This year, she's hoping to head off to university to study biomedical science, we're keeping our fingers crossed that she gets the grades she requires.
We're heading out shortly to a cafe for breakfast and tonight we're having a party where Eleanor's friends, family and family friends can help us celebrate, after which, she's heading off with her friends in to Leeds to a nightclub. Mick and I are also taking her out for a meal over the weekend so that we can have a more intimate celebration ourselves.
We're so proud of Eleanor, she's grown to be a happy, caring and thoughtful young lady and we wish her a lifetime of happiness.
Happy birthday Eleanor. xxx
Happy Birthday Eleanor, fingers crossed hope she gets the grades, have a lovely weekend x
ReplyDeleteThank you. We're keeping our fingers firmly crossed that she gets the grades she needs.
DeleteHappy 18th Eleanor! The photo is lovely and it made go and look at the photo of you, Eleanor and I, taken two years ago. Have a lovely celebration, a good weekend and take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The photo was taken at Daniel's graduation ceremony on Wednesday.
DeleteWow, so many "significant events" are happening in your family! Happy Birthday, Eleanor. I'm sure that as your children have grown up to be such clever, decent people, parental influence must have played a big part. Behaviours learned from family in their early years will direct the rest of their lives.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We've certainly got a busy year, it was my mum and dad's diamond wedding anniversary and Daniel's 21st birthday in February, Daniel's graduation a couple of days ago, Eleanor's 18th birthday today, and in August it's Mick's 50th birthday and Eleanor's A Level results day. I'll be worn out by the time it's my birthday in September!
DeleteYou should be proud, Jo. The years fly, don't they? Wishing all the best to your beautiful daughter. Happy Birthday, Eleanor, from the USA. P.x
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm very proud. Yes, the years go by in the blink of an eye, I do wish they'd slow down a bit.
DeleteHappy, happy birthday to Eleanor! And congratulations to you and Mick - you can both be very proud of both your children. :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you. We're both very proud of both Eleanor and Daniel, they've grown up in to decent adults and they're both happy, that's all we really wish for our children, isn't it?

DeleteHappy Birthday to Eleanor. Fingers crossed for her grades.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think the waiting makes it all the harder, she just wants to know one way or the other.
Deletehappy birthday Eleanor.A quiet house for you in September.I remember it well and so missed the buzz of young people around the house.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's going to be very different when September comes, though we may have Daniel home again by then, we're not sure yet.
DeleteHappy, happy birthday to Eleanor. I hope she is having a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI hope you all enjoy the celebrations.
What a proud day for you both.

DeleteHappy Belated Birthday Eleanor. I hope you had a fabulous day. x
ReplyDeleteThank you. She's had a great weekend, the celebrations seemed to go on forever.
DeleteBelated happy birthday wishes to Eleanor. Best wishes for the next stage in her studies, but first some well deserved relaxation over the Summer will be planned I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Eleanor's at a bit of a loose end to tell you the truth, I think it's hard for them to wind down after a period of such concentrated study. She's pleased that she's not having to get her books out every day though.
DeleteWhat a little darling! Sending all my good wishes, for her birthday and for the grades.xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you. Results Day is edging ever closer, I think she'll be a nervous wreck by the time it's finally here.
DeleteHappy belated birthday to Eleanor - hope she had a wonderful time! Time does fly, doesn't it? Mine are only 9 & 10, but it seems like only yesterday when they were still in diapers!
ReplyDeleteThank you, she had a fabulous time, I think she'll remember her birthday for a long time to come. Time certainly does fly, I just wish it would slow down a little now.
