decision on 1st March? Anyone want to sit and sweat it out with me?

Thanks SoImpatient I'll stay up then.

foxache yes thats midnight tonight. Midnight friday is the 2nd x

Arrrggghhh! I have a nervous knot in my stomach! Tomorrow is going to dddrrraaagggg I just know it!

Daft question coming...

Our school admissions page says allocations will be visible after midnight on 1st March, this means tonight doesn't it, not midnight Friday?

Dh might be more nervous about it than I thought - he has just signed in to see if it was available early on the webpage log in. (it wasn't)

I have just logged in and it now says i will be told on 2 march 2013...... anyone else got this..... it used to say 1 march 2013

In cheshire you can log on from 12.30 tonight although they said it will be done in batches so no gaurantee it will be there at 12.30.
I will still be sitting up, will check at 12.30 and then if nothing go to bed, saying that I can see me staying up till it comes through
One thing that has got me worried is at the moment if I go on to the website there is nothing on there about high school applications and the log in has disappeared
Arrgggghhhh dont know if my nerves can handle this for another few hours

I would like it settled. Not too bothered where DD goes but would like to make plans.
Website is fuzzy, implies decisions will be posted (no mention of email) tomorrow afternoon. So might not get letter until Tuesday next week.

Wishing you all lots of luck! My very first post on MN, was about waiting for results for DD. She's 17 now.

Whatever happens, remember your lo's are still very young and there is plenty of time to turn around what you might initially think is the wrong decision.

Luckily DD had the decision we wanted, but plenty didn't. AFAIK, all those now 17 year olds have grown into lovely teenagers, who managed to get exactly where they needed to be in life so far.

I'll be logging on at midnight too, I hope the system can handle us all

Good luck everyone.

I feel your pain...

In the last three years I have waited for
A senior school place (DD2 2010)
A primary school place (DS 2011)
A university place (DD1 2012)

In 2010 the LEA server crashed with the volume of traffic and I had to wait 2 days to find out.

Counting down the hours here - we can log on from 9.30am.
Checked today and the button next to her name has changed from 'view application' to 'view offer', but it was just trasing me, no answer yet.

DD is the only girl in her school to pass 11+, but as we live out of the borough (by 3 houses!) we don't get an automatic place. There's so much guessing involved - it's the first year the school has a year 7 so everything's different. Last year only 6 girls passed and didn't get a place, but who knows for this year?

2nd choice is ok, it's where the vast majority of her school will go on to, but I feel that the grammar is a better fit for her.

Cake please! 16.5hrs to go

DS now saying I'm not to look without him I think they'll be on-line from 1am here IIRC. So, not sure what to make of his latest pronouncement, though was thinking of leaving it till early morning/ breakfast anyway - I quite like my sleep !

I'm starting to get a bit twitchy about this. If DD doesn't get the one that she really wants then the realistic alternatives are simultaneously mediocre and miles away. It should all go the way she wants but you can't help but worry, can you?

Our local council is saying that the allocations will be available "late evening on 1 March". I hope it's earlier.

Just hoping it doesn't crash with everyone logging in at once!

My DSs are with their dad tonight and he's taking them to school tomorrow. We aren't on speaking terms, unfortunately, but if I get the news early enough then I'll want to let DS3 know. Maybe I'll hang around the school gate in disguise...

Obviously I'll let their dad know at some point tomorrow.

Did someone (a while back) mention lemon drizzle cake ?

I hope it's not all gone, but you saved a piece for me !

I'm a bit twitchy and nervous as waiting for news for DS ( and had my crazy panicky dream last night - the one I always have !) - hoping he will get a place at DD's great (secondary) school.

Am quite excited as he should have a good chance being a sibling for one thing .... but did I fill everything out right, have checked on-line and all seems present and correct ?

Need tea and cake ! Or stronger

Hope my sister's little girl gets the school they want for her too - she'll be starting school in September.

Good luck to all !

Ellen that's good news. There is no facility for us to log on to anything here.

Tell them we want the information at 0:00!

My LA says the admissions system will be updated 'from midnight' tonight and we can login to find out from that, emails are sent in the morning. I'll be on here at 00.01, you can be sure.

Our admissions website says we will find out before 12 noon tomorrow. They must be covering themselves....surely they'll come before that.

They know already....they must have known for months! I can't believe somebody somewhere has my son's name on a list. Somebody has that KNOWLEDGE and is torturing us like this! Arggh!

I know someone who works in the IT department, and she mentioned in passing that one of her other colleagues was setting up the links to the server and the prompts to send out the emails.

They are not involved in the allocation process at all, just the delivery of the information!

I wish everything was standard across the UK.

How do you know, Manky?

Ours definitely go out at 00.00 overnight tonight!

Not as sweaty as last year with DS1 - DS2 should get in as sibling but nothing is guaranteed is it these days !
