decision on 1st March? Anyone want to sit and sweat it out with me?

[MsIngaFewmarbles]

Urgh I am starting to feel queasy. I just want to know now. PFB (dd1) doesn't care which school she gets into and dh is being irritatingly pragmatic.

Is anyone else twitching nervously?

Another Londoner. We've been told an email this evening. Exactly when this evening that will be is anyone's guess.

Anyone know how long you usually have to accept offers ?
No information on that available here eg. on website
But I'm thinking I'll leave it at least till Monday as they must be snowed under today.
Some information and reassurance would be good (from them I mean !)

I thnk it was 5pm in London last year.

I've been told 'between 5-6pm' for London.

Juggling our LEA said that we have to reply by 15th March.

Getting nervous here for our PFB. We are lucky in that we have a very high chance of getting our preferred choice which is an excellent school, but nervous anyway because we don't have a plan B.
I'm going to put a bottle of champagne in the fridge but look out the brandy just in case!

Ha ! Champagne and Brandy - all bases covered !

Feel sick with nerves! Also in London. I've set my Iphone up so it vibrates and beeps everytime I get an email so my nerves are completely on edge.

Last year, South London was exact 5pm.
Just a fly on the wall sharing all of your anxieties and successes .
I went through this process last year (DS1 v happy in his first choice grammar and will redo the process this year for DS2 ).

I logged in to County Council website at midnight and saw our allocation.
I then received an allocation email at 1:20am.
Then at about 11:00 am the post arrived with an allocation letter dated today!

Glitch on our website now sorted and I've accepted !

As Arbitrary said I can now get back to being scatty and useless ... pronto

Phew! 1st choice offered. Good luck all still waiting.

Have run out of fingernails, port, brandy etc. Another Londoner wondering how to take my mind off it...! FGS what kind of example am I? (not that I've let DD see ). I hate waiting when it's too early for nature's tranquillizer

We got first choice!

Ds got his first choice, He is one very happy little boy.

Can't see how to "view the outcome of your application" on the eadmissions website. The link won't work. Any tips? London here.

hardboiled I don't think you can see outcome until you've had the email....

Waiting in London too....Why are we so late?!

Thank you verytelly

Hi Verytellytubby and hardboiled - am guessing it's just cos there's so darn many of us down here with so many schools, with umpteen different entry requirements that you need a PhD never mind a kid to get inand the profs they have to hire to work it all out don't like overtime!

Was going through this last year(and I have got next year and the year after to do it as well !!)...but annyone who has not heard yet .....your primary school will know NOW !!!

I did not do it on line and had no post that day ...phoned school about this time and they told me !
Good luck

Also London.

This is surely a ten biscuit problem.

I need biscuits.

I have no biscuits.

I want to make a mad crumb-storm of a packet of choc digestives.

Dh is downstairs, maybe a flaming row would pass the time?

I am roaring with adrenalin. Aaaaaaaargh.

btw very big hurrahs for all those with their first choice, very heartening.

bizzey, what have you just done. I can feel our school sec giving you her paddington hard stare

word have to say our sec was fab and just as excited as me !!

Am loving your approach Word - have some biscuits from me . There, not only free, but no calories!

Too wussy to try it with our school sec bizzey, glad I only have to do it once! Have been RUBBISH all day!
