Anyone else feeling like we do about the impending Offers Day?

Not at all a foregone conclusion that DS will get into any of first five choices (all selective, two 11+ passes, one 11+ result due this coming week) so rather up in the air.... Sixth choice is okayish but DS has talked it down to the point that he is now desperately hoping it's not his one and only choice! Otherwise DS is being quite mature about considering that he could end up at any of the schools and is already thinking about which friends from primary school he is likely to stay in touch with etc.....

It all feels a bit as if life is on hold till 1st March.....

Sympathies Gazzalw.... This time last year, I was waiting anxiously and got a bad result. Ds1 passed the 11+ but we didn't get an grammar offer. We then went on to win an oversubscription appeal.
So, I'm here for advice, and a shoulder to cry on as I know exactly what it feels like Smile
