GCSE 2018 Final Countdown (I keep on thinking of that song now)...

DD's friend who started at Cambridge last year worked at Homebase ...My DD doesnt get out of bed to do her part time job she just turns on the computer and spends the first few hours in her PJ's ...although she has to be on line for 9am and post updates at certain times throughout the day ...so I guest time keeping is important.

Reservoir my DH always says exactly the same. That's why both DDs started waitressing/pot washing at 15 - building up that work ethic, and ability to follow instruction as well as work with others.
They actually ended up both enjoying it, and really value the skills it has given them. You can't be a shy teenager who doesn't like speaking to adults for long when you have to spend 6 hours a day serving them!

[HesMyLobster]

Ooh Teen I'm intrigued, what is your DD's job?!

[AlexanderHamilton]

Relief. Ent referral needed. No cancer in brain & no neuroma. Update later.

[AChickenCalledKorma]

That's good news Alexander. I know he still has a lot to deal with, but it must be a relief to have ruled out some scary options.

[HesMyLobster]

Phew! Good news Alexander. So relieved for you

[teenmum60]

Fab news AH.

HesMyLobster - She is one member of a team that looks after the Social Media for a company that runs events mainly on Saturdays - Its a great little job - dealing with the public - resolving queries (email/social media). She's had the summer off but I'm hoping that she will continue at least through to the end of her A Levels.

That's encouraging Alex.

I like The Final Countdown Teen - du-du-du-da, da da da da da, du-du-du-da, arum pum pum!

[HesMyLobster]

Oh that is a great job Teen, fantastic experience for her cv too.

[PandaG]

That sounds like good news AH🙂. Hope you get the ent referral quickly. X

[teenmum60]

Finally a call from DD (who is due back off her first week of NCS!). I think she has been extremely lucky - just sharing an en-suite room with one other ... sounded upbeat ...she got soaked today doing raft building ...BBQ tonight ...only other comment was that she had become friends with one of the boys who goes to the Boys school who she didnt know before this week.

[LooseAtTheSeams]

Alexander so glad to hear your news - hope the referral comes through soon and treatment is sorted quickly.
Another great thread title suggestion Teen and congrats to your dd!

[mmzz]

AlexanderHamilton that's great news. You must both be very relieved.
