I’m still the only one awake in my house. DTs collect at 10am from school.

Neither are sure what they want me to do other than buy them breakfast and drive them there.

So I’ll probably end up hovering somewhere hoping neither of them forget to come and tell me Smile

Feature of R4 regarding the pressure of sharing results on social media! Does that include us as well?

PeggySchuylar · 23/08/2018 08:32

Wow justice a full house of A*. Well done to your DS

@alwaysh1ding I just got a tear in my eye seeing your dds results. Massive well done to you both for getting through the year Flowers

Lots of good news here. Well done to all Star

Justice great results. Congrats to all

Stickerrocks · 23/08/2018 08:35

Chunter In the Archers last week, Lizzie was agonising over her wayward son's A level results and completely forgot to ask her grade A twin daughter how she had got on. I can't imagine the pressure of having two to worry about on the same day.

justicewomen · 23/08/2018 08:36

Thank you so much. Good luck to everyone today and hope your offspring get the results for the next adventure in their lives (I was a much more average student but have done some interesting and rewarding things in my life)

ReservoirDogs · 23/08/2018 08:37

Great results justice and always.

As long as everyone gets what they need for the next step.

cubscout · 23/08/2018 08:37

Justice many congrats to your ds.
Ds now debating is he going to walk with friends (raining...) or get a lift. I have offered them all a lift - will be leaving soon as school open at 9.
Good luck to all our Star still waiting.

sandybayley · 23/08/2018 08:37

Pleased to hear from @AlwaysHid1ng - you e had a tough year so glad it's worked out for your DD.

DS1 has just had a rant about the R4 piece on brain development in 16 year olds. Which kind of proves the point that was because me made about immaturity.

TerfTerf2 · 23/08/2018 08:39

justice big congrats to your DS!

veiledsentiments · 23/08/2018 08:39

Couple of 5s, 6s, 7s and B's here. Not sure if the IT grade will be high enough to continue. Think school wanted a 6. But good enough. Well done to all.

TerfTerf2 · 23/08/2018 08:41

Well done veiled mini! 🤞for the IT

Posted on a couple of older threads so thought I'd join you again in the wait today.
Dd is going in at 10.15 to get her results. I've had a look at grade boundaries but not mentioned it to her. I think it'll just stress her too much.
Good luck everyone. Hope all your DCs are happy.

HesMyLobster · 23/08/2018 08:49

DD and friends have just gone in - I'm waiting in the car!
Agonising!!

TheThirdOfHerName · 23/08/2018 08:50

@justicewomen
Very well done to him!

TerfTerf2 · 23/08/2018 08:50

Hope you've got a 'coffee' cup, lobster Grin

HesMyLobster · 23/08/2018 08:52

Terf of course!! Wink

Stickerrocks · 23/08/2018 08:52

Snozzle Many years ago I had to drive around chasing the postman to find out what I had got as the school popped them in the post and we lived very rurally. I was down there at the weekend. Hope your DD gets what she wants.

southnownorth · 23/08/2018 08:53

Some great results on here, well done.

DD has just arrived at school, just waiting to hear now. It is agonising!

JufusMum · 23/08/2018 08:53

Well done to mini veil

Stressedoverkids · 23/08/2018 08:54
