i was sat in the canteen with my parents madly flicking through my notes, you might have sat at the table like infront of where we were :smile:

Oooh we go there about 12ish I think! Sat in the coffee place on the corner right by it....sort of thing :tongue:

There was a girl sat behind me but she had blonde hair and was with one person...

I had the opposite problem, I just waffled on like a caffeine-charged fool and didn't get anywhere near the end of my speech LOL! Hope you get an offer - if you do, where will you decide to go?

I always try and meet as many people as possible, thats why I prefer it when parents are banned from open days/interviews because it makes it much easier to have conversations with other vetty people without parents attempting to dominate it.

Lolz I went to all my interviews alone this year for that very reason. I feel more relaxed and socialise better when they aren't there.

Elizabeth was indeed held at Hatfield but that was earlier in her life, when Henry sent her there.

Bloody Mary put 'liz under house arrest at Woodstock

Just a wonderment. I know a fair number of people are on hold post-interview at Bristol now - and interviews are pretty much over now, right? So the "on-holdies" will be getting re-considered.

Anyone have any idea of the proportions of people given offers, having been placed in the on-hold category?

LOL don't go there, I have no inspiration for you. Tesco and regular placements (vets stables etcetera) for 4-5 days a week, weekend I don't do much :|

And then my holiday allowances from work all go into solid 1-2 week placements, like farm work, etcetera. Got 2 weeks lambing coming up shortly.

And that's about the lot. I would have gone abroad but realistically, I needed to get saving for uni.
