Default voicemail from brighton uni

Well as some of you know I had a voicemail on thurs from admissions at brighton to ask me to ring them regarding base site. I phoned straight back but it was 5 past 4 and they close at 4. So was straight on the phone on constant redial at 9am yesterday morning. It was just constantly engaged or went to voicemail. I emailed too but no responce. I then phoned thru to the school of nursing and midwifery and was told the lady I needed to speak to was off and that I had to ring back monday and no noboby else could help as they didnt know what it was about.
A whole weekend of worrying.
Now I decided it wasnt good as Sooz didnt have a call and we both want the same base site so I had decided in my head that it was to tell me I hadnt got the base site I wanted.
Anyway so last night just before going to sleep, I quickly had a look at another forum and there were two posts on there from thursday. One from Swissmiss saying she had had a phone call to say she hadnt got either her 1st or 2nd choice so she could either defer a year with the guarantee that she had her 1st choice next year or opt to travel to one of the others.
Emmakirk said exactly the same and they are both deferring. Now this was just before I went to bed and I was so upset. Sorry sooz for disserting u like that just didnt want to be in floods of tears.
I so wish I hadnt read it, its a stupid site anyway, I dunno why I logged on. But as much as OH and his mum keep saying wait until monday as your voicemail might be something completely different, but I know it isnt. Its too much of a coincidence.
I was working out with TallPoppy the other night how long it would take to get to the other places and I just cant go anywhere else. I know I said in interview that I would consider....but having now found out that I cant get a student loan, there is no way I can move out of here and just have the bursery coming in, as if I cant pay rent at least here I am with OHs mum so she would help me, but if I was out in student accom I would be thrown out.
I am so gutted.
All I can do I guess is wait until monday and then see if I can appeal or have it looked at again, with the view of looking into the fact that I cant get a student loan so cant move out and just wouldnt be able to afford to petrol to get to somewhere else. If they offered me brighton that wouldnt be too bad, but if I read it correctly both swissmiss and emmakirk both wanted brighton, so I guess thats out of the question.
I cant help but feel absolutly deflated and miserable about it. I was so looking forward to it.
