    Thanks Beanie, I have another Birthday on Monday, DS1's 18th:eek: then the dreaded A-level results on Thursday which sickens me if I think about it:o Until the actual results come out we cant make any plans for uni.

    So this will be the difference between what Z would say is useful worrying and Not.

    Maybe go and test the smoke alarm instead.

    That said, hope it all turns out good for your son. I have been through clearance though and its a bit fraught but the end result is usually okay.

    Yeh go and test the smoke alarm!

    DS1 is cooking an "all day breakfast" at the moment......the smoke alarms have been tested several times in the last 20 mins:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Isn't the word "day" part of "all-day breakfast"? Can he not see it's dark outside... ;)

    He has sort of put all his eggs in one basket as he ONLY wants to go to Newcastle, the only other offer he has is for a Uni that he does not want to go to but should get in easily.

    So he wouldnt qualify for clearing

    what will be will be, I just want things to go well for him.......he doesnt seem to care less:o

    Clearing is a bit more than a little fraught me thinks Butti :rotfl:
