    pigpen - well done to your DD, that's a fabulous set of results. By the way, DS2 had quite poor results at keystage 1 and I just thought of it as a quick diagnostic pick up of difficulties with literacy. He had extra help, and is now doing great.Well done to all the others doing exams this year - I had SAT's, GCSE's and AS and A2... so on tenterhooks for results on the 14th and around 25th August. That's why we're going away right at the start of the break. And 8000 posts - when do you get time to do anything else???

    Well I am going to speak to her teacher the very first day of term.. it is a new teacher and I've not had anyone in her class before so she hasn't met me.. and I do like to know EXACTLY who (or what) I am leaving my child in the charge of so I will be discussing it with her then.

    In 2 years time I'll have KS1, 2, 3 SATS GCSE's and A-levels.. that should be.. interesting to say the least.. perfectly spaced children I call that!! LOL!!!

    Hhhmm... I type quickly.. hence the post count.. ;)

    Afternoon all

    Not done much today.....

    One load of washing, already dried outside and put away.
    S&S kitchen, peeled potatoes for dinner.

    Went to the garden centre with DD2 where we had a drink in the cafe, bought two birthday cards and a bar of chocolate to bring home. Last of the big spenders! Nice to get out for an hour though.

    I did lots yesterday though so I don't feel bad ;)
