I can't believe that no-one else is around....

What a night.... seasick doesn't come into it! Land is in sight..... I feel for everyone having to wait for late post - we found out yesterday that we are allowed to go in to collect results - at least 3 hours less wait for us!

Anyway, what I'm here to say is that I wish everyone the best of luck today ..... what will be, will be.

This forum has been most welcoming and a valuable resource. May it carry on doing great things long past these current passengers have disembarked....

Longest night

Have been awake most the night. :shock: I was more relaxed when the kids were born! Not really nervous, I suppose more anxious to get the results out. Wishing everyone good luck for today.

Can't escape it, its on the news, only an hour to go. Thank you everyone for your wise words. If it hadn't been for this forum I would have thought my DS was the only one to have found NV difficult this year!

Blimey that's a lot more!

Waiting at home this morning with DD - postie comes at 9.30ish. Break a leg to all your DD's and DS's, at least the waiting will be over.

Good luck everyone! Still haven't found my sealegs yet and feel really queasy. Won't get post till lunchtime probably, but will keep watching. Have to go out for a bit later on, unfortunately...!

Go get him, theycando it. Get you sprinting shoes on - I hear that Royal Mail have been giving them special training for weeks so they have a fair chance against adrenalin- fuelled parents!
