Original thread (part 1) here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/higher_education/2759621-Uni-offers-for-2017-start?

Most offers now received. My twins have had offers from their 4 and are currently deciding which will be firm and which insurance. One twin
( possibly two of them) is going to an offer holders' day coming up at Bristol next month with his friends from school.

I haven't! Is there ANY chance UCAS will update before 8?

DS has requested a 7am wake up call so I'll have a look then and let you know I don't know his UCAS password or I'd be checking every 2 seconds for the rest of the night

Is there ANY chance UCAS will update before 8?

Track is currently unavailable

Access to Track has been suspended until 08:00 on Thursday 17 August (UK time) while we process exam results. This means you will not be able to access your application.

Any updates to your application during this time will be displayed after 08:00 on 17 August (UK time).

That looks pretty unequivocal, unfortunately

What it should say is:

^Track is currently unavailable until 8am. It will then be available for precisely two nanoseconds. Immediately after that it will crash as we never anticipate the level of demand for the service. Students should be patient, as should their parents, and try again tomorrow.

Alternative facilities that may be useful to both students and parents may be found near your local high street. For further details email [email protected]^

Awake too

Wide awake here and confusing the rabbits who now think that they should be given their breakfast because the lights are on. Tough little bunnies, it's too early!

Just starting watching celebrity masterchef on iplayer. Damn! There's only 1 episode. Normally on these occasions I have a whole series to watch! Boo.

Five hours, 13 minutes. Leaving at 7.30, school at 8am. Oh God!

Oh God I'm going to be forced to go on Twitter at this rate for something to do. Just spoken to DS, he's going to try to sleep now. Alarms set for 7.

Need just amount of distraction series to watch on catch up!

Won't twitter have too much exam related stuff? Went to bbc news app. Mistake! They're headlining results day.

I think I'm going to go to bed. It'll take me an hour to get the teenage one out of bed in the morning so I'll need all the sleep I can get...who am I kidding?

the phone is coming with me

You're all getting results at 8? DD can't go until 9. You will have snapped up all the best uni places won't you

Oh for crying out loud. I snoozed but am now awake again.

Why can't she go until 9?

Ds has just had an email from his first choice uni confirming his place :D

Well done to your DS

The Laid Back Two (my lot) are still asleep. I suppose it won't affect the results. School opens at 9am to get them.

My daughter's still asleep! I've been awake most all night.

results in 15 mins on college website

Hello. Can I join the parent insomniac team? Had about 4 hrs sleep DS had about 6 hrs left to walk up to school, wouldn't let me take him or even speak to him this morning, no emails here so far. Feel sick. Good luck

Three tired teenagers have gathered at the end of my bed.

School doesn't open until 8.30am. Come on track!

She's in! Exter :)
