Am I the only one who feels nervous for members of this forum on the day they sit their viva? I keep checking here constantly!

ditto :$, have been constantly checking since this morning which is silly as I don't think she had a 7am viva!! Fingers crossed for her :-)

Yip, wishing her all the very best.

Yes...I have been looking at the forum since this morning too. Realistically she won't be able to let us know until she is back home and spent some time with the kids etc. :p

Hi all, so sorry for the delay in getting onto the forum but it has been a mad day!  Had my viva this morning starting at 1030 which lasted for two hours of grilling mainly from my external. At one point I couldn't answer a question and thought 'oh well that's blown it'.  However, about half way through I managed to turn the tables around and felt much more comfortable with it. So then I was sent out with my sup for a debrief of our own before being called back for the verdict. I passed with minor corrections!!!!  Some of the corrections are somewhat tedious and I wish I had been a little more forthright but well its done now. So we all had lunch together before me leaving for home at 1530.  Took about 4 hours drive to get home to three very excitable toddlers who have now been put to bed. Corinne - you were spot on about my absence on the forum. So now I can sit down, have a glass of wine and let it sink in.  Must say I am still rather numb with the days events, what an emotional rollercoaster!

Thank you so much for all of your support, the members of this forum have been amazing (up)

Fantastic news - congratulations!!! I'm delighted for you. Well done!!!(up)

Mackem_Beefy, I do follow the progress of people on here and genuinely feel for them on the few occasions things have not gone to plan. I also love to read the positive stories and genuinely feel relieved and happy for people when they pass.

Again Dunni, many congratulations!!!
