Help my daughter to pass her GCSEs (read all 14 entries…)
So proud of my babygirl!

Despite many challenges to her completing her GCSES (such as friends that led her astray, all consuming relationships, a stubborn and rebellious nature and a terrible lack of organisation) she pulled it out of the bag at the final hour to achieve:

A* in IT
B in English Lit
B in Maths
C in English
C in Science
C in German

I’m so very proud of her. With over 5 GCSEs including Maths, English and Science she had plently of choices open to her.

She went to 6th Form for a couple of weeks to see how she got on with A Levels but she soon decided it wasn’t for her. After applying for some apprenticships she was offered a place at college and is now studying for an NVQ3 in Childcare. The course will giver the same UCAS points as her A Levels would have so she still has the options open to go to university.

The day we went to collect her results will always be a treasured memory, seeing her open the envelope and her happiness at getting the grades she was hoping for was wonderful.



Teach my son to read, write, swim and ride a bike (read all 10 entries…)
Urgent puncture repair required!

He’s reading and writing without any assistance for a long time now. His Nanna bought him a fairly long book yesterday and he read it in one sitting. We’ve been reading The Tempest (the young adults version) in preparation for seeing his Dad perform in Return to the Forbidden Planet this week (the show is loosely based on The Tempest).

Today he swam for the first time properly without armbands!! Sadly, I was at work and he was with his Nanna, who’s looking after him this week while I’m at work, but I’m not too disappointed as we had a couple of really good swimming pracitces in the sea whilst I was on leave and I’m hoping that helped his confidence!

Last thing now is to ride his bike without stabilizers. I had great intentions of doing it whilst on holiday but didn’t get around to repairing his puncture. He had a bit of a go on his friend’s bike but kept leaping off as he was scared of falling off! I have a few days leave at the end of the month so I _must) get it done then!!



Help my daughter to pass her GCSEs (read all 14 entries…)
Only 8 days to go...

...until results day!

I did try to help her with her revision but it often felt as if the more I tried to assist, the more I deterred her! She pulled some form of motivation out of the bag at the last minute, but whether or not it was soon enough will be seen next week.

I know she will make good of whatever she gets and I will be there for her where ever life takes her next. The plan is A Levels and 6th form at her current school. Fingers crossed!
