Congratulations to those with results and thanks so much for posting, very encouraging.

A big thank you to OrangeCinnamon for starting this thread back in year 10. It does indeed look like we need a new one, would you like to start the next one - feels fitting for you to do the final GCSE one. One worries if you would rather not.

I’d like to echo Oblomov , thank you all for being here along the way. Whoever would have thought this would happen. Looking forward to the next chapter with you all whether that be 6th form, College or apprenticeship.

Save me a seat for 19th please Proggy!!!

Hi, not after more congratulations Grin just thought I'd join this group now it looks like some results are coming in.
Anyone seen teen and twenty? about recently?

crazycrofter · 11/08/2020 11:55

Well done to those who've got some results already!

@RedskyAtnight I'm not even sure they're giving it away in September - I think that might just be when their next announcement is due!

RedskyAtnight · 11/08/2020 11:42

Just seen that Nandos are offering "free food with results" ... in September.

Fantastic well done to those getting results today!

desertcoffeeyoga · 11/08/2020 11:33

Great news @JMG1234! Your good news will keep us buoyed for another week !

desertcoffeeyoga · 11/08/2020 11:28

@0DimSumMum0 brilliant news!! Remember all the stress of the igcses not being postponed at the same time as the UK ones.. so very pleased you got a happy ending ..

desertcoffeeyoga · 11/08/2020 11:18

Yes! Up for an all nighter on 19th ! DD is stress baking ... the silver lining to this cloud... but seriously .. what a mess - not a great example to the young people of the grown ups sorting it out...

ProggyMat · 11/08/2020 11:14

Congratulations to all with results today Star
I’ve switched off from the speculation surrounding the 20th.
Having said that, I wouldn’t mind parking my bum on a bar stool in a virtual pub on the evening of the 19th
If anyone is up for an all-nighter ? Grin

mummabear74 · 11/08/2020 11:08

It's lovely to hear of good results today. Congratulations!

aibuquestions · 11/08/2020 11:08

@0DimSumMum0 so glad to hear good news! I remember talking to you when us international centers didn't know if we were sitting the exams or not. Smile

JustHereWithMyPopcorn · 11/08/2020 10:53

Well done to those positive results today, must be such a relief after all they've been through. Flowers

Wheresthebeach · 11/08/2020 10:21

Glad the news is good! Congrats all round.

Monkey2001 · 11/08/2020 10:16

Congratulations @0DimSumMum0 and @JMG1234, and thanks for sharing encouraging news. Glitterball

KingscoteStaff · 11/08/2020 09:58

Well done CIE chaps!

DD’s school are holding her 2 Cambridge grades until the 20th to release them all together. I can’t decide whether this is a good or bad thing...

LillyM50 · 11/08/2020 09:42

Many congratulations also to all of you who received their results today.

Alsoplayspiccolo · 11/08/2020 09:37

Congratulations to those who’ve received results today!

RoiseCap · 11/08/2020 09:36

Brilliant news @0DimSumMum0 and @JMG1234!! Well done do your DC. Hopefully the trend will continue on this thread.

Alsoplayspiccolo · 11/08/2020 09:36

Well said, Oblomov!
I’ve also been here since day 1, and DD is our eldest child, which has made this space even more important to me.
It’s been an extraordinary experience, with some twists and turns, and I hope we’re all able to see it through together, in a just as positive and supportive way. WineFlowers

JMG1234 · 11/08/2020 09:36

Just to say thank you for the nice words. I've been following this thread for a while and it's been very helpful but I'm often a bit scared to post on Mumsnet!

Congratulations to all the others who got their results today and wishing everyone the best of luck for the 20th.

Northumberlandlass · 11/08/2020 09:17

Congratulations to your DC @0DimSumMum0 & @JMG1234 🥳 You must all be very relieved!

0DimSumMum0 · 11/08/2020 09:11

Thank you! I'm sure they will all get what they rightly deserve! Now for the wait for the next big release next week.

EwwSprouts · 11/08/2020 09:08

ODIM & JMG Congratulations to your DC. Lovely to hear positive news after watching the two poor girls from Scotland on the news this morning.

AnneOfCleavage · 11/08/2020 08:57

That sounds encouraging to hear 0Dim and JMG - very well done to your DC👏👏 Roll on next Thursday for our results and good luck and 🤞🤞for A Level results this Thursday.

I've prepared my DD for lower than expected grades so it's just a waiting game. Just have to hope she gets what she needs for A Level and passes what she needs to to enable her to proceed with future life choices (maths, english, science etc).

Oblomov20 · 11/08/2020 08:55

Btw I've just realised that I've been here since the very beginning, since thread 1. And what an extremely pleasurable 'ride' it been over the last 2 years, with you very lovely ladies.

Informative, knowledgeable, supportive, no-nonsense and straight talking. No nastiness, no scorn over the brightest, nor the struggling. Nothing.

We commiserate each other when things go wrong. Congratulate and celebrate each other if any dc achieves anything nice, from a music exam to DoE.

We always welcomed newbies, and told them how nice it was here, (compared to some bloody MN threads which are just vile) but I don't think some appreciated how nice it is!

What a pleasure. Thank you all.
