class at the entrance exam last week and they said they do an hour of work with their dd each day. I am guessing that is on tip of the 20 mins for homework reading they get from school. craaaaazy. I am reaaalllllly hoping she doesn't get a place - bad mummy cos we like her current school but if she gets a scholarship (for which we had to fill in so many fecking financial details) it would be a no brainer. Otherwise we'd have to make a tough decision. But is is 3:1 on places so....... (by the by it is the school which miamla went to at secondary. in her day there was no prep part, but these days parents get the dc in at 7 so they have none of the torture at 11!)
