Morning girls,
Well nicole lucked out last night. jeff was pretty calm (not like him) he didn't even yell he asked her what the problem was with doing he work . She had no anwser and he told her to bring her phone down and he was keeping it for a month. That was it. It was weird. I asked him today why was he so calm and only took the phone away. Basically he just gives up and if she wants to throw her choices away let her. She will just have to retake the class next year.Very unlike him. Hopefully the guidance counselor with get through to her today. Check in later after the meeting.

Good luck today.

I can understand his viewpoint, at the end of the day she has to make her own mistakes. I get that resigned feeling sometimes - you just have to let them get on with it. I really hope the guidance counselor helps Michele

Good morning!

Great job Mandy I'm trying to get my energy together to go exercise...haven't been in a while so I will feel the same as you!

Morning Veronica

Good Luck with your exercising It's always hard work to get started, but once you do, you're glad you've done it

Hey Laurie

I'm bored too. I really want to go out and buy lots of new clothes for our Cruise - other than Christmas - I love shopping for my holidays

Hopefully I'll buy a few Fish Extender gifts this week - I'm trying to buy a few things a week

I really hope the next 6 months fly by

I have to get cracking on the FE gifts too...

I am looking forward to the cruise, but, not sure if I want it to fly by, only because the sooner it gets here, the sooner summer is over, ya know what I mean?

I guess it's because this Winter seems to have gone on forever, I know when the nice weather comes I'll be out in the garden lapping up the sunshine

I've got a really good feeling about this Cruise We've got a great bunch on here, everyone is so friendly, I think we're all going to have a fab time

I'm looking forward to the FE too, it'll be a great way to get the kids involved too (heck, they're going to be doing all the delivering )

Yes, this winter seems to be long, right? Next week is daylight savings time - do you do that in the UK too? At least we'll have an extra hour of light in the evening..

I think it is going to be a great cruise too!! I am looking forward to getting to meet you all!! I am guessing we'll probably wind up meeting at the port before we get on the ship - because we'll all be there at 10 am!! LOL

Yes our clocks go forward an hour at the end of March, so there'll only be 4 hours between us for a couple of weeks then

Yep, we'll be at the Port for 10am too, we'll have to organise a proper 'meet' onboard too. We did a 'Meet' on our Cruise last year, and it was great. We met around 2.30pm/3pm until we had to leave for the lifeboat drill, and we met in Diversions, which was great as you could get a Bahama Mama there was some food to help yourself to (like nachos etc), and there were games and a TV's there for the kids

It was lots of fun

Hi Samantha, welcome to our Cruise thread, it's great to have you here. I'm Mandy, I'm from the UK and I'm a Moderator over on the UK Community forums. I'll be travelling with my hubby Paul, and 2 girls Kerry (17) and Becky (who will be 15).

I see you're from Toronto, that was one of the first places I ever flew to. My aunt used to live in Scarborough. In fact my first ever trip to WDW was when I went to stay with my aunt, and she took me on a coach trip down to Daytona Beach (which was a fair old journey) and while we were there we visited the Magic Kingdom for the day

Sorry to waffle on .. but welcome aboard

Hey Michele, it sounds like the meeting went well. How was Nicole ? was she happy with the outcome ? I really hope that everything works out well for her

Happy No. she looked like she wanted to cry as the counselor was explaining that she will have to face the future consequences if she stays on this path.
She says she will try to keep on top of everything now but who knows what will happen. The teachers made a deal with her that if she does all her assignements between now and the end of the quarter they will change her grades so she will pass the quarter and not have to repeat the courses next year.
