Hello everyone, new thread for the final push.

OP posts:
ExitPursuedByBear · 23/06/2016 23:24

Why not? It's her own fault.

NicknameUsed · 24/06/2016 00:00

What weather? It has been nice here since Monday, for a change (South Yorkshire)

OhYouBadBadKitten · 24/06/2016 05:50

oh cripes Exit. hopefully that's a lesson learned.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 24/06/2016 05:51

nicknamed, shove off with your lovely weather Grin
sunny start to the morning here. Welcome back sun, we missed you.

HesMyLobster · 24/06/2016 07:00

Thesaurus I can't even imagine those stress levels!
Kitten it's nearly all over!
Exit when is her prom? Shock(shallow because that's what DD would be worried about if anything happened to her face!)

No more sleeps!! Dd's final exam this morning - good luck to all!

StepAwayFromTheThesaurus · 24/06/2016 07:02

The bloody referendum result hasn't helped the stress levels I'm afraid. Luckily DS1 is a laid back soul. And maths is his favourite too.

ExitPursuedByBear · 24/06/2016 08:08

Prom is next Monday. And yes that is her main concern. All that money on dress and make up, ruined by a big scab on her chin. Grin

StepAwayFromTheThesaurus · 24/06/2016 08:55

To be fair, in her position that would almost certainly be my main concern too. Smile

OhYouBadBadKitten · 24/06/2016 10:38

no more sleeps :)

Hoping dd has been able to focus on her exam today. Fortunately normally when she gets in the maths zone, all else ceases to matter.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 24/06/2016 10:40

Exit, she will need sunblock on now for a long time.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 24/06/2016 13:37

Last exam is done now and dd has left school. prom tonight.

dowhatnow · 24/06/2016 15:10

We finished last friday but I've come back to join the party. I think lots of Wine was promised. Well done to everyone who have endured the extra week.

TheSecondOfHerName · 24/06/2016 15:40

Well done to those finishing today.

raspberryrippleicecream · 24/06/2016 16:27

DD is finished. Not really sunk in, plus Referendum result not helped.

Still exam season as FS1 has 2 more A2s.

EllenJanethickerknickers · 24/06/2016 16:53

DS2 has been wearing pyjamas for 3 days! Shock

catslife · 24/06/2016 17:00

Still one exam left - it's on Monday so one final weekend of revision. Fortunately DT is one of dds favourite subjects!
She has been to sixth form college for taster day and liked it - no uniform, no bells at the end of lessons and calling teachers by their first names - that will take some getting used to!

dowhatnow · 24/06/2016 18:10

There isn't much wine flowing at this party. Maybe like all the best parties it'll liven up later.

Wine Wine Wine

need to drink lots to drown my sorrows after this mornings news

ExitPursuedByBear · 24/06/2016 18:46

I'm on the sherry. Going out gor a meal with DH after we have dropped DD at her book burning party.

littledrummergirl · 24/06/2016 18:48

I came in to ask how it had gone. Wine all around I think. Grin

TheSecondOfHerName · 24/06/2016 18:54

DS1 has been offered some work in a pub/restaurant and will do a trial shift this evening. It's only a few hours as and when, so let's hope he also hears from one of the other eleventy thousand jobs he applied for.

dowhatnow · 24/06/2016 19:13

I'm on the sherry. Going out gor a meal

we can see you are on the sherry. How much have you had? Grin

StepAwayFromTheThesaurus · 24/06/2016 20:53

DS1 is done now too and we successfully moved house. DS is upstairs sorting out his new room. He said he'd like to sleep lots now his exams are done. Hmm

OhYouBadBadKitten · 24/06/2016 21:01

really sorry, I don't feel like a party.

dd and her friends looked absolutely wonderful tonight and hopefully are having a lovely time.

marmiteloversunite · 24/06/2016 22:27

Sorry I started the wine early and forgot to get ready for the party. Hope everyone has now finished and can relax this weekend. WineWineWineWineWineWineWineWine

OhYouBadBadKitten · 25/06/2016 01:17

:) I think some have exams on Monday, shall we have a party then?
