Schools out for ever
Our youngest , Kieran, has just sat his final, finals, so as his mother says, today is the last day of school, ever. I think he has other ideas, however, as he sees a Masters beckoning. That will, of course, depend on his final degree grading, and the Faculty's willingness to take him, but with a following wind, and a good mark for his dissertation, he should make it. He is reading History at Liverpool Uni His bro and two sisters all spend an extra year in full time education so I guess it is only fair he does too.
Fairness is something we think increasingly about with the four of them, as one wants money for a house deposit, another wants money for this or that and so on. You can't give one without giving all, certainly where hard cash is concerned.
As a result Kieran is feeling pretty cheesed off at the moment as he has just been offered a ticket to the Champions League final in Athens, by his Grandad. His Uncle turned it down, and sadly he had to too, as the whole package would have been about £800. Still he is young enough to enjoy another Liverpool glory night in the future. he also has two holidays booked in the coming few weeks, so something had to give!
Still he is 21 in a few days, hopefully he can celebrate a Liverpool win at the barbecue we are putting on. These events are some of the rare times all the kids are in one place so we treasure the moments for what they are.
I play the mad chef and everybody else gets trollied!!
