poppyH May 2023 9:00am, 15 May 2023 2,095 posts	Quote Pin poppyH The sense of relief at getting here was huge, boy2 is a bit stressed but I think mostly just relieved to have finished lessons. He had a hug and a cry after school on Friday when I was able to tell him how proud we are of him. Good luck to everyone x

Minor victory at the weekend when she accepted that working (paid, not school) Sun night was a bad idea, as was a sleepover at a friend's Sat.

Did the A Level and GCSE double last year and can't remember quite how we managed with son taking over the kitchen, daughter taking over the living room and being worried we'd be told off for breathing! Daughter has year 12 mocks in a few weeks time so I'm sure there's time for me to be told off then!

Sun afternoon they start swapping memes and video clips, and this was my hubby's response 🤣 Good on him for trying.
