Oops - cross post Aunt Petunia!!

tobee · 17/08/2017 07:50

Off to school for advice I hope.

Well done everyone!

AmITwirly · 17/08/2017 07:50

Oh dear Aunt Petunia. Really feeling for you.

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 07:49

Coconutty, Thank you - I'll pass that on.

Funnily enough, his Insurance have indeed offered him a place on another course - but it's Zoology and he's not really interested. So a bit of a non-consolation prize.

MumBod · 17/08/2017 07:48

He's in!

Off to Exeter!

LittleHo · 17/08/2017 07:48

dd is into her Firm - Warwick for Physics. Grin

Auntpetunia2015 · 17/08/2017 07:47

And breath ...is it to early for Wine. He's off to Preston .

AmITwirly · 17/08/2017 07:46

Track says DS got his insurance although no email from the uni yet. I'm hugely relieved, especially given the appalling couple of years he's had, but he's looking a bit glum at the moment.

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 07:46

tobee, good luck - I wish I knew the answer.

tobee · 17/08/2017 07:45

Flowers aunt for your frustration.

Horsemad · 17/08/2017 07:42

He is in!!!! Going to Newcastle Grin

Auntpetunia2015 · 17/08/2017 07:42

DS just called but line so bad he sounds down and all I got off him was same as last year..which was two Cs and two fails ...now I can't get through to him and feel sick even more.

Hmm track confirms his firm is rejected which is not surprising and one of those that handed out unconditionals. He's pondering rejecting his insurance and go into clearing and hoping others are lowering their grades. But is this a big risk?

Hello all - I've been on cold turkey from MN since a couple of days after DD's last exam but I couldn't stay off this thread at least today, and I'm good for nowt else (another who didn't sleep well, I scanned the yesterday's posts and loved the 'they don't tell you about this at antenatal class'!)

Congrats to dingit's DD, thats excellent news.

DH is driving DD to her school, it opens at 8.

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 07:38

And thank you so much everyone for all your upbeat stories. I'm alone in the house and I needed this thread Flowers

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 07:37

Mirabelle, Yes, good thinking, I've told him to get an uber if he needs to. He has the app.

Oh God is Track really up?

MirabelleTree · 17/08/2017 07:31

Just a thought Liney but would it financially be feasible to taxi him home so you don't have to worry about delays?

Auntpetunia2015 · 17/08/2017 07:31

Now I wish he'd let me go with him...can't access anything from here...feel even sicker

dingit · 17/08/2017 07:30

Track is up. Dd double checking...

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 07:29

Thanks all. He's on a train amidst delays everywhere, fingers crossed.

We just have to push on with Clearing, don't we? We have a good shortlist standing by for when he gets home.

Horsemad · 17/08/2017 07:28

Grrr Robert should be Tobee !

Horsemad · 17/08/2017 07:28

DS in shower (better be a quick one!)

Congrats dingit. Smile

Liney, sorry for your boy Sad hopefully school can help him get sorted.
Sorry your DS is disappointed Robert Sad

putthehamsterbackinitscage · 17/08/2017 07:21

No Email's here yet - school opens at 8am...

I'm driving DS to school as he's too nervous to drive himself... and refreshing track too ... will be in the car at 7:40 so hope it comes up early...

AmITwirly · 17/08/2017 07:21

Aaaarrgghh. This is awful isn't it? Should I wake DS up?
