My 9 year old and his friend made these gorgeous cup cakes in anticipation of a celebratory breakfast for his brother. He even put sparklers in them but I missed the moment:-

Teenage son was WAY too scared to get the results this morning. He made me do it and then my daughter told him he had done really badly … and he believed her.

In fact, I am today the very proud mother of a very clever son who has done ridiculously well and we are all completely delighted:
6 A*’s
2 A’s
1 B

Not bad eh?

    Wonderful results! Seeing what work my children did for their GCSEs, A levels and degree courses (compared to what I did!) nothing on this planet will ever convince me that qualifications are getting easier!!! He should be rightly proud 🙂
