We don't need no educashun...

I feel like a total nag at the moment. Parents, take note. My daughter is in her GCSE year and doesn't have time to draw breath. She's taking 10 subjects and, these days, the emphasis is on those elusive things: A star grades. I accompanied her to a sixth form open day in which tutors and students were available to talk through options.
"I don't know what I wanna do..." was the familiar cry. So my daughter took me through several departments and she doesn't know either. But one of the options she;s considering is medicine and that's extremely grown up/demanding. But the other thing she is good at is design and she quite likes the idea of commerce and smart offices. This is when parenting gets tough.

Is it in the Stars?

Is there something happening with the planets at the moment? I feel like everything I'm trying to make progress with is hitting snags.
The hubby and I keep bickering, in fact he's on a night out (best described as a p*** up) with a load of football fans as we speak. Shouldn't he be past all this at 42?
