worst haircut ever
was when toni & guy decided to give me the kind of short punky fringe that would only look good on a skinny 16 year old model with a pixie crop. it did NOT suit the rest of my collar-bone length hair. horrific.

i have a question. so my cousin does her gcse's next year, and she is a bit of a mixed-up kid. her mum and stepdad have never worked and live in a council flat, and their ambition for her is to get the council flat next door. when her dad tries to get her to work, she just tells him he's being boring, or that she isn't coming to stay with him any more. she's a bright girl, but looking at failing the lot.

i am wondering if i should give her an incentive she will understand - say £50 per A, £25 per B, £10 per C. is that a good idea or totally inappropriate??

i will def ask my uncle, but i know he won't mind, he is just desperate for her to do well
i have no way of contacting her mum and stepdad, but frankly, if they are telling her exams don't matter, then i don't care if i offend them!!

Sounds like an idea.
You could add that you'll let her stay with you for her summer holidays if she passes all her exams.

see, this would be a great idea
if i could cope with having an emo around for that long. plus her older half-brother is staying with me with his bird at the moment, and he tells me that she keeps asking him to buy her weed. she's 14 ffs!

That plus their attitude! What the fuck is wrong with them?

Scotland is Scottish, not northern.

My parents did that for the SATs with me
it did work because I wanted money. Definitely check with her parents first though.

this is what i thought
i think she understands how important they are, but is being a bit of an ostrich because she has no idea what she wants to do in life. short-term incentive of cash might work!

On that basis, and nothing for a D and under, I'd get £10 off you.
