ds3 got dates for his mocks and gcse s yesterday, he has been so layed back until now but seeing it in writing he is suddenly really nervous, and thinks he will fail them, he is a bright lad and I think he will do ok, but not sure what advice to give him as he always thinks what I say is patronising, obviously not good a saying what I mean:o

Take him to ASDA and show him how people who fail exams end up .:p

Tell him he can always succeed (if, as you say, he is bright), but it will be sh**loads easier if he does some work now. I know, from bitter experience.

I persuaded my husband to lift all of his rubbish lily bulbs after they had died off (Only a few flowered) I then persuaded him to take all the outside scales off and place in compost as instructed on a web page I'd found and lo and behold we are getting lots of new lovely little lily plants coming through for free so he's well chuffed x

I know one of you luvlies will be able to help me with this. I have an audio Docking Station for my iPod and iPhone 4 but I'd like to use it to dock my iPad Air on, same female part as iPhone 5? I've looked on Amazon and can see adapters but some say won't play audio/ video.

Please can anyone recommend one I can buy. Many thanks xxx

We bought one and it wouldn't play audio through the docking station speakers, only through the phone. The official apple one works.

Explanation of why here. So apple charges more because they put a bit of kit in the convertor, but the cheapies don't - so they are restricted to what they can do.

Have you had any lily beetle?

I got a few packs of reduced mont blanc lillies last year and we got quite a few - first time we have had to deal with them :mad:

The more people work, the luckier they are. Don't listen to peer pressure not to revise, everyone who does well revises and "blames" luck for the right questions coming up.

thanks x not sure the asda bit will work:o he says every job is important as the next and some people are happy being dustmen while others are happy being lawyers and we should all find the job we are happy in no matter what others think of it.
and in proof he says dd2 oh loves his job and works on the recycling lorry,

I will try telling him it will be easier to choice the job he wants to do if he gets the qualifications,and to get them he needs to work hard, do not want to pressure him to much he is only in year 10, and I am not sure I approve of the school putting so much pressure on young pupils..

We also separated some Irises out that had not flowered due to overcrowding and they are all coming through as well, free plants are great, love nature sometimes (Not when it involves Worms Slugs and Snails)
