Hello everyone, here is a shiny new thread ready for DC’s results day tomorrow and a much needed hand hold for us nervous parents. 🥴🤪

Tomorrow is the culmination of an incredibly turbulent 2 year journey that our young people have had to navigate. Fraught with ups and downs. They have done us all proud!!

Here is a link to the previous thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/secondary/4566030-current-year-11-2-more-weeks-of-exams?page=37&reply=119483572

@Moosey1969 I empathise. DD got steadily more unreasonable as the evening went on. Goodness knows what she'll be like this morning. No sign of life from her yet this morning.

hagelslaagfiend · 25/08/2022 07:12

Morning all! I spent the night dreaming of the lockdowns. All the kids who sat at kitchen tables trying to work. No emails or online results here as far as I know. DD will be at school by 9:30.

Woke at 4.40am after a nightmare about dds results. I dreamt she got all 3s, except a 4 in maths and an inexplicable 'C' (old school) in one of the Englishs.

Now I can't sleep and I'm worried

Ah my dream (when I awoke at 3.30am) was that DS primary school teacher gave him his results and he got 3 in maths and English and a 9 in chemistry! ….. what a stupid dream …. I’m thankful for the 9 because that’s how I know it’s not a premonition ha ha b .

Moosey1969 · 25/08/2022 07:08

Just woke up. Meltdown finally last night about Reading tents but of course the underlying stress has finally surfaced. Quick cuppa and we're off to face the music.
Good luck everyone 🤞

Notaclu · 25/08/2022 07:06

And we are up ready to go after a late night watching box sets - we are tired (dog included); I hope everyone gets what they need to do what they want to do next x

Moosey1969 · 25/08/2022 07:05

That made me chuckle

Morning. I've not posed for a while but have been following the summer adventures.
I'm up and logged onto work computer to try and take my mind off it all. Results day is being eclipsed by my fear DS has been wooed by a local college and he's going to make a big mistake in choice of college. So stressful. Good luck everyone.

TheOnlyMrsW · 25/08/2022 07:03

Up here, thanks @Rollergirl11 for the thread 😊. DD at her dad's last night - they're going through a tough patch at the moment and she messaged to say she wished she was here with us......... we're supposed to be going into school for 9.30 but suspect it might be earlier, available online after 10am if not.

Norma27 · 25/08/2022 07:02

Good luck everyone. Will be driving my daughter in to school at 9am then hopefully having a nice day out. She had a tough time at the end as her Nan was put on end of life care just before they started and then passed away just after she finished. She was always so proud of her and we are devastated she won’t see the results. Good Luck

Akite · 25/08/2022 06:59

Ha I dreamt she got six 9s and a 2 last night 🤨
She announced last night she wasn't going to go and get her results slip and she might open the email in the afternoon. Hoping curiosity gets the better of her!
good luck everyone 🍀

Womblesaremyfavouritefood · 25/08/2022 06:54

Morning all. Was watching a Carry On film at 3am. Heard DC up A LOT in the night. Have been told to knock on their door at 8.45 for a 9am email. Good luck everyone, you've all given a huge amount of support through this really tough year.

YodaBabe · 25/08/2022 06:54

We're abroad and I'm WIDE awake trying desperately to be still and quiet so I don't wake DD up!

God the nerves are killing me 😬

Mumski45 · 25/08/2022 06:43

I'm up after a difficult night of light sleep and dreams. Only an hour and 1/4 to go now.

LouisCatorze · 25/08/2022 06:29

Heavy rain here this morning. Sympathetic background? Really hope not.

Good luck everyone. And very much thinking of the young man whose MN mum died just a couple of months ago (during the exams).

QueenMabby · 25/08/2022 06:29

Morning all. Unmumsnetty hugs to those who had rough nights. I think I slept ok from about 11 until about 5.45 - been awake since then.

Good luck to everyone this morning. Not long now.

UnicornPug · 25/08/2022 06:11

I’m up. Think I saw every hour on the clock! I just want my dd to get what she wants. That’s the only way she won’t be Disappointed. 4 hours to go here.

Boxshibe · 25/08/2022 06:11

I'm up now was awake most of the night. Dd is ofcourse not awake. Worryingly she's expecting an 8 in English. But as long as she gets 4s ill be happy. I'm expecting a 1 or u in RE though

NancyJoan · 25/08/2022 06:09

Morning! More sleep than I thought I’d get, now I need a cup of tea and to get my brain in gear for the day.

MyOtherProfile · 25/08/2022 05:02

Another one not sleeping. DS was awake earlier but seems to be asleep now. 4 hours to go...

Ihavethisthingwithcolour · 25/08/2022 04:20

A fitful night of sleep so far and now completely awake.

lightening outside on the south coast - good or bad omen?!

Ds hoping for nothing lower than a 7 in all subjects… I hope he’s not disappointed. I hope I don’t show disappointment if he doesn’t get his high predictions.

MrsAvocet · 25/08/2022 03:22

I'm still awake...
DH is snoring but I have just heard DS get up and go to the loo so presumably he isn't getting much sleep either.
I need to get up in 4 hours so really need to sleep but can't switch my brain off!

MumofSpud · 25/08/2022 03:02

Kaftankween · 25/08/2022 03:01
