Year 11 GCSE support thread 4 - more exams

[HSMMaCM]

Anyone got English tomorrow ?

Gin, I was surprised how nice the M&S suits were Sadly, they didn't have his size and we wanted to get it all today, but would definitely recommend them, lovely suits.

Prom suit shopping doesn't sound like fun. I found the shoe shopping for the girls the most arduous bit (big debate about heel height with dd winning) - dresses were easy.

DD took yesterday and this morning off and is now revising History (with no prompting). Hurrah.

Popcorn for Eurovision tonight.

Sorry about the cat Lynette.

Ah, mummytime, DD did say something about having to give back all your books and getting signed off by every single teacher, so maybe she will get some information after that!

Spud, I AM in SE London! I think it needs more than a few darts (as she is petite with an hourglass figure and I am was when it fitted me a tall athletic? type build! If you could PM me the number, that would be great

I am looking forward to getting DS a suit for his Prom in 2 years as he is tall and broad and will look great in it unlike DH who looks best in shorts and a Tshirt

Sorry about your cat Lynette

I've sent you a pm bigTillyMint.

Ds is currently parading around in his prom suit as we are just back from buying it and he's very happy

I've now told him to hang it up before he spills something on it and to not grow at all for the next six weeks

Where did you get it from Fairenuff? DS was set on a black one, but we've ended up with navy. (I'd wanted him to get navy but had said it was his choice so was pleased he preferred the navy one!)
He's now doing Geog revision.

He just went for one he'd seen in Next, slim fit, black. Unoriginal but smart and it fits him really well. I liked the navy too and I also liked the midnight blue shirts but ds went for black and white.

Tbh they all looked good on him, he has a tall, slim figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist/hips so is a bit of a clothes horse. He's just coming out of that gangly phase and is filling out nicely. Or maybe he just looks good because I'm his mum

He doesn't have a date for the prom but is going in a mixed girl/boy group of friends. They have round tables, each seating about 10, set in beautiful grounds with lawns which they all spill out onto when they're too hot from the disco.

It's so lovely for him to have something fun to look forward to.

DD's prom date dropped out at the last minute, but she seems much happier to be going with one of her girlfriends.

Sorry to hear about your cat Lynette. I took our 17yr old cat to the vets this week to find out she hasn't got long left, it's horrible.

My DS (all boys school) has no prom, party or anything to mark the end of exams/leaving

Sounds lovely Fairenuff DS hasn't got a date either, but just going in a big group. He's really looking forward to the 'After Party' he says.

I'm not sure about that...

Lynette sorry to hear about your cat

DD is going with a gang of her friends. Her dress fits and all we need to buy now is some tit tape and a necklace. I think I said on the previous thread that I'm going to get her dad to bring her home from the prom. She's leaving school to go to another for 6th form and I don't think I can cope with the emotional outpourings of hysterical teenagers without crying myself. DH is much more able to cope with that sort of thing.

Good plan Woolly!

anyone else got 1 today that can barely sting a sentence together?

poor boy is shattered.

Got a maths revision class at school tomorrow - 10am to 2pm. Can fault the school for the effort they put in.

DD seems to have a new lease of life after leavers party, so hopefully she will be able to enjoy her holidays revision before the rest of the exams.

Thanks for the condolences about out cat.

We've all had a good cry, and buried her in the garden. I'm just relieved it's over.

No chance of DS having a prom date! "I don't like any of the girls" is his latest take on the prom. Buying a suit will be interesting...and I'm not sure about shoes. Do I get him a brand new pair which he will never wear again, or make him go in his old school shoes? Actually, he might now be the same size as DH, so DH could adopt them if DS has only worn them for 5 hours.

Sorry to hear about your cat :( I still have occasional flashbacks to when I had to have one of ours out to sleep 2 years ago. Truly horrible. DS2 was 12 and had to be collected from school during his internal exam week as he was so upset.

DD still grieves for out cat, who died when she was 3!

Photo of DS in his suit Needs to improve tie technique!

Very smart

I'm quite glad on balance DD and her friends aren't bothering with their unofficial prom - the official one is in yr13. She's so not into dressy dresses. It's a girls' school but they do things like this in conjuction with the corresponding boys' school. The only clothes shopping she needs at the moment is another pair of walking trousers for DofE, and a new wetsuit.

I still don't feel very organised for the prom but at least we have tickets (or have signed up for them) and have the date in the diary. I think dd plans on going with a group of friends and has an invitation for a getting ready together pre-prom thing. I think!

Wow. Get those winkle pickers!

Lol, pretty fab aren't they? I did almost pmsl when he tried them on and asked 'should my toe be at the end?'

He is quite intelligent really

Lovely suit!

Spurred by this thread we ordered DD's garden party dress and she chose this www.chichiclothing.com/products/Chi-Chi-Laurie-Dress.html

We can only hope for a sunny day, no?
