    I guess I'm in seeing as the kitchen is being trashed tomorrow I will be spending all the rest of the week cleaning up the mess left behind I'm certain! THEN, I will need to paint the ceiling once the plaster is dry *cry*

    I want to get through sorting Dot CoDs and tomorrow purchase all the stuff needed for the pigling. I need to sort out who needs what replacing too.. I know Tiddles needs tshirts and DD3 need knickers.. DS3 has been refilled with tops and jeans so he is fine..

    Valli calming vibes for the Valli Kids - DS2 doing AS and DS3 has SATS this week (but not really counting those). I shall of course be spending lots of time in exam halls - GCSE RE and French for me tomorrow can Maths Core 1 for DS2.

    I have taken on the mantle of super-supportive parent. I am brewing teas and coffees on request, expecting no help from the Vallikids, making meals and snacks and generally being very very nice.:rotfl:testing DD on philosophy is proving 'challenging' especially when I want to scoff at the philosophy...I have to remind myself that the world was a different place 300 and 2000 (or more - when were Socrates and Plato around?) years ago :rotfl: and I am using words like 'reference' and 'citation' and we generally sound like we are channelling Stephen Fry and Ben Goldacre and other intellectual luminaries :rotfl:

    I stopped at GCSE

    OMG Dusty you are making me feel old now - we didn't even have GCSE's when I was in school. I had to do the plain old O,level GSE's :D I think they brought in GCSE's about two years after I left school.
