Congratulations! Lovely news. Clearly it was wearing the correct attire that swung it for you Grin

That's lovely, glad you have that behind you now Smile

Congratulations!

But what did you wear ? Wink

Congratulations :) It's a great feeling isnt it, I'll admit to having a little cry afterwards! Think it was the relief :)

Thanks all. It feels good to have gotten through it.

Kristina- I wore a leopard print halter neck with a leather skirt and boots. Grin

Excellent. I trust they were lace up stilettos and not FLy London or Ugg boots .

And what did DP wear ?

Absolutely! Dp wore a Hawaiian style shirt with 3/4 length shorts and sandals with socks.
We rocked!

Congratulations Flowers we've been told were going to panel late Aug and hadn't even thought about what clothes to wear until I seen this post Shock. How did you find the process?

I have found it all okay other than the lack of organisation and communication. Even panel was okay really.

Something harmless to obsess about - I love that comment RatherBeIndoors :-) I'm off to panel for the second time this Wednesday and yes I know I shouldn't be as stressed this time, yes I am aware I'm in quite a good position but I am already terrified - apparently all the trains will not be working, my car won't start and the roads will be under 3' of water - jeez will I ever chill!

Good luck belle, Since this thread we have been to our second panel and it was okay. No worse than the first. We start intro's soon.

Thank you Rosieandjim89 I seem to remember it being really quick, like a matter of weeks from panel to my soc worker showing me details of dd1 was yours quick too?

stinkybelle · 18/09/2016 08:34

Ah that'll teach me to read properly! Sussex out dates now, so yours was really quick too Smile good luck with intros.. I have to say I found them very intense first time, I also felt like I was intruding, but the family was so lovely and completely made me feel as much at ease as they possibly could (we are all great friends now)

Sussex = sussed
