My son gets his A-level results tomorrow. I am in a right state, though he seems OK.
Pass the Valium.

Thanks! I'm sure I wasn't this nervous for my own exam results! Can't wait for it to be over whatever the outcome.

We were discussing this on the Aussie thread - a number of people walking on eggshells while their sons or daughters are waiting for their results :-0

Just about coming down off the ceiling. God, what stress.
Only downside - he's leaving in 4 weeks.
Back to the Valium.

So pleased for you both. Hope he now makes good use of his chances.
Like your sweet Williams Rose, mine were a disaster this year.

Thanks.
Now for a month of preparation. I am really pleased for him but I'll miss him loads. He has dyspraxia (lots of probs with writing, memory, organisation - bit of an absent-minded professor scenario!) so it's been a real battle for him to achieve this and I am so proud of him.

Thanks a million. I think I have calmed down now!! There is a lot of support for students with any kind of leaning difficulty at uni (unlike at school, but let's not go there) so I am very hopeful for his future. It's very exciting!
