Results day

A Levels, 1983, for me, in the days when you had to wait anxiously for the postman rather than log onto the internet at 6am. I seem to have a dodgy perm and be wearing a hand knitted tank top. Let's not mention the wallpaper, ornaments and the fact that there was a plant growing up the tv aerial.

David got his AS results, pretty much as expected, slightly disappointed to miss an A in maths after stuffing up one of the exams and missing the A boundary by 3 marks overall. A lesson in exam technique was learnt however, and he is happy and relieved. One of his friends just texted him that his results spell out DUDDU, and he has told his parents the AS results don't come out until next week, by which time he will be camping at Leeds Fest.

I hope anybody out there waiting for results is pleased and relieved and ready to move onto whatever comes next.

My mother arrives today, so some last minute tidying before we head off to collect he from the train. My Blipping may be restricted for the next week!

This was the big song of the time when my results came out - god bless the 1980s!!


ps advice for all parents here.
