Am running back and forth from the kitchen refreshing email and cooking spag bol simultaneously.

Nabster · 31/03/2009 16:30

I am hoping for a letter tomorrow.

AnnasBananas · 31/03/2009 16:32

Bang, are they seriously going to be there at 7.30pm to answer the phone??? Council employees???

That would be quite something
Perhaps sending them out one at a time, some saddo typing the same thing over and over, insert name, insert school, press send...

Snail mail for us, Nabster.

Annas my friend has just texted to say she's had her message - it was good news........come on! Her surname begins with V, so not an alphabetical prob...unless they are going backwards! We are R.

We are H!!! Yay for your friend.

Hope you get your first choice, and us too!

AnnieShamrockInYourEar · 31/03/2009 16:37

Good for her, Bang. Is that the same school you want?

No its a different school. We wanted a non-dominational school for DD and hers is catholic. Ours is a lovely school in a leafy village a mile and a half from our house, we are right on the outskirts of the nearest small town, there's hardly any houses between here and the school. I know of people further out than us that got in last year and there were less spare spaces last year due to siblings, so I'm hopeful, but not at all sure.

I am excited about getting it in writing in the post but calm as I am confident we will get a place. If we don't, then I will be seeing the Head. She told me we would....

AnnasBananas · 31/03/2009 16:59

That's brill!

Yep, I have DCs already at the school.

I didn't put a second choice anytime I applied tbh.

AnnieShamrockInYourEar · 31/03/2009 18:55

That's great news, pleased for all of you!
Come on tomorrow's post...

MadameCastafiore · 31/03/2009 18:57

We are getting ours by email tomorrw and I have this nagging feeling that I didn;t do it!

I know I did but will now panic since you reminded me until noon tomorrow when it comes through!

VanillaPumpkin · 31/03/2009 19:01

I have to wait until midnight tomorrow when I can log on and see. I am hoping to be rational and check in the morning on the 2nd, but ours is non catchment and although we have a sibling there, there are an awful lot of siblings.......
