Welcome all newbies. It is a very nice thread. As Tomnoom said we are all welcoming and accommodating, have a variety of dc, intelligences, lots with SN.
Cinnamon I too like the:
'Heroes of their own stories' . And can we please put 'Results Day' in the title? Probably Best you get it ready today, because we are clearly going to finish this one and I don't want to be faffing around in the dark trying to find new thread.
I fear I may be doing other faffing around in the dark. Ds1 finally looked at clearing yesterday, but is adamant he's got good enough for 1st choice Nottingham. Hope he's correct and not just cocky.
I am working at home. But have a lot to do on both my accounts jobs. But we will look at 8am.
Sounds like our school does it unusually and parents are heavily involved. We all go to school for 9am, lots of parents aswell. Parents stand with child in the playground and get envelope. Was a very nice atmosphere when we did it for GCSE's.
We then will return home. Will deal with clearing if needed. I'm a very practical person generally, just gets on with things and deals with whatever life throws me. So I'm not worried.
I too like Proggy's dd jib. Ds is similar. Tonnes of them (not all, but most of the year 300+?) are going to a 11pm nightclub miles away. He says he won't be able to afford too many £10 Jagerbombs until the death leaving time of 2am.
Piccolo, I agree re sort your verbal offer in clearing first by phoning them. Then refuse your insurance on UCAS. Only Then does this allows the verbal clearing offer to make it official on UCAS.
NCT I appreciate the difficulty of choosing Nottingham with no guarantee of accommodation. But hopefully there will be a high chance of accommodation being given. Because that is what all clearing student face?
I will report back on mattress topper survey possibly this weekend? Not all have arrived from Dunelm yet.
I like the Split. Haven't seen Marriage yet.
