Bracing myself for parents evening.

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

ready for afterwards.

Good luck! Come and weep/celebrate afterwards.

We'll be waiting for you

Good luck

I will hold your hand taggie and will have chocolate ready for when you get back

May the force be with you.....

I'm back.

I am not overly happy.

Despite actuallly going to school she has managed to slip backwards academically.

Science. Predicted ABB. Currently getting Es and Us.

English. Predicted BB. Currently getting Ds (and not using any punctuation, paragraphs or caputals)

Maths. Was predicted B. Now being moved down a group, will manage a C if she's lucky.

So bloody frustrating.

She's having a strop upstairs. I'm drinking .

And I've got an evil cold. Drove about 4 thousand miles to a funeral yesterday and have 40 people descending on me tomorrow for a Do. My house is too small and tatty. I can't cook. And the dog isn't well.

And I am old, fat, ugly and cold.

Oh Taggie At least they can't say there isn't a problem?

Sorry it didnt go so well taggie
Try to be kind to yourself.

Well, you are significantly younger than me at least...

Sorry, Taggie, sounds like a shite parents evening. What are her predicted grades based on? Some sort of Yellis or CAT test?

Who knows. Its all a bit of a bloody mystery.

She is bright. She could be so capable. But she hides behind her fringe and doesn't think she can so won't even bloody try.

Since she was born I have told her she could do anything, be anything, but she won't believe it.

She's missed quite a bit last year. Hopefully she can still catch back. Will this give her a scare and a boost or set her back?

I hope it might give her a kick in the right direction. But. .......

Might make cake too.

I'll join you in then. I'm old and cold, (but slim and beautiful, except for my skin, which has melted) my house is verging on dirty and the boys are with their dad, the dickhead this weekend.

I bought new teatowels earlier because I was ashamed if our old ones.

DH looked at me like

He's right. This house is a horrible broken tip. Too much stuff all over. Too much filth and holes in the doors.

New tea towels not high on his list of priorities, then?

He's pleased I didn't get a new carpet and decorate the entire house.

Taggie I'm sorry, did they come up with any positive suggestions or was it simply doom and gloom? Sorry, I don't know the background to your dd's absence. I would offer our house here, if only to show you somewhere tattier and dirtier? Nothing else to add except a top up

Science teacher was great.
