Back for my catch up:
Molly, I am so glad your DS has managed to change uni courses. I hope he will be much happier. Is the new uni near you? Does he know people there? I can't remember when it all starts up for uni now. Beginning of October maybe? Hope your next few weeks together are both peaceful and fun.
BD, I am sorry you feel rubbish tonight and without a bathroom too. Have you had some drugs? I don't take much but will pop a paracetamol if I am feeling fluey. Hope you feel better soon and hope too that your bathroom people are swift and satisfactory.
Auriga, the concert sounds awesome. I listened to a wonderful programme on R3 about the War Requiem, which I have never sung and don't know very well, but I am inspired now to listen to it and get to know it. I am so sorry your DD was messed around but glad you got there in the end. How did she get involved? Is it through school or something else? Sounds like a wonderful experience and I hope the messing around at the start did not put her off. I am so sorry to hear about the friend. Life is very unfair and very cruel at times.
Herbs, how is your DP now? Grief is a funny old thing, isn't it? Never quite know when it is coming back to bite you on the bum. I hope he is ok now.
Rose, I don't know much about GCSEs etc as my DCs are still in primary but that sounds like a very poor way to treat children. Glad you managed to cheer him up.
Am jealous of those not arguing on holiday. My DH is just grumpy a lot of the time, especially with the children as he is not used to being with them for weeks on end. The children of course play up and fight with each other. I retire to the kitchen and contemplate the gin stash (providing the sun is setting, of course.....)
Lalsy, well done on the demucking of DD's room. Whilst we were away, our fab cleaner did a similar job (though on a smaller scale) on my DCs' rooms and threw away broken toys, decaying books etc. She deserves a medal and the DCs are so happy in their cleared out states. When is your DD off?
Glad your friends are ok, NU.
Stropps, you are superwoman with the hedge. We are rubbish with ours, but every now and then men knock on the door and offer to cut it for £20 inc taking the clippings, so I just go with that. However, we are seriously letting the street down on Google earth as it was clearly taken in an overgrown phase.
MI, I hope things are OK tomorrow with your mum's results. That kind of thing is very hard to deal with, esp as it is extremely premature. Thinking of you.
Crem, is there any way you can check on the GP provision for your DD before she gets to Uni? You probably can't register until you are in a place but if you knew which GPs were attached to the uni it might give you reassurance and enable you to encourage DD to get signed up sooner rather than later? I don't know exactly what has happened to your DD but if she has ongoing medical problems it might be reassuring to see what you can find out and get in place before she is offski. Will she be able to see her GP here just before she goes so she can have a few weeks' meds in place? Is your GP practice proactive and able to provide any kind of info for her to take to get things set up quickly?
Hatty, the tiffany necklace sounds gorgeous. I am sure DD will love it.
All quiet here. DD1 lost another tooth today so I am waiting for her to be fully asleep before I don my fairy wings and put a £ under her pillow. She lost one on holiday 2 weeks ago but DH and I got a bit pissed and forgot to do the honours and I was without my bits and bobs to fake a small note explaining my tardiness so I just brushed over it. Perhaps I had better leave £2. When do they stop believing (she is 9 now)? Perhaps she doesn't believe but just wants the filthy lucre!
So sorry I can't make Wednesday. Am out on the razz with 2 pals in Clapham. Would love to join you another time
