[QUOTE=Ignitionnet;35228567]One of your 11+ tests wasn't verbal reasoning? :erm:

I had both a verbal reasoning test, basically maths, and a literacy test. I'd probably fail both now given how lazy we've become with technology doing everything for us.

Oh there might have been some maths etc in there but I didn't notice it :D
I'm guessing that you are way younger than me. I think mine was more an IQ test.

Now - Real test would be could-I-still-pass-my driving-license-test. Some of my bad habits are shocking.

I got a new 2GB micro SD card for my phone together with an adapter. Dragged everything across from the old to the new card and all the bits and bobs still work. Very pleased with myself. :D

Half a happy thought half a sad one. Sent my second daughter Tia's birthday present today. She is 7 next week. Still not actually seen her yet but am glad I can send her stuff and she knows who I am. Hopefully this year ....

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So happy for you Zing and as you said hopefully in time you will meet her. I wish you the best and I will keep my fingers crossed that it will be this year it will happen for you.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Its sad to think of all the growing up ive missed though :(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ya I can imagine and Its so hard and I do understand but at least she for now knows who you are and if you dont get to see her while she is growing up just remember she will make the decision to come to see you when she gets older as she will want to know about you.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Console yourself with the other things you've missed, ****** nappies, sleepless nights, toddler tantrums etc

It will all make that first hug all the more special when it happens. Hopefully soon. Chin up mate:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

yeah man :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Zing maybe you could consider writing her an open letter. Record your feelings and the things you would tell her if you were having ,say, a weekly visit with her. Just a few lines each week to show her that she has been in your thoughts.

When you do meet, or when she is old enough to make the decision to met you and you give the letter to her it will be something I am sure she will treasure as it will give her a taste of what it would have been like to know you as she grew up. Add photos of the puppy you would have like her to see and the big sister she could have shared experiences with.
