Thought we might have a thread for personal or family milestones. I’ve had two this weekend myself. Youngest daughter is now sixteen, and the eldest daughter embarks on her second year of Uni\* ## (and as a sort of half milestone, I’m at the halfway point on moving my daughter in and out of Central London. Only three more to do!) ---

I’ve just had the biggest shit of my life. Was very satisfying but I feel exhausted now. I might have to take the day off work. ---

Juvenile Unit #2 got her A/S Level Spanish. She got a B, but was two points off the A. Should she elect to take it at A Level, she just needs to get an A grade and 2 points over to get an A at A level. She was also focused on 11 GCSEs at the time. Those results will come next week. She is sixteen :lou_wink_2: ---

If it’s a man shed it should never be finished, otherwise you will have no reason to go there. ---

My dog did a phenomenally huge shit a few weeks ago. He’d been quivering a lot and I didn’t know why, but when I let him outside and he produced a poo larger than his own head I could understand it. I was strangely impressed by this marvel of canine metabolism. ---

Yet you didn’t take a photo of it? I bet the dog wished it had a selfie stick so that he/she could have recorded this momentous occasion!! Were you in a Poop Scoop area? You’d have needed an IKEA sized bag, not a little flimsy normal sized one for that Turdathon!! ---

Congrats to the youngest of the pap clan. Solid effort! > Originally posted by **Cobham Saint** > > My eldest has gone to her first festival weekend (Reading) > > Mrs C\_S and self are now officially “old” > > :lou_sad: Ah good memories. Reading was my first festival too. Halcyon days of '06, fuck just dawned on me that was 10 years ago. I shalln’t tell you what I got up to, other than to say it was great fun, and I’m sure Kid C\_S will also have a great time! ---
