mad innit!!!

And here I am ...   a year later...   starting to feel all the same screwed up emotions cos she is gonna be leaving me again in a few weeks

Well done on your boys AS results Moomin (an easier year for you this year)....

If I knew my bloody daughters results I might not be feeling so sentimental towards her...   I might actually be getting her packed & ready to go back to school and hit the books with a dirty great rocket up her rear end!

Awww Ditty - I shall never forget the support you gave me last year

I'm sure Ickle must have done ok - she did really well last year, didn't she?

yeah.... her GCSE's were outstanding.

She did really well with her first results at xmas too!    It was the following ones (they may have been mocks) that nose dived.    It has been a mixed blessing her getting that scholarship...   she initially discovered having a social life.... and her academics went to pot!

The crappy results (first time ever for her)... really shook her up though...  so hopefully (fingers crossed) todays results (whenever I get them)..   will be better.

I know she started to get back into a better studying regime during her last term.

southampton was her first choice........but she's been having a look and she'd be ok at winchester which she'd be happy with

oooh.... another one that's on my daughters list too! 

my great uncle used to be the Dean of Southampton Uni

Oh that's good news Spongie

ditty xx soopes xx........she's been trying to look at uni's reasonably close to home......(keeps the old cost down!)......she did look at b'mth uni which would be ideal as its about 10 mins away from our house.......but i don't think they do the course she wants

ditty how weird would it be if our daughters ended up at southampton?.....they'd be like 'my mum goes on this weird bb forum'.....'oh god! mine too!'.......

I've not heard from Blizz Junior, so I've been to the school and picked up his envelope.

Now, I have to wait until about 6, when he gets home from work!

I have heard... she passed all 8.. she is very happy... i cried inside ... i think that was when  she said she was bringing a bottle of wine home tonight. for us ..

hahaha!  Oh yes!   this is pretty much the way I am looking at it too.   

  and then it would be... 

"my mum is a Cow"...  
"my mum is spongebob squarepants"

omg!!   well done her (& you)...   

Evelyn, congrats to her!

Good of her to get us wine.

You have a kettle, right?

It's so tempting!

Awwww
Right all good news so far, it's five o'clock somewhere:

We won't tell

I'll have some for my nerves!

Well done to all the Gaga offspring   

I can't imagine the stress and nerves in the A2 year!   Reading about all the A2 results is making me all nervous about next year already!!

My son got his AS results today (A, B, D). He was very happy, and a bit shocked because the B and D were the opposite way round to what he had expected

Spongey, my son is looking at uni's close by too. Only the closest isn't really that close. We're not sure whether staying at home will offset the travel costs to make it worth while yet.

To be honest, as painful as it would be, I would prefer him to move away and get the "full" uni experience, but he doesn't seem to care about that and would rather stay at home. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

How come my kids try to move as far away as possible?

Awww go on then, suppose I'd better keep you company

Is it his ASs or A2s Bliz? (so I can try and think of the right thing to say if his lack of work is reflected in the results!!!)

 Thanks guys  

I hope she gets in soon its nearly wine O'clock

Wooo, chink chink   fizzzzzzzzzz  to you all *bottoms up and all tha' *

8, blimey! Well done her

Well done to all the Gaga offspring (as someone just said), they're a very clever bunch

A2s, Supes.

Don't remind me about his AS results!

*** downs the champers ***

Just got a text from daughter...     they used the satellite phone on the boat to phone the school for the results... 
 

She got A's in all 5 AS's!!!

(meaning.... together with the A in Engineering AS she got last year...   she has got 6 x Grade A A/S's now)

am beaming!

Ditty, just replied elsewhere, BRILLIANT

Ditty, that's brill!

I may not put Blizz Junior's in here, now!

Congrats to all Gaga offspring on their results 

Ta Soops!

I think we are going to crack a bottle of bubbly right now (shame Ickle can't be here to share it )

I can't bloody believe it...   the girl has done so well to pull the grades back up!

Congrats to all of the Gaga offspring on their A-Level results.

please do!!

Ickle's grades are what they should bloody well be...   its expected of her... she is on a £60k scholarship!  

Put it this way, as proud as I am of her...   I am even more impressed with Ducky's boy getting his B in Statistics...  cos I know how much he was struggling earlier this year.   Its all relative n all that!

Well done  Little Ditty ... and to Blizzie whatever the results are ...

Only joking. I will, really!

   <<< real tears!


Thanks Ditty

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE congrats to Ickle She must be dancing up and down on that boat! (tell her to be careful! )

Dunno Ducky...  we don't know what her friend got...   Ickle may be sitting at the back of the boat grinning...    whilst a parental/child bollocking is going on! 

Sits nervously holding Bliz's hand watching the clock Bliz, what does he want /need?

I have to go and put dinner on   *back to earth with a bang*

But am thinking of you Blizz.....   (just open it! )

Blizz Junior - BBD

He's not happy with the D in History and part of that was a U in his coursework!

He's still going out celebrating, though!

He's having a year off anyway, Supes. Got a job in M&S.

He needs to think hard about whether he's going to apply anywhere, as there's no point, if he doesn't want to study!

Congrats to Blizz Junior.

You can stop chewing your fingernails now! And start supping on the Champers.
