THREAD FOR THE 'GUTTED' ON GCSE RESULTS DAY.

84 replies

Right, this is the second bloody thread of this nature I have had to start in a week!!

Last week with DD's A levels and today with DS's GCSE's.

I know the results are not with us yet, but am anticipating disaster, so all welcome, as before to come into this quiet sanctuary and rock in the corner, whilst eating lashings of cake, of course!!

Marking my place for later - well done Champneys. Lets make it clear that this is not a thread for A/A* students - those people can make their own thread. Off to potter around garden - will use my tears to water the plants later Grin but shall be joining Marjorie for a Brew. Shall dash out for cake later x

oh cake, that sounds promising. Just looked at our website and nothing on there!

This is like waiting for the hangman to take me to the gallows Grin

Just checked school website and the overall figures look very good. Fingers crossed!

DS has ADHD, and coincidentally has a psych appointment at midday today. Good timing.

DS just up, I am off to work as I have a clinic on Thrsdays, he is going to give me a call as soon as he knows. Haven't seen anything about English results......off to google now!

Hi! I've been awake since 6 and am itching to wake DD up. Might have coffee first. Oh dear.

I've been awake since 5.15. Only had 3 hrs sleep. I'm knackered - too old for this sleep deprivation malarky!

Yes please to cake....

Cake all day in here! Have you seen the headlines about the english? What a disaster. Also read they are scrapping the modular gcse's from this sept. If only we were doing them now. DS does much better on just final exams rather than all these constant bits and pieces!

Oh, god- I've been awake since 5!

Have absolutely no idea how it's going to go.

I have cake for breakfast?
