        @UA: Well done your two. That's a lot of hard work. Don't worry too much as everyone is in the same boat and if I know OB they will honour their end. They are also well placed to get self paced home learning off the ground in the mean time.

          She was right. He was a little fecker by all accounts. Sparked a missing child hunt because they all thought he'd gone missing when in fact he'd dug a hole at the top of the garden and was sitting in it...

              I have been wondering that as well. My kid would survive if they take the predicted score, but if they take mock exam scores....

                My kids both fine with predicted. One is fine with mocks - the other not. ex-mrs-bp is VERY unwell and was very bad over Christmas. One child had meltdown. I have been into school to appeal for common sense.

                As long as they both get first choice university I don't care.

                  My thoughts exactly. Let's hope for the best. In a way, Corona appears to be a blessing in disguise for many students and for us contractors too

                    My kids both want to do medical related stuff so it will be good for them. And reduced house prices will help.

                    But they are both worried right now. ex-mrs-bp is not in great health.
