    My DS got his GCSE results today - one very proud mum - 3A*, 5A, 2B, 2C and a D in German. He is no linguist and his teacher went off sick from March this year and he had a nose bleed in the middle of the exam! Sixth From here he comes.

    He is a mathematician and scientist -A* and A in them!!!

    Congrats to mini quidditch my DS had a surprise in English and was A in English Lit which he thought was his weaker of the 2!

    Crazy. I'm supposed to be meeting at flight at half eleven so obviously wouldn't have booked it - just in case someone suggests I forgot! :rotfl:
