Hello everyone, new thread for the final push.

1 sleep. Tomorrow it is all over for ds1! Physics in the morning and his prom in the evening Grin
It's amazing to think of my biggest baby finishing school. It's weird because he's still 15.

He plans to reward himself by putting his Xbox gold code in so he can go back online. He's had it since Christmas but didn't want the distraction. I'm really proud of him.

HeyBells · 16/06/2016 22:29

1 sleep for us too. Wednesday was the worst day but it's just gone on and on. Feel for you and your DCs who still have more next week. Good luck to everyone with exams tomorrow. Physics 2&3 here then to start thinking about DoE expedition and induction days.

228agreenend · 16/06/2016 22:43

10 sleeps for us :(, but he doesn't have any exams between now and then

Has any noticed their dc becoming unfit and slovenly. Having study leave hasn't helped, as he doesn't even have the walk to school. His football team are on their sumner break, so no training there either. He did go for a run last night. Think I may encourage this.

Only one more sleep for DS2! (12 more for DS1, though, boo.)

TheDrsDocMartens · 17/06/2016 06:27

NO MORE SLEEPS !!!!!!

ladygracie · 17/06/2016 06:34

No more sleeps for us too!! This day has been a long time coming!

Good luck to all for Physics today.

Last one today. Finally!
Good luck to everyone's DC!

2gorgeousboys · 17/06/2016 07:28

Final exam this morning - science. We are all ready for the end. DS is off to a party tonight and I am going out with friends for cocktails on Saturday to celebrate surviving!

Good luck to those doing exams today.

HesMyLobster · 17/06/2016 07:54

Good Luck to all for Physics this morning!
Can't believe so many of you will be deserting us after today! Wink
Hope you and dcs all have a brilliant time celebrating WineCakeFlowers

We'll be there this time next week, just 4 to go after today.

dowhatnow · 17/06/2016 08:13

Last day, last day, last day. Did I mention today is our last day?
We are going out to lunch too. I can't believe its finally over. DD is dancing around shouting 3 hours left.

Good luck to the rest of you for next week.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/06/2016 08:22

I am 'well jeal'! Envy

Good luck everyone today. I know that many have feared this one, but it's nearly done now.

Enjoy proms and last days for all those who have reached that stage. please don't abandon me next week they have earned a good celebration and a good rest!

dd could do with some exercise and some fresh air. We will do lots of walking on our holiday, so hopefully that will undo some of the being chained to her desk! She was nervous today - it's one of her main a level choices, so it really matters.

marmiteloversunite · 17/06/2016 08:22

I'm feeling a bit Envyat all the last dayers!! Four more sleeps and I will be feeling GrinWinetoo!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/06/2016 08:34

hmpff with your 4 sleeps.
7 sleeps here. Though I personally might try and fit in a mini sleep somewhere Wink

marmiteloversunite · 17/06/2016 08:37

When is the last finish date for all? Perhaps we should all have a Wineand a hurrah on that day too?! A whole thread sigh of relief!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/06/2016 08:49

Yay marmite :) yes please! Friday 24th. Last exam and prom for dd.

needastrongone · 17/06/2016 08:50

Oh stop it with your finishing dates, you are being very selfish you know Smile

Next Friday for us, Physics, like today.

I suspect the thread with go very quiet, then speed up again, say, a week before exam results day Grin

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/06/2016 08:54

lalalalala - didnt quite hear that bit about a future event that we may all be dreading.

marmiteloversunite · 17/06/2016 09:01

Ok so that's a date? Next Friday night we all raise a glass to a job week done.

dowhatnow · 17/06/2016 09:08

Will definitely pop in for the final finishing party. Make sure there will be lots of virtual Wine and Cake

marmiteloversunite · 17/06/2016 09:10

I'm on it!!

hewl · 17/06/2016 09:35

Thank you so much everyone. This thread has been absolutely brilliant.

Our last day today Wine!

I have to say I am not sure how Physics is going to go as dd totally ecstatic about tonight's party, also she rode her horse yesterday evening and he went brilliantly so she's really excited about the summer. Hopefully she can hold it together for the morning's exam!

Her last day at the current school - off to the state 6th form in September. She's really looking forward to it and I just PRAY that it is a positive change for her.

Are we all meeting up on results day?!

hewl · 17/06/2016 09:36

littledrummergirl that's so cool about the online code!!
