Good luck to all DC awaiting O offers tomorrow - the closer it gets, the more anxious I feel. Don’t know what I’ll be like for the next two weeks lol. DS is pretty chilled - at least he’s not mentioned it, and I’ve kept my feelings to myself.

We have a 2 week holiday booked for Christmas. I hope it’s a good idea and is the R&R DS needs as opposed to creating stress. The rest of us will certainly need the break. DD has mocks in Nov and Feb so will be revising both halfterms, so Xmas seems like the most sensible choice. Also works well from a work perspective for DH and myself.

Hmm alcohol is not a bad idea - we finished the Christmas wine and sherry last night but there may be some Baileys knocking about 🤔

DH finished the baileys yesterday 😔

@RIPMatthewperry terrible idea! 😂🍾🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻

I almost don't want to look in case mine has done the same @Redhotchillipeppers

There was a glass with suspicious-looking residue when I loaded the dishwasher this morning 🕵️‍♀️

Good luck to all those waiting to hear from Oxford.
Can't believe we have another 2 weeks one day to wait to from Cambridge 😩

zen1 · 08/01/2024 21:20

Good luck to all those with Oxford applicants for tomorrow - and best of luck to the Cambridge hopefuls too!

I'm just sitting here with DH discussing the randomness of life and how we are even in this position and how I can possibly be worried about it when 2 years ago there was no guarantee that my son would even take his GCSEs!

And I'm drinking wine, well just because.

Good luck to all x

I don't think people have, but thank you.

This one probably needs to fill up tonight as it's better if everyone posts in the same thread.

Lol.I’m doing Dry January…..😩

Wowzers. Good for you though!

MirandaWest · 08/01/2024 21:52

I don’t really drink alcohol which is probably a good thing in this case!

MirandaWest · 08/01/2024 21:53

Have told DD I will be back up for her waking/getting up tomorrow morning as she has a morning exam (and probably won’t get to sleep for a while tonight)

SymmetricalSpinnaker · 08/01/2024 21:55

Good luck to everyone for tomorrow

stoneysongs · 08/01/2024 21:59
