Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Lengthy comment made. We had a really horrible row here yesterday and i spent the day shaking and dropping things and losing things, and then the cat was spectacularly sick all night. Currently waiting to see if any school will be incoming, no idea if she was in any classes yesterday

Teen looks set to make it in for third day of exams. She is barely speaking, comes back and goes straight to sleep for five hours, eats and then retires. She was in lesson 2 Monday and full day yesterday. It does reinforce that daily interactions are more stressful than exams. One more day to go after this

Can't wait for boy2 to finish y11. He's not happy, getting weekly detention for poor behaviour, and missing the bus every morning requiring a thankfully short school run that I resent having to do.

I'm counting the positives, he is going to school, he seems to have good friends and goes climbing twice a week, but school definitely doesn't suit him well, and I'm slightly worried that he's chosen to continue to 6th form.

Actually now I've written it down, I feel a bit better. Only a couple more (short) weeks.
