12 days of 11+

[aslongastheirhappy]

On the first day of 11+, my ds said to me, I think I could b-e brainy.
On the second day of 11+, my dh said to me "£80 quid on prep books, do you think we are made of money?"
On the third day of 11+, my mother said to me "he's only ten, is this really necessary?"
On the fourth day of 11+, I said (to me)...."Crap this is hard, even though I have been to Uni"
On the fifth day of 11+, my ds said to me "I'm far too tired....and I want to watch some TV"
On the sixth day of 11+, I secretly went to my room after work and had a discreet hissy fit.
On the seventh day of 11+, we did test paper 3. He got 74%, and I got 53.
On the eighth day of 11+, my dh said to me "Keep going babe". I said 'why's the prep all me?'
On the nineth day of 11+ my ds said to me "Thanks for taking the time to study".
On the tenth day of 11+, my ds sat the test, and came out happy.
On the eleventh day of 11+, results were in, and we waited for eternity.
On the twelnetbth day of 11+, I'm waiting for results, and am grateful for others like me!

Bravo, that's really very good - you are obviously putting all this waiting to better use than the rest of us

I'm supposed to be writing a feature about 'nutritional approaches to chronic fatigue syndrome' but I'm a bit distracted!!!!

Very amusing! I do have to ask, is your name an ironic twist on grammar on a grammar school forum or just a spelling error?!

[aslongastheirhappy]

I confirm, I am not as bad at grammar as it might have first seemed! It must have been totally subliminal!

I rather liked the irony

HEART ATTACK!
I just saw the postie coming up the drive with a white envelope. On the front it said "Warwickshire County Council". My heart was thumping. Didn't happen like this two years ago with my dd!!!!!! On the front 'Parent/Carer Address removed

Ripped the letter open as fast as I could.

RELIEF! It's only the reminder for applying for a school place. Closing date for 'online' 31st Oct. So not late at all.

Don't do this to me WCC! The day before the 11+ results are due. I mean, come on! Like if you were that concerned, what was wrong with last week!

My postie is going to think that I'm neurotic when I freak two days in a row.

Hilarious! And so true... think this should be a sticky at the top of all the regions to cheer everyone up!
