Anyone else got butterflies waiting for primary school allocation??

Hi there, I live in Essex and news of our Primary school allocation for our first child, comes through on 1st April.
Everytime I think of it my stomach churns! I had no idea I would be so anxious to hear and nervous of the result. All the schools in our area are either very good or perfectly acceptable, but I think it's the process of picking three - it makes you feel anything less just won't do.
I'm not a great school fan and aginsied over the decision process ('cos I'm lousy at decision making on this kind of thing )
I'm just looking for a few others out there who can relate and are chewing their fingernails!!
Or are you all just cool as cucumbers - very if you are. tell me what your secret is!!

well cillit I have a red dot for my first and second choice schols and a purple dot for my fourth, needless to say we have been turned down for all 3 (got a no for the third too). Another school came up purple yet I know there would be no chance (religious selection usually have to live very close and can't take all applicants at all)so I'm not too sure how accurate it is for here.
Still interesting site and the postcode one too it confirms that the council has measured our distance incorrectly!

We're still waiting - May-the-bleeding-seventh here in Brighton
