    Yay really chuffed he got a place. :T

    Know how you feel you want to run to them, DD2 is not having good start to this uni year and we are getting calls nearly daily. :(. Some hour long. :eek: and nothing we can really help out with. It's mostly the lack of decent internet access and to think she moved in aug bank hol and still not sorted! :mad: It's included in the hospital accommodation and the company that deal with it are not on site. Last week the accommodations manager was on holiday so week wasted as engineer couldn't access property and DD2 is miles away on GP placement in the day. :(

    Lots happening with applications for foundation year and elective and result not through yet for her masters and back in a hospital first time in over a year she is stressing about her competence. :o. She has also had bad wisdom toothache, toe nail fall off. She is totally stressed can hear it in her voice...

    Aw, hope your DD feels better soon, it's unnerving when you doubt your own competence, I'm sure we've all been there, and to me it is a trait of the genuine professional. It's the ones who feel they know it all that are the real worry. So hugs to her, and to you for having to take the fallout, it's stressful for you when you feel you can't help but often just listening helps them shed the angst and move forward again. x

    And hugs to you and your DS too, LEJC. x



    Must be something in the air about an uneasy settling into the new academic year, as DGD doesn't like juniors much. Bit of a shock after the cosseting of infants. At 7 she has reaffirmed that she still wants to become a teacher (she decided this would be a nice job ever since starting school) but now says she will teach infants as juniors are far too cheeky and naughty... :rotfl:
