Congratulations to Alice

I have just written a flaming great post on the happenings of this week and it's gone. Logged out then then access via my desktop -all not there!!!!

I gave a cracking account of the situation leading up to the subject of today's post, that is - congrats to Al. Only to find my words of wisdom have been swallowed up in that big blog in the sky!!!

To cut a long tale short. Al got her 11 plus results today and passed. She is heading off to Plymouth High School for Girls next September. Ches took advice and decided in the end that Al would benefit from a Grammar school education. All she had to do was pass the 11 plus!!!

She has worked her little cotton socks off, homework - tutor - extra school work. She took it all in her stride when she could have been out to play with her mates. Only a few moans along the way. But it has all paid off now - so let's hear it folks ---- CONGRATULATIONS ALICE.

I had put other pieces in such as congrats to Matt and Lisa with a baby sister (Henrietta) for Isaac.

Clare's adventures in the States and Mary's in darkest Cornwall. Me, I stayed at work!!

The magnificent showing by the Mighty Greens to take a 1-0 victory away from Molineux.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow when Al and I take our seats to watch the lads play Watford. Weather forecast is really bad which about matches the state of our pitch!!

Home again on Saturday to Reading. 6 points will do us nicely I think!!

Well that is it for the second time. You all look after yourselves, especially our Australian representatives. Hope the weather is being kinder to you now. At least you are off our news screens!!
