Way to go! Well done!  xx

Hope the stress levels are going down

I shall look out for you if they make another episode!!! The wall woman made miniature replicas of sections of the wall and slept with them 

the bloke with the cars claims to have a physical relationship with them ...thankfully (and I do mean THANKFULLY)...they only showed him licking, kissing and caressing them 

*tries to banish images of Duck licking a chinook from mind*

Congrats to you and Your Son Ducky.Great stuff. xx 

Just hope your stress levels are down a tad as well. 

Oh booger..my manners are still appalling...

Well done to Mini Moomin on his results  and a big well done to Moomin for surviving the day!!

Moomin, that site was was an absolute disgrace today!!

It was hours before anyone could confirm if they had uni places! A whole morning wasted.....not knowing if they were going to have to go through clearing or not.

Of course the uni's themselves were then overwhelmed with calls....so those genuine clearing cases were having to fight to talk to someone, because those with uni places were also ringing up trying to get confirmation.

Oooh I forgot to say what he got I was saying to him earlier that this constant focus on uni places makes you forget to celebrate the results in their own right

He got an A in Statisitics....B in Economics.....and D in Applied Science.

I'm all sorted for September, I didn't do A levels... decided to go and do a btec as I thought the idea of no exams sounds like a walk in the park, however, I really was wrong It was no walk in the park at all, coursework every day for two years, was also doing work over Christmas as there was so much to do.

All worth it in the end, got a DDD so happy days, on to Uni in mid september for Garden Design, I am in two minds though... I may possibly go onto a law degree in a years time if I change my mind, always had an interest in it but been abit nervous about going into it. Don't want to feel pushed to one side because I not done subjects that are related in the past... I do have the qualifications to go onto the course, would be abit of a strange change to go from Garden Design to Law but I suppose I will just have to wait and see.

Thanks Ev

That's the first thing I thought, well done Moomintroll

I love that bridge too - it's awesome ............bloody expensive though in comparison to other crossings/bridges. Well done to Duds - I'm not too far away from Hull - I agree it's a great place - very understimated IMO - I love Hull Truck Theatre!

It was shocking wasn't it - as if parents and pupils weren't already in a state, they had no idea what stage they were at as regards clearing. Glad you survived.

Brilliant - well done to you

If you ever want a garden to practise on just PM me, okay

Well done Mr Pie

Hope it works out well for you which ever direction you decide to go in.

My big sis did a Law degree....and she was very nervous about going into it too! But she loved it...and is now very happy practising family law. If it's what you really want make sure you go for it!

I was just going to say that!!!! Well done Mince 

Yes, she got ABCD in her ASs, so think she may need to rethink the Oxford plan!

Moomin - glad it all worked out well, well done to your boy

I think you deserve a glass (or bottle!) of something tonight after your stressy day

Well I asked first, so get in the queue 

Well done on your results ...................the difference between Garden Design and Law is pretty wide . Is it too late to have taster days? It's a big decision - the more info you have the better in order that you make an informed choice.

Ohhhh, good grades, well done to her

I too have to go over the Humber Bridge - it's very expensive though. My son hasn't received a pack or anything yet, probably cos it was only his insurance choice. Not sure what accommodation he will end up in either, as first choice people get their pick first. However, I'm just relieved he got in and doesn't have to go through clearing.

It's great they are going to the same place - we will have to compare notes!!!!

Don't worry Rexi - it's standing by!!

Right, all the results are in and everyone did really well, so:

Exactly! Insurance choices are a god send

I'm so excited that I have someone to compare notes with!

I've just been looking at his pack and the semester starts on 26th....but there is a Freshers welcome party on the 24th.....so that's 5 weeks on Saturday! I'm not sure I'm ready!

You'll have to let me know what accomodation he ends up in. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he gets somewhere good.....and somewhere cheap!  My son knows where he's going to be, and has already scouted the place out on google street view

There are way too many laughing smilies in my post..... I think I'm getting a bit giddy.

The champers will calm me down I'm sure Thanks Soops!

I'm very relieved - Growly Jnr got 3As and a B.  She got below her predicted grades in 3 subjects, but I was worried that she would do so much worse having spent much of the last academic year stoned and completely disaffected, until she decided to start working two months before the exams.  She managed to get away without doing any homework in most of her subjects, and taught herself almost the entire maths syllabus because she hardly went to any lessons.  Hopefully she's learnt her lesson, and won't leave everything until the last minute at university. 

Glad to hear Growly Jr. did OK!

Congrats to Growly and Ickle Growly!

just as well..    My dad kinda has it bad for the Humber Bridge!

well done to Growly Jnr..     you sound like you've been as frustrated/worried/stressed/plus a whole lot more as well, too Growly.

YOu should have come & joined Ducky & me in the ship...     we've had tearing our hair out weeks/months this year too.

Just to add..

congrats to everyone else...   sorry if I have missed anyone..      its been a bit of "a day" 

Everyone 

Just a little something to brighten up Ditty's bit of "a day"....

I fink that's the right person

5 weeks - it seems way too soon.

I'm excited for him, but it's just hit me that it'll just be me and OH after that. It will be so strange after 21 years of children in the house.

I just hope his accommodation isn't too grim and that there will some other freshers in the vicinity.

I know! I'm trying not to think of that bit yet! That'll be the next support thread

who cares!!!!

hubba hubba!

ok... my post was at the ?Eric gif 

I'm sure it will be fine Moomin I think the uni's are pretty good are making sure the freshers are together.

Has he had a look on their website at the different types of accomodation they offer? My son is in a uni owned shared house right next to the campus (literally the first house). Hull Uni own streets of houses purely for this purpose.  His first choice however was halls.....three miles away from the campus. So there's quite a variation of different types and distances. All look pretty good to me (from what I've seen) though, so I'm sure what ever he gets he'll be happy.

my youngest two went away to uni in the same year ................my oldest had already left - it was at the time of 9/11 .....................we really were incredibly low for a couple of months - it was HORRIBLE! Then - in the January my grandson was born - life moves on and evolves. I'm a melancholy type of person - I really don't like change TBH - sometimes though - change can be good 

I'm holding on to that thought and running with it Soozy!
