I should have posted this yesterday but I spent most of it in bed with a sick headache. Apologies, youngest fruit of my loins.
Yesterday was GCSE results day in the UK: thousands of terrified teenagers arrived early at school without having to be screamed at by their doting parents, to see if all of their hard work was worth it.
In this house, it was. Spud got excellent results and we love him after all.
To celebrate, he stayed up all night with some of his friends.
No, I don’t get it, either, but I’m not sixteen.
He said that around four a.m. they realised it was a stupid idea but they were committed so they saw it through.
What character. Or stupidity.
He had breakfast at six, was home by eight, showered by nine, fast asleep on the couch by nine-fifteen.
Well done, my darling boy.
I have seen the future, and it snores.




















Congrats to your Spud, Tilly. I remember the far off days when i could stay out all night and not feel the after effects.
Hope you’re feeling better today. xx
Well done, Spud!
Congrats
Congratulations to Spud – both for his exam results and his committment to the task of staying up all night!
Well done Spud!
Sorry about the migraine, Tilly. Well done that Spud. That boy on the sofa looks more like a man every time you post a new pic.
.. and it seemed like only yesterday you were taking him home from the hopital?
They grow quick, I swear Little Mr grew (noticably!!) in the last 10 days.. but one thing stays the same: they all look like angels when they are sleeping LOL.
CONGRATULATIONS on the exam results! (and staying up the entire night)!
Congratulations to Spud and I hope your headache is better.
Great job Spud! I too used to be able to stay out all night and work the next day. Ah youth, those days left after the sleep deprivation years of having the babies. I hope that your headache went away, certain headaches are so brutal. Have a wonderful day and relax your head.
poor old you! hope you have recovered!
Didn’t the lad do well…and he looks so sweet dreaming away….a few future broken hearts there me thinks!!!!
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations to all of you!
Congrats to hard-working Spud and those parents who planted all those seeds of wisdom in his head.
Hope your headache is better. I would snore too, if I had a safety pin in my septum. Tell me he didn’t do this. Dianne
Well done Spud! And Congratulations to the parents who produced two fine and brilliant young men.
Congratulations Spud! (Scout too did well
)
Well done Spud!
Congrats and aloha from Hawaii, Spud. Hope you feel better now, Tilly.
Oh congratulations Spud! I can tell you’re a wee proud of that boy Tilly! Hugs, Shaz
Well done Spud! Love the pics!
Yae! Congratulations! That is so wonderful. Now you can all relax. Getting some sleep might be good for your headache too.
Excellent! I wouldn’t go back to being sixteen for anything…oh, not quite true! I wish I could stay up all night! I can’t seem to force those eyes open after a certain time. I hope you feel better, too! Debra
Great arrangement you have in your family … your son is out with his friends the whole night and you get the headache. Brilliant … *laughter
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I remember getting my GCSE results as though it was yesterday…..
Okay, maybe it wasn’t yesterday – more like 17 years ago. Although I am happy that I was of the GCSE era.
Congratulations to Spud! If he can’t stay up all night at his age, tell him he’ll be going to bed at 8pm when he turns 30.
Thank you all, for the good wishes
Congratulations Spud!! And Tilly! Good to know he has character.
Congratulations Spud! You did your parents proud!!!!!!!
He did
