    Evening everyone

    Just catching up as had awful night last night.
    Had just had bath and ready to have evening meal when DH collapsed upstairs
    He had been coughing all day and could hardly breath by time got upstairs
    Called ambulance and they rushed him in to A&E
    4 hours of examinations and x-rays they decided it was severe chest infection. After putting OH on nebuliser and a drip for steroids they eventually discharged him just after midnight last night


    what a horrid shock,sending hugs

    Apology accepted, perhaps a few smilies would help to prevent people taking your posts the wrong way :)

    We will have to agree to disagree slightly though, whilst I agree that hard work and understanding will help you in exams, some people unfortunatley just aren't academic no matter how hard they work or try, it just isn't meant to be and the edge of the 1-2% can be a great deal to them.

    May I ask, as you tutored your wife and DD, are you a teacher?

    I was basically saying the same as the other poster in that if everyone sits it then, as they do, then there is very little edge other than to those who really are daytime specialists with a great diet.

    I'm not a teacher, no, but have a PhD in Engineering (Makes me a Dr, but not the medical kind so I didn't join celeb, Karlie et al). I really do love Maths. My Step-DD (who got the A) hated it but I took the time to show her how it can be very interesting and got her through it - she's now doing it for A-Level.

    I'm not very good at exams, but this again was my point. I think that hard work will outdo memory because once you know something, you never forget it (rarely).
