Thought we might need a new thread for the results...

I'm doing a very good line in insomnia tonight too. Waah! When I first had children and all around were imparting their bollocks nuggets of wisdom, no-one warned me about this. 'Stressful' does not really cover it...

Just can't sleep ! Can't hear any noise from DDs room so hoping she's managing some sleep but she did say she would watch a film on her laptop with headphones in if she couldn't sleep . Littleham fingers crossed for Bristol then . It's just agonising this !

Gosh I'm tired. Collected ds at 9 pm just back from 2 weeks in Cyprus. Stayed for something to eat with his friends family ( they had results last year). Currently we are watching review if the papers whilst he ploughs through clearing options. However I have just been dismissed to bed (2.15) with a reminder to set the alarm for 6am for the email from school. Wish us luck. And we wish all the very best to your DC. May tomorrow be a gentle easy day. Xxx

am going to fee lshocking tomorrow - still awake, now downstairs with a cup of tea on laptop - DD appears to be asleep as total silence from her room !

Mitzi50 · 14/08/2014 04:03

I've been woken up by DD's pacing - she has not slept at all apparently.

Littleham - DD is also hoping for Durham but thinks she dropped a grade in one of her exams Sad.

I can't help feeling that there should be a better system for doing all of this.

Good luck to everyone's DC

seagull70 · 14/08/2014 05:29

Awake here - clearing places are now being published on the Telegraph Clearing App (probably on website too).

Some top unis with places available x

traceyinrosso70 · 14/08/2014 06:03

DD slept until just now ! Whereas I have been awake most of the night !! Definitely not able to log onto Track yet !

littlemissmaths · 14/08/2014 06:14

i am in the kitchen too with a cup of tea although not expecting results until Track and/or school opens at 8am. I am expecting the worst....

Did anyone get emails or texts in the night from Firm Choices congratulating a DC for getting in?

traceyinrosso70 · 14/08/2014 06:17

Not yet littlemissmaths !

Violent nosebleeds all night (only get them when I'm stressed & can't remember the last time it happened, as I'm usually a happy soul).

No sleep. DD still asleep & have promised her that I won't look before she does. Rooting for all of you. I want everyone on this thread to end up with a happy result.

PS - don't look at the press (not encouraging).

Am sat in car outside school. DD1 just gone in, results out at 7 for her school. Eek!! Good everyone xx

theheadgirl · 14/08/2014 06:49

Good luck!!

traceyinrosso70 · 14/08/2014 06:51

theheadgirl keep us posted ! Littleham - hope you are ok. Am like a zombie this morning after a couple of 30 min snatches of dozing and the rest of the time tossing and turning and drinking tea !!

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 14/08/2014 06:59

Up since 5. Just waiting on Track or an email. Firm uni s clearing page has loaded saying BBB for DS s course so either the tougher marking has made a huge difference this year or he's in. I don't dare assume the second.
Good luck.

Littleham · 14/08/2014 07:00

Good luck theheadgirl & traceyinrosso70.

DH back with The Telegraph. Hoping you all stay on thread for moral support (if we end up in clearing).
