    just got back in, glad to see you heard the news about toots she'll back with us before we know it ;) I couldn't let you know earlier as I have been making rockets with Miss A and W down at Nanan's!

    About to chuck them both in bed (bit late for W but rockets wait for no man!) and then watch Holby.

    Hi all! Managed a little flying tonight but was a bit late in as I had to do the work I didn't get done before school. It took me an hour and a half to get to work today as the council has decided it would be a good idea to set up a 'census' blocking one lane of the main road out of the city. I did 4 miles in the time it usually takes me to do all 28 to work :mad:

    Anyway, will catch up with the thread now ................

    PenPen they grow so fast, was it RE today? I hope she does well. Does she plan to return to sixth form or is she off into the big wide world?

    No, they did RE last year to make room for Skills for Working Life (that was today's exam) and Citizenship (next week). Sorry to anyone who teaches these subjects, but she'll get a GCSE in common sense :D

    She has a place at Sixth Form college to do A-levels and a place at Art College to do a Diploma. She can't decide what to do :o

    My DS did RE today! He has done THAT a year early to make room for Statistics. So THAT'S Flying - decluttering subjects;)

    I haven't seen him yet so no clue how it went...:o:rolleyes:

    we had some training (SEN) after work today and they had a little mini washing line (they called it a story string LOL) with the cutest wee pegs on it...
    oooh wasn't my heartthrob good last night? *sigh*
