Oh and DD has predicted herself BBC after looking at the mark schemes. Nervy times. Good Luck everyone's DCs xx

Enjoyed my night out. Tried to sleep and it is hopeless. Roaming the house but at least dd is asleep.

Very puzzled as dd's course is now showing as in clearing on the university website but not on ucas.

Sorry you have had bad news Amazing. Hope tomorrow goes well for your dd.

It doesn't get any easier second time around. Can remember sitting here stressing, checking UCAS and email every two minutes this time last year. Good luck to everyone and hearing all the successes tomorrow.

Hello mumslife, I'll join you on the paranoid insomniac bench ????

HocusUcas · 13/08/2015 04:55

Hello , woken up early and pacing about with coffee. A big hello and Brew to anyone else finding it hard to sleep.

circular · 13/08/2015 05:06

Morning all and good luck. Not much longer now.

HocusUcas · 13/08/2015 05:12

Hi Circular. Good Luck .

circular · 13/08/2015 05:30

Thanks Hocus. Wondering whether to get up yet and see if DD awake. Set alarm for 6:30, obviously not needed, despite hitting pillow at 2:30.

GinandJag · 13/08/2015 05:37

2.5 hours to go...

circular · 13/08/2015 05:42

Gin I had the impression it could be from 6:30 onwards, by what others have said re previous years.

GinandJag · 13/08/2015 05:44

DD tells me that UCAS track opens at 8.

duffcake · 13/08/2015 05:46

Morning all. It'll all soon be over Flowers.
Already had 2 coffees, done a pile of ironing and made some bread.
Everyone else is asleep despite me pacing around the house

GinandJag · 13/08/2015 05:51

I'm off to make coffee. No point in going back to sleep.

cathyandclaire · 13/08/2015 05:53

On to second cup of coffee and watching Bake off on the iplayer to try and distract myself.
It's not working.
Good luck all

Decorhate · 13/08/2015 06:03

Morning all. Hopefully we will be put out of our misery in a couple of hours. Had no idea it would be so stressful for the parents! Found lots of notes in dd's room last night with contact details for her firm. She really wants to go there. More than I realised.

EscaMac · 13/08/2015 06:04

Good luck to all DC today. DD still asleep .... Why is it she is asleep and I am wide awake?!!! Even DH is stirring. Roll on 8am for track!

Onestep15 · 13/08/2015 06:04

Only one awake in my house so nice to know I have company online. Good luck everyone!

duffcake · 13/08/2015 06:07

Do we think it's definitely 8am?

A friend told me her DD got an email from the uni overnight 2 years ago.

MrsBartlet · 13/08/2015 06:09

Morning all. Looks like I am not the only one to have a sleepless night. Fingers and toes crossed for all your dc today!

Waitingaround · 13/08/2015 06:10

Ds has collected his results online- he achieved A* A B which is unfortunately not the AAA Durhan wanted - I guess he now has to wait and see what track do... His insurance will accept him with those grades so if not York it is.

cathyandclaire · 13/08/2015 06:11

Those are fantastic grades Waiting, well done to him and fingers crossed for Durham ( although we live near York and it's a great place :) )

EscaMac · 13/08/2015 06:12

onestep you are definately not alone.

duffcake we had a friend who's DD received her confirmation from uni before track went live 3years ago...fingers crossed that we will too receive an email from uni but not sure if one will come ARGH!
