What made you happy today?

You and youngest son will get on well then! I don't understand Maths. I was never taught the basics properly. Everytime I asked "why?" the answer was nearly always "because it is and you have to accept that"! How is that teaching a curious child who needs to learn!
That’s a pity. The basics are important and now children are being taught mastery rather than just doing because that’s how it’s done and move on. You should get him to explain the basics to you. It would be good for him to keep refreshed, and show he can explain it to others.
 
Youngest son was awarded 2A*'s and 2A's at A Levels so will be off to Warwick Uni in September. I am a very happy and proud Mummy!
Congratulations to your son! That surely deserves a mahoosive celebration (and I can't imagine you'll need asking twice 😉🍾🥂🍹)
Will you be bringing him up for his first term?
 
Yes we will be. He said he wants to go into Halls even if it is remote learning.
Halls is great - no need to worry about making food (if they're catered that is) and lots of people around to get to know and socialise with. My son is going back for final year at Notts, he probably has some face to face seminars as well as remote lectures, but he'd go back anyway for the social life.
You'll be passing almost within spitting distance of where I'm living now 😉😃

No 2 son graduated from Nottingham Uni last year with a Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering. What is your son studying?

My no 1 son is at Nottingham Trent doing some form of Business Studies (when he's not drinking or playing rugby or cricket!). He's just finished his business placement year at IBM Warwick. Next year he's back to looking after himself in a rented house 😂
 
I think balls in the first year are best if you can get in. I stayed in halls for my first and final year. Coincidentally, I stayed in the same room in the final year as I did in the first year. That was weird!

PS someone I was with at A level studied at Warwick. I was at Coventry.
 
My little boy has made me very happy today, the girls have handled the heat so much better than him (being a chunky boy in his prime with very thick hair) but he’s much more his cheeky Gigi self today ❤️Noisy and nosy! :))

And Aliona even let me stroke her for a full 30secs before her cage was ready to trash, win win! :love:

Hi @Betsy , I’m all packed waiting for the pignapping, fresh pack of blueberries and my mummy’s ready for a nap soon so I can sneak off, what time am I meeting you at the station again?! 😘😉
:shh:Luigi! You promised you wouldn't tell! You know I didn't want Aunty @Siikibam to find out! Don't forget your mask or they won't let you on the train. See you soon!

Luigi, how can you conspire with @Betsy to go behind my back! That’s so underhanded. You may be too late anyway pignapping partner. 😉

Sorry Aunty @Betsy ,I’m just a bit excited because I haven’t been on many road trips, one was to this special ‘Fairy’ person, something about pears or plums? Then I went with Jess one day and she came out with an eye missing?! They steal stuff from me and my pals when I travel! Sounds like I’m getting stuff this time though! :D

Can’t choose between rabbits having spaced out fun or beautiful poppies, but I got warned about this fluffy Poppy thing that lived here for lots of years with her brother Ped, doesn’t sound like I want her that close! :)) x

But oh no, there’s a car pulling in my driveway now, may be a dodgy conspiracy after all. How did you get my address @Siikibam ?! :D:))
