Is anyone else dying to find out which school they have been allocated?

This is for my PFB which makes it extra difficult for me :(

I can't talk about it in real life as it starts off as a nice casual conversation ending with some delusions of grandeur PFB nonsense Blush

Your starters poster MTWTFSS are what we normally go for two with the addition of won tons.

I wish we could order some takeaway, but DH insisted on ordering Sushi for game of thrones so I can't break his once a month rule Sad

seafoodeatit · 15/04/2015 12:45

too* clearly, the caffeine is effecting my typing!

Gileswithachainsaw · 15/04/2015 12:45

leave him the sushi and order a pizza for 1?

Thank you mrspuddleduckie and Gileswithachainsaw. Mixed blessings. We're bound to have to go through appeal, so perhaps getting the news at midnight is not so great... Ahhhh. Watch this space. Good luck everyone. :)

MTWTFSS · 15/04/2015 12:50

seafoodeatit The won-tons at this particular place are terrible so we don't bother. All the rest of the food is delicious Grin

Sushi for game of thrones Shock I personally would have roasted a small joint of lamb on the bone then passed around while watching in true carnivore style!

DH seems to think sushi is healthier and therefore bypasses his usual guilt at getting takeaway, he clearly doesn't count the huge pile of fried rice and curry!

At this point my dinner is only consisting of wine ...

Gileswithachainsaw · 15/04/2015 12:56

And good luck to you ms Flowers

At this point my dinner is only consisting of wine

MTWTFSS that's fantastic! Wine

Giles wine is quite nutritious I'm sure of it Grin I'm sure it'll have less calories than DH's steak.

Gileswithachainsaw · 15/04/2015 13:04

I've just got to get through cooking it for the girls. they were looking forward to steak

longestlurkerever · 15/04/2015 13:16

I wish I could have wine and takeaway to get me through but pregnancy plus gestational diabetes is a bit restrictive on the treat front! Have just been reading the new Ofsted report for first choice school. What I have taken from it is that is an embarrassingly middle class school with unreasonably low levels of kids from disadvantaged backgrounds, given our quite mixed neighbourhood. Still want her to get a place though!

Nannyplum2015 · 15/04/2015 13:16

We get our allocation at midnight. I wonder why they can't do this across the board? I've heard some have to wait until the evening tomorrow!

3asAbird · 15/04/2015 13:17

I firer up netbook logged into emails and link defiantly not workinh. Not sure my user name or password correct defiantly right email.

Had to 4 rush off then nursery with sobbing clingy 4 year old as he's had 2weeks off dead think what he's like in school and pick up my 5.8year old from other nursery class she's had fab day.

We not decided if I go home I obsess so gone for rather naughty option if hanging round local pub beer garden meeting a mate and a cheeky half might calm me down as garden looks like crap as hubby can't be bothered to sort it.

If I can't log on midnight will have wait until tommorow.

MTWTFSS · 15/04/2015 13:22

3asAbird I'd call up the council today about log-in details as tomorrow they will be insanely busy!

MTWTFSS I'll be here most of the day, I have housework to do but I think I will only be peeling myself off the sofa for another can of coke. I'm trying to pass the time going through the acronym page - SAHM no matter how many times I read it just sounds like an angry teenager - stay at home, mother.

3as I too would be calling the council and getting them to sort the log in details out.

Longest are you able to have diabetic chocolate?

RatOnnaStick · 15/04/2015 13:28

Its emails from 4pm and can log on after 5pm for me. I just logged on now and it just takes me to a holding page with a link back to general admissions information.

I guess I will just have to be patient for another 27ish hours...

longestlurkerever · 15/04/2015 13:53

seafood - I haven't tried it actually. Maybe I should get some - does it actually taste like chocolate?

Haha re SAHM. I am technically working from home but in reality trying to learn hacking so I can get into Council computer before tomorrow.

nutelladipper · 15/04/2015 13:56

How do people know what times you can find out?
I wish I knew! At 21 wks pregnant I don't want to stay up to midnight for no reason!!!

Gileswithachainsaw · 15/04/2015 14:01

It was on the local council Web site. We also received emails over past few days telling us.

longestlurkerever · 15/04/2015 14:04

My council website just says "evening" - grr. It also suggests downloading parent comms app though so have done that in case it results in earlier notification. Anyone else got this? It doesn't fill me with confidence that it'll actually work.

Gileswithachainsaw · 15/04/2015 14:45

Well even more bad news. just seen the new timetables. totally not possible now not even a hint of doable for two schools Sad

MTWTFSS · 15/04/2015 14:50

Oh Giles ((hugs))

Is there anyway you can appeal?
