My daughter has been given nothing! Absolutely nothing...

I didn't give anything and not because I am stingy but we went for pizza after the exam itself, rewarding the effort, but succeeding is the primary reward.
Perhaps a sausage in batter though.....

All my midget got after the test was a breakfast afterward's in Tesco's cafe and got to stay up late watching a film with his mum and dad. He know's his reward was being proud of himself for having done it and passed.

When he get' s a scool place it will be no different, maybe a bag of sweet's and that will be it!

Like Ed's Mum. Nothing, nada, zilch, not (even) a sausage.

Reward was the school allocation and his own personal satisfaction.

But then perhaps I am an old meany.

After going through 11+, appeal, then getting school of choice

- went down the 'gift for all the family' to celebrate ... excellent idea as we got something 'I' really wanted

Even better, with two more DCs to follow - already planning 'my' next gift

I have not eaten a sausage in batter for about 20 years. Not because I'm virtuous like the weight loss ticker crew but because if I did my fingers would finally be too fat to type and then you'd all miss my bon mot

. Thankfully I had forgotten such things exsisted. Until now

Since marigold's post it is almost all I have been able to think about

I may succumb to temptation so if I don't post for a while you'll know that I'm having to learn to type with my nose.

Hee hee

Me too. I used to have one on a Thursday night as a child because it was fish and chip night.(aka pay day for my dad) Can almost taste it now......

Can feel my arteries hardening in anticipation...
