    I promised someone (?) last night that I'd post DS2s list if top 10 achievements from primary school. Well here they are :)

    1. In year 6 I left home for the first time on my own. I shared a room for the first time with other people. There were no computers or televisions. I didn't really like it, but I achieved a whole weekend if it.

    2. I achieved 2 weeks out of 6 of an extra curricular club in year 3. It was a cookery club. I attended weeks 2 and 6, flapjacks and pizza. They were cooking things I don't like on the other weeks

    3. I tried school dinners for the first time in year 4. I only like them on a Friday but it was still an achievement because my Mum wanted me try it and I did. I had school dinner on a Friday only since then.

    4. October year 4. The first time I got changed for PE on my own. My personal best time reached 14 minutes by the end of year 6

    5. I always managed to get to school at 8.45 am on every day of primary school. I was never early and I was never late

    6. I was given the job of school bell ringer in year 6. I really liked my job. I could make sure that everyone lined up on time. The previous bell ringers were sometimes early or late

    7. I have managed to complete my whole 7 years at primary school without ever having a poo at school.

    8. I danced with Mrs xxxxxx at the Christmas party. Not really an achievement but she thinks it was because I don't dance except at home.

    9. In year 2 I sat in a green chair. I hate green so it was an achievement to sit on it. No one knew where my chair was and then it just turned up the next day. I did cry, but I still sat on it so it counts.

    10. I saw Mrs xxxxxxxx's password to the school network and logged into her account from home. I didn't think it would work from home but it did because we live close and get the signal. My mum had to go into school and talk to them. I think it's an achievement as not many kids can do that.

    No mention of what I really call his achievements. The real tough stuff he's overcome. That's all in his stride. I love this :)

    That is so touching. He sounds like a wonderful child. You must be so proud.

    S'watit says on my receipt

    S'where they are in my asda :)

    Thought I would mention it as I do my sisters books and when she had a VAT inspection it all the inspector went on about as sis has a catering business. She was actually clueless but sis's books are perfect anyway so nothing to find.
