    evening everyone

    Just popping on to say a quick hello and thankyou all so much for your support after my last post. I logged off very quickly as I couldn't stand emotionally all the beautiful responses, love and support you guys gave, just completely overwhelmed me and the masses of PM's....i'm so sorry I have haven't had chance to reply individually yet but I will. You guys are amazing.

    Just wanted to mention redballoon hope your ok, sounds like you have a very similar situation to mine, stay strong x

    bensonsmum i'm so pleased for you congrats :T

    michjay glad you're DH is ok

    fudge-cake thanks for a lovely post, hope you find the peace and love you deserve too x:A:A:A:A

    wanted to mention 2 things on the glitch front

    WHSmith -alot of stores have got wise to the reusing of the same giftcard to buy another, the special promotional giftcards are purple. There is nothing to stop you using those gift cards to buy something, return it in a few days and asking for the refund to be pur onto a "normal" gift card. They don't seem to be as bothered about you using this type of gift card to recycle for the promotion;)

    one of my locals last week refused me the promotion as didn't know anyhting about it, this week were using the last promotion gift cards that expire in a week:eek::eek::eek: Email to H|O methinks:mad:

    Also if you are pasing a superdrug alot of the old xmas stock with little green wrapping present stikcers are reduced to 10p, got some amazing items from my locals yesterday, my sister has nabbed the lot so can't do a pic but her need is greater than mine :A


    Anyway, maynot be posting much as not sure if i am being watched, can't even update you on what's happening -perhapsi should post in white ?!

    will catch up with you all soon :A

    Can I ask why the majority of your posts come across as just plain rude?
    I'm starting to wonder whether it is just the way you type, or whether you do actually do it intentialy.

    The time of day would actually be very important as children are more alert in the morning and that has nothing to do with the parents or teachers, it is something that has been studied scientifically for years.

    If you don't have anything nice to say, perhaps you might like to think about saying nothing at all

    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).

    I love the Cosine Rule but prefer the Sine Rule all day long. The exams are determined in a cycle each year. Depending on the modular or linear unit.
