So a while ago I saw a few threads on York and one of the mums suggested that we start a sort of Yorkies thread once everyone had results and knew where they were going.

I have a DD going who will be in James college

Anyone else?

Not tummy issues here, but like Londoncalling1989 lots of colds and coughs also due to burning the candle at both ends too much

Same situation as @londoncalling1989… Dd is in Anne Lister and has had a cough for weeks. She saw a gp when she came home for Easter and is now on antibiotics… no upset stomach though

Thanks ladies, normal fresher behaviours!

DD reckons there’s lots of police around Anne Lister today. They’re in the building by hers and she’s getting a bit worried.

wizzler · 17/04/2026 21:00

Just asked Dd.. said there were 2 police cars but doesn’t know anymore. Not sure if she’s amazed or horrified that I hear from Mumsnet what’s happening in her world !

SockFluffInTheBath · 17/04/2026 21:51

Ha 😁 thanks wizzler, can’t be anything too awful.

Hey guys how are you all ? Anyone planning on putting their ds stuff in storage over the summer ? If so what company and how much ?

as its a long way to transport all that crap home

Pickfords.

Thankfully DD’s new house contract starts about 2 weeks before halls ends. I say thankfully, it eases the move- halls to house rather than halls to home to house- but it means I’m paying £1/mth for an empty room
over the summer.

SockFluffInTheBath · 28/05/2026 19:54

£1/mth, oh I wish 😂

Can't believe that is first year over! It seems to have flown by. My DD has made some great friends and had loads of fun. I don't think she wants to come home, but I am excited to have her back for a bit. Wonder what the summer will be like in terms of adjusting to being back at home...

wizzler · 08/06/2026 11:13

Currently stood outside Anne Lister as Dd brings bags to the car. Can’t believe year 1 has gone so fast.

I'm glad to say, my DC put bedding and kitchen items in storage and hopped on a 22 quid train home. Hoping their journey back in Sept is equally straightforward.

Which storage facility company did they use ?
We've got our dd back, she's now about to go off on a big holiday with her school/home friends
This year has gone so fast
