We are happy and relieved to have been offered our first choice of primary school for September. Obviously something else has moved seemlessly into the worry void this good news created. I've been in touch with the afterschool club and they said spaces are very limited. They are contacting the parents who use it currently to see if they still need it then will send out registration packs once they know what spaces they have. First come first served. I have a 2nd option that I can apply for now, they will collect DD from the school and take her to a place nearby. I would much, much prefer the on site option. If I apply for my second option I have to agree to pay the first terms fees, whether I use the place or not. I can't really just apply for it to hold the place in case I don't get a place at the on site one. I'm absolutely torn about whether to just go for the second, less preferred option so that I know it's sorted or hold my nerve for a few weeks and risk not getting a space anywhere. I also need to put in a change of hours request at work and I want to do it as soon as possible and get in before the other woman who has a child starting school. My DH is worried about his job though and wants me to hold off until after lockdown and see how secure his job is. If he loses it I'd want to request to go full time.
I don't know why I'm posting really. DH doesn't really seem interested in talking about it but I couldn't sleep for throwing options around in my head. It never bloody ends does it?
