Plus i have to take into consideration of getting her there & back safely

Why not adopt another child who is going to Hollins then they can go together, safety in numbers and all that. I'll ask around see if there's a child going spare

Its a bit of nightmare & quite confusing, hope your daughter does well on the exam i'suppose thats extra pressure altho being lucky for a chance for grammar school - good luck

Lmao!!! @ st chris's thats so true lol

Tell me about it Lindsay

My lad goes to St Johns which is supposed to be the feeder school but because we aren't church goers it doesn't look likely that he'll be able to go to the school that he really wants to go to. I ease my own feelings about it by just thinking that if religion is more important to the school than having a very bright academic then that's their loss.

Looks like we're going to have to hire a double decker bus to get them all to Hollins in September Mel
