Have to confirm indep school before state school results... help!

Boring for most people i know but i am in turmoil!
I have an indep school place for DD1 (reception sept 08) and they are now chasing me to confirm the place. However, we do not hear about the state school allocation until next Thursday evening and my first choice state school is my preference.

They phoned me yesterday to ask me to confirm or release the place, (probably because Surrey state schools allocation came out last week and now they have children clamouring for places, but that's a whole other thread).

How best to stall them? To confirm the place costs a further £250 (I have already paid a registration fee) which i am prepared to pay if i have to, however if i break the T&Cs by pulling out, i have to pay a term's fees - which i am not prepared to.

Any advice wise mnetters?

yes, and "honesty is the best policy"

i was conjuring up all sorts of stories last week, dh possibly relocating abroad with work, etc etc... glad they took me by surprise with the call and i just said the truth. I bet they hear all sorts!
