Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and a relaxing time coming with it. Christmas is such an odd time, exactly what it should be for many, but also so stressful for many who try their best to please everyone, so hope it was the first for all. We had an interesting dinner with OH's mum more or less telling DD that she was making a mistake going for Medicine, that she'll still have many years of studying, so there was no point in celebrating now as she was far still from being a doctor, and she'll probably change her mind along way any way. Bless her, I put it down to age and DD dealt with it admirably. Ironically, I was thinking was great practice this was for her future interviews, so thank you MIL :)
2B1Gmum, I'd missed your previous post, so thank you 
. How did the Xmas even party go?
About Manchester, DD sent me the email she received and read the link, and it says somewhere that they would hear within a couple of weeks I think. I think they only have two weeks of interviews? I really liked the way their email was written, very friendly and helpful. Now need to book train and hotel as can't bear the prospect of the long drive. I didn't realise that Manchester was that far away from home!!
Thank you Mommy for your best wishes. I agree that this thread has been very supportive (besides one individual who we won't name and got it all wrong anyway!) and I expect this will continue until all our DC are settled next September and beyond.
