Thanks - Just had a quick look - was there a reason?!!!

I feel very sad that I didn't get to say Bye sad.gif Anyone still in touch with her?
fsharpminor

It is a great and terrible loss to the moasting community. sad.gif

Glad you're still here though, VM. I was beginning to wonder.

Suspect she may be back - I really want RCM updates. fingersCrossed.gif

Yes, I want a full debrief - and also on her own progress!!!

Scooby Doo - say hi from me when you next email/talk to her! Thanks!

How can we carry on moasting without her? sad.gif

Sorry I've not been very active recently, having the Boys at home plus being away in the back of beyond for 3 1/2 weeks may have had something to do with my being quiet!!! Plus I suppose that musically things have been quiet around here recently. DS even said that he'd missed doing an exam in July! Right decision though - G5 in December! Teach reckons that if we can get him through the G5 theory in Spring, then it'll be G6 next July too - PANIC ohmy.gif

DS2 starts pre-school in 3 weeks so you may find me on here between the hours of 12.30 and 3.30 weekdays!!! I wonder if that will stop me moping about without my baby at home! happy.gif

MNW has had a crazy few months. I was stuck in Scotland for a while and came home to find baboon boy had a place at Purcell. So the mother who thought anyone sending their DC to a specialist music school was completely bonkers is now feeling quite sheepish.

Oh the joys of no term time practice sessions! biggrin.gif

FAB-U-LOUS news! (Baboon boy that is, not crazy few months...)

But we were all looking forward to taking it in turns to keep you company in London while baboon boy was at junior RAM...

Oboe? singing? piano? Updates needed!

Are you a Purcellian miffy?

MNW - no it won't! I was in a bad place last summer. It took my summer holiday to sort out why, and now I have I can do something about it without melting down again. Please forgive my insanity. I really was quite poorly and didn't really know what I was doing.

Much better now smile.gif . I'm happy with who I am now and have no axes to grind.

Welcome back, MNW - I missed you more than I thought I would biggrin.gif ! - especially when reading other posters' feeble attempts at moasting. I hope you didn't end up having to pay a term's fees to the other (choir?) school? Or was that a different son? And will he still go to JD on Sats, or just stick with the Purcell? Looking forward to regular updates! ( and on your own progress too, of course).

No need to apologise but it is gracious of you offering an apology. We're all bonkers anyway. If in doubt be happy bonkers (TDM is the expert) and take it out on the piano xxx
