V well done to Dudds and sounds like he can soon sort the science out with a resist

Thanks Supes

Excellent results, Ducky!

OOPS resit!

dUCKS ...........well done to your boy. Fingers crossed for anyone getting results today.

 I remember our house on results days ........my house was awash with loads of the kids mates ............I really miss those days.

HOLY SHIT!!!

OMG!!!   Well done Duds....

AND WELL DONE YOU DUCKS!   I was just telling hubby... you weren't just coaching a struggling teen... you were coaching a struggling and "didn't wanna do it" teen!!!!  HUGE ACHIEVEMENT!

and yeah ...   A in Economics - Well done Duds!  

So... they are "in the bag"...     he can redo the sciences!

I am grinning like a fool for you both!!!!

big up the Duds for me!

oh great!!!!   harder than this year!!!!

oh bloody no!

guess she better get the absolute most of sunning herself in Greece then...  will be the last bit of R&R she sees for a while!

I think what Ditty is trying to say Ducky, is....




Z.

I KNOW!!!!!!!!

I feel like shouting that one from the rooftops!!! A bloody B! After all that insisting he couldn't do it.

Mid you, he was telling the truth though....at the time..... he failed every Stats mock he sat (three of them!!! ) in the preceding three weeks before the exam.   Just goes to show......cramming does work!!

I just hope he has learnt his lesson, and this year will learn it as he goes.

Yeah right.

but what an acheivement...    I do hope he has gained a feeling of "if I set my mind to it, I can do it" from this....

I remember the night when you left him with the graph paper, pencil, ruler & NO eraser...  

and then you returned to find the pile of graph paper neatly piled at the other side of the desk...  each one with a "gone wrong" abandoned graph on it!

Maybe harder is the wrong word. More stressful maybe, cos it's do or die time? Sorry

It's certainly harder if they bog themselves down with resits though! I've seen that time and time again!

Try telling that to the little know alls in Y12 who think ahh sod it, I can improve it next year, though 

He has.

It makes me teary to think this is the same boy who was told not to sit his 11 plus cos he had no chance.  GO DUDS!

I was just so impressed with the way he piled his gone wrongs in a nice neat pile!!!

it would have been screwed up balls of paper....  ripped up paper...  snapped pencils & rulers & an overturned desk in this house!

A HUUUUUUUGE WELL DONE to Duds xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx And also to Ducky for all her hard work xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


I've got all this stress to come....

Well Done to Duds Ducky! They are really really really good results...and don't worry about the science (I got an e in both biology and chemistry exams in as year, so had c's in both for my AS grade, came out with high B's in the end)

And I am now officially employed, for 2 whole months, in a coffee shop inside Alton Towers...brilliant(!)

aw Trix.... I'd say well done on the job...   but I suspect that is not the appropriate response.

hang in there girl...    it WILL turn out ok in the end

I have decided that even if an envelope with her results in did arrive...  I wouldn't open it.

its pointless without her here....  

it all feels a bit surreal for me today !

I like it

Hi Trixy .. hope something more appropriate turns up soon..


Z.

Awww...... I wanna come and see ya!

Do you get to go on the rides in your lunch hour?

Thanks for the congrats Trix and MrsB.....I will pass them on.

Oh god.... I forgot about the envelope!

It will stare at you all week.

I sat in the car outside the college when he went to get his results this morning. I expected it to all be over and done with when he came back, but he turned up with an unopened enevlope!

I wanted to rip it out of his hands screaming "DON'T OPEN IT" .

tell you what though Trix...    your situation has galvanised some decisions about uni courses for my daughter...   

much as she really really fancied the biochem courses...    I think she is going to go down the Chemical Engineering route now...   (or... maybe... perhaps, even Materials Science)

when she gets back we are going to do a week looking at the job market for graduates of various courses....    

if its any consolation (just a teeny weeny tidgy bit)...   by sharing you have helped someone else not end up in the heartbreaking situation you are currently in.

though... I stand by my initial post...   you will get the right job...  it will work out for you...   good always reaps good in the end...   it just takes time sometimes xx

last year I took her up to the school to get her results.... she brought out the sealed envelope and said "not here mum"...  

but I couldn't help it..   I had been in total agreement that we would wait til my fingers touched the envelope....  and then I went into a tazmanian devil type paper ripping frenzy to get at her results!

Duds wouldn't let me anywhere near them!

He opened them and then sat there with the paper held up so I couldn't see,  while he leisurely (and I mean leisurely ) read through them.

He made a rookie mistake though. Forgot about the light.....and I was able to read through the back of the paper.

Hi I have a bit of time before Art History and Geography makes me want to cut my ears off.

Aww chazzer, no ear cutting off-ing allowed.

Yaay! Are they carrot cake cupcakes!

Thanks Charli That'll get him a fifth of the way towards his five a day.   (that's a fifth more than normal )

Yes they are

god I love carrot cake! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


apparently chocolate cake made with courgettes is also very very yummy.   it makes the moistest most chocolately chocolate cake (this info is from my son....  who had it round his friends house.. his mother (bit of a hippy) made it!

Can't think of a weirder cake combination Ditty

Hang on Ducky... doesn't your son eat tomato ketchup?

Good point And enough of it to count towards his 100 a day!

apparently the courgettes were undetectable!

I bet I'd've tasted them though

I wouldn't know what a courgette tasted like!
