Is it for schools?

MrsMopple · 31/03/2009 16:10

Poor you - you live in the wrong county. We got ours yesterday and were very happy with the contents. And got the letter this morning. Sorry, that doesn;t help you much, does it? Hope you get the school that you want

AnnieSham, emails are only if you did the application online. If you did hard paper copies you'll get a letter tomorrow.

Annie, you should be able to call them up tomorrow and they might be able to give you an answer over the phone, if you get too impatient.

AnnieShamrockInYourEar · 31/03/2009 16:25

ooh, you know everything! Thanks!
Anything yet!?

AnnasBananas · 31/03/2009 16:26

Basically the website reads along the lines that you will get told where to go if you phone up!!

No nothing yet, just made a pain in the arse of myself and rang them up, they said they have 5,000 to send out and they are all going out after 4.00pm, if nothing comes through by 7.30pm we are to ring them up. Why on earth didn't they just send them out this morning instead of having us wait all blardy day for this sodding email.

I worried for a minute that I hadn't had my email but our date is 7th April from Norfolk County Council.
