Glad the three of us with twins all now have twins sorted out with places. I still think one of mine will be upgraded to AAA like his twin (on a remark) but that is not that important for now (although AAA is a requirement for some jobs - it's the threshold so it could be very important - it was the D (of the AAAD on that subject) that led to the B overall for that grade- that one weird D. I was thinking about it in bed. Anyway we shall see. At least they both got in and are happy and I am very pleased for them.
Namechanger - how awful. I hope they sort it out today. If they got the grades then they will get the place. Universities are still filling places. My sons' friend is waiting for a call today - he doesn't want his back up choice now despite choosing it originally so trying to get in somewhere else. Over 25% got all As and 75% got 3 A* or A at my sibling's children's school which is very good indeed (this is not at my twins' school or I should say "old school").
Yes I will also be alone/ child free in mid September and my son says I am the only parent in the country who is looking forward to it (although I am sure I will miss them). May be I will crying into the phone at them by 1 October. My older son is moving into his own house at almost exactly the same time depending on the precise date his tenants move out and my second grand daughter is due the same weekend so it will be quite a weekend particularly now the twins know they will be at the same university (thus the same weekend), but probably different halls as they applied to different ones - we find out mid next week according to Bristol's website about halls.
Mind you students are home half the year anyway and my older 3 came back after graduation - the girls for 2 years of law school in London and even after that until they were able to afford somewhere else so I reckon it will be about 6 years before the twins are completely gone.
Good luck to those still looking today for a place.
