A quick update:

  • Have got another tent, the other one was just too big & hard to get up. J keeps going on & on & on & on about having his friends over for a sleepover in it.
  • Have bought a little mobility scooter on ebay, haven't picked it up yet.
  • Little girl who was on activity day & has swine flu is getting better.
  • Got J's SATs results. If you don't know anything about SATs 3 is below average, 4 is average, 5 is above average & 6 is a lot above average. Each level is also divided into a, b & c, a being the highest. What he got was 5b for Maths & Science & 4a for English. English is always a bit of a problem area for him so we felt his result was quite good but we were disappointed with the others as he was predicted to do better & his teacher assessment was 5a for Science & 6c for Maths. Had a word with his teacher & said I didn't know if we were being a bit petty as he still did get good results. He had a look at his papers & said he felt Science was fair as although it was obvious J knew all the answers he hadn't always written enough. However he felt in both Maths & English he'd been marked too low & there have been a lot of complaints about poor marking this year so he's asked for his papers to be re-marked.
  • A few weeks ago the housegroup came round & tidied my house for me!
