Great news

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 06:25

Congratulations, Emily. I hope we have some more of the same on here this morning.

MumBod · 17/08/2017 06:25

Late crasher to the thread - DS got three As, but is gutted because his offer was A*AA.

Will he still get in do you think?

What world are we living in when 3As is disappointing? Sad

I'm so bloody proud of him but he's morose.

Well Done Emily!

bebumba · 17/08/2017 06:17

Oh well done Emily's dd!

EmilyDickinson · 17/08/2017 06:15

Phew, after four looong minutes I was allowed to open my email. Firm choice offer met. Yay!

Horsemad · 17/08/2017 06:14

I am suddenly really really envious of people whose DC have Unconditional offers...

dingit · 17/08/2017 06:14

Ooh Emily! You will be the first!

bebumba · 17/08/2017 06:10

As usual ds is sound asleep nothing keeps him awake or wakes him once he has gone off to sleep. He has always been a deep sleeper.
No doubt I will have to wake him this morning if he hasn't set his alarm.
I am not usually a worrier but do feel anxious I wish the waiting was over!

Horsemad · 17/08/2017 06:05

This last bit is awful.

bebumba · 17/08/2017 06:04

Good morning everybody!
I hope you all receive good new today. The long wait is nearly over and yes, it is torture!

user9512736123 · 17/08/2017 06:04

Got to sleep about 3, woken at 5 because a certain teen has opened their window and door which is now banging in the breeze.....Angry they, of course, are sleeping through it.

Horsemad · 17/08/2017 06:01

Is she awake EmilyD? Good Luck!

EmilyDickinson · 17/08/2017 05:59

A level results email due in 2 minutes, but not allowed to read it till DD has...

LittleHo · 17/08/2017 05:37

It is torture!

At least dd is asleep and has been very philosophical about results day.

Horsemad · 17/08/2017 05:36

They don't mention this at ante natal classes, do they?!

Horsemad · 17/08/2017 05:35

Got 5hrs here, DH next to me very restless. Can't hear DS.

Horsemad · 17/08/2017 05:33

Snap Littleho!

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 05:32

I slept from about 11pm till 1.30am and that's been it!

LittleHo · 17/08/2017 05:21

I've woken up. Don't think I'll be able to sleep again.

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 04:23

I'm still awake.

tobee · 17/08/2017 03:03

So how many threads are we currently on?Grin

Just heard ds close the bathroom door. He's gone to bed. I thought he'd stay up. Dd (22) is upstairs too. There usually up and playing games/chatting. Last time we were up like this it was election night. It was much more fun.

user9512736123 · 17/08/2017 02:40

Mine too. No idea what to do as I just won't be able to sleep.

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 02:35

My guts are in tatters and everything I write keeps posting twice.

user9512736123 · 17/08/2017 02:33

I'm up, I thought DD was asleep but I think I just heard her bedroom door - either she's up or her window has been opened.
