I spent much of yesterday lurking round the house in case ds fancied company or help (he has loadsa GCSEs this week). He didn't, which meant I got to occupy the moral high ground while also occupying my sun lounger, at one point clutching a martini Grin.

MollyAir · 11/05/2015 12:07

Oh,yes, Lalsy, those are my duties during exams. Being available. Being calm and zen-like - which requires much concentration on my own personal pleasure. Grin

lalsy · 11/05/2015 12:09

Absolutely, Molly. We should write the alternative Tiger Mom book.

MollyAir · 11/05/2015 12:10

Oooops, hope that didn't sound rude or anything. Blush Avert your minds, dear Crepeys. Look at some kittens:

Or poison, MrsS? This is quite alarming.

Actually, I'd bet it was drugs.

MollyAir · 11/05/2015 12:11

Oh, yes, lalsy, and kittens fit in rather well with that.

Stropperella · 11/05/2015 12:21

What, like cooking up crystal meth in the chemistry lesson?

Lalsy Grin

lalsy · 11/05/2015 12:25

OK, Molly, but I am allergic - I will concentrate on martini recipes and you can do kittens. Fair enough? Grin

cremolafoam · 11/05/2015 12:27

Lol at you two on loungers concentrating
Molly I have downloaded Her and have read 5 chapters. I like it v much. Thank youThanks

Ok , if I booked for the weekend of the12th June would that suit the Crepey majority.??

cremolafoam · 11/05/2015 12:29

A few industrious girls at our school grew marajana in the biology greenhouse. Could be that I guess

MollyAir · 11/05/2015 12:32

The weekend 12-14 June would be good for me. Dd will have just finished AS levels so I will be celebrating.

motherinferior · 11/05/2015 12:57

sounds fine to moi...

herbaceous · 11/05/2015 13:09

I have a luncheon on 13 June (with someone who is On The Telly), but am otherwise free. Well, I say that, but I have an assignment deadline around then so may well be just working my veritable arse clean off and have to cry off any extracurricular activity.

bigTillyMint · 11/05/2015 13:40

Cremo, and everyone else, I could do the Friday 12th June. Or Sunday 15th.

motherinferior · 11/05/2015 14:54

Can I just say I've just reached 64,000 words?

Bloke in my sixthform had roaring trade selling the morphine he was prescribed for his ingrown toenail.

cremolafoam · 11/05/2015 14:54

Ok will check fight details

Hatty ! Book the Eurostar Grin

MontserratCaballe · 11/05/2015 14:56

Oh no! I can't do that weekend alas. I am going to a fancy pants wedding on the Saturday and then to Alison Moyet on the Sunday. Sorry crepeys. I will try to organise a mini meet another time

hattymattie · 11/05/2015 15:43

I can't Crem - I would so love to meet you but the French bit of the bac for DD2 is on the 19th so I am stuck here I'm afraid.

hattymattie · 11/05/2015 15:46

Just for I went to my secondary school, some girls were expelled for growing weed in the biology lab. It's a wonder my parents still sent me there. The biology mistress was either very naive or she was in on it.Smile

Well done on the word count MI.

Stropperella · 11/05/2015 16:31

Help me, Crepeys, I am in a right tizz. This afternoon, within an hour of sending a brief blurb about myself to the local schools partnership office, I got a call from a faintly desperate HT. I have an 'informal chat' scheduled for Wed afternoon.

And I still have all my resources to prepare for my lesson tomorrow and now can't concentrate. aaargh.

wordassociationfootball · 11/05/2015 16:32

Just catching up..... you are all great fun at the mo: Kittens, farts, stripey bums, words, science labs.

My wi fi has been up the spout. And I've been writing. And the idea of writing a novel in 6 weeks has made me gibber.

Re middle aged discos. I love dancing but I would like to start at about 6 and end before 10pm.

wordassociationfootball · 11/05/2015 16:33

Stropps! Cross post. That's AMAZING. Try and carve yourself plenty of time to prepare for it.

wordassociationfootball · 11/05/2015 16:34

Just in terms of a 'to be' list, as in, how you want to (and don't want to) come across.

bigTillyMint · 11/05/2015 16:56

StroppsGrin That's fantasticFlowers Go for it! You can do it!
Is it Primary or Secondary?

herbaceous · 11/05/2015 16:57

Criminy Stropps! That's amazing! Didn't we all say something would unexpectedly crop up! Fear not - you have to believe what your tutor is telling you about your greatness. Though admittedly I would be cacking it in your shoes.
