There. I've done it and started one.
1001 messages and counting!

Ealing, great to hear your good news!

I am still waiting for the post......

We have 10+ offer from KGS for DD in big envelope- no letter to child though ( from previous post)??and breathe.

We have an offer for LU - was a thick A5 envelope so looks like good news biascutshirt

HOW do you have so much self restraint biascut? I can tell you that describes good news though...

Thank you chocfinger, I am hoping you get that post soon and your DD gets the right sporty school for her!

Great news zumba!

Thanks very much

DD got through 10+ KGS!

I'm in the office so can't open them!
I only agreed because I learnt on here that you can tell from the size of the envelop. Thank god for MN

Ooooh well done Zumba queen. My letter is sitting at home then right? . Biascut open it and reseal it. I would .....

Echoing the letter size info from MN. You have been a wonderful source of info and support. Hope all your chn get what they want.

Had a heart-stopping moment when I saw official-looking small envelope - but it was only an invitation for cervical screening...

Then found large envelope and just had to cut through address window to see the first line of the letter! Could've tried old-fashioned steaming but could'nt wait for kettle to boil.

So delighted with a place. And can't wait to see DD's little face.

So, next year back here together waiting for KGS 11+ scholarship offers? ??

Well done Afrodizziac ( and DD!) . See you there in 2016!

And to Juliemohan and DD!

I have to calm down now and stop myself going to Bentalls tomorrow to buy the uniform!!

The house is a tip so an hour or two of tidying should ground me.

Congratulations Zumbaqueen and Afrodizziac! Are you planning to secure the spot or try again next year for other schools ?

I'm happy with KGS so will take the place. DD may still decide to go for SPGS, in which case she can't relax too much. I was wondering how I'll get her to do homework again instead of endless hours on Minecraft - she might feel she'd done her bit!

I have DD2 in yr4 so hopefully things go well with her 10+ next year, but she will do better in an all-girls school.

Are you decided? At least this is 'one in the bag', whatever else happens.

Yes LU offer in nice think A5 envelope!!

A 10+ offer for us too. Phew! I can avoid the whole 11+ next year. I sense far too much relaxation to aim for scholarships. Well done all!

Congrats Dinocroc!
Afrodizziac- we are a bit confused at this point. Kingston isn't very close to where we live so we might try for G&L and LU next year and see how things pan out! Very confused though:/

JAGS offer with scholarship - really delighted for DD. Can't wait to tell her.

OMG such brilliant news on here! Poor chocfinger, hope your postie comes soon.

I've had a bit of a

After going to surbiton open day yesterday and chatting with registrar, she rang me today and has offered a place as they don't want to lose us to another school!!!!

Omg!!!!!!!

I have an actual choice!!!! Though of course this may prove my undoing.....

Dark Blue - I am so pleased for you!

You never know, you might find yourself with more offers by the end of the week! Surbiton is a great choice!

Now that must beat any letter offer dark...what a lovely dilemma you now have...well done to you and your DD!

That's such good news Darkblue ! You'll end up with a pile of choices I bet .

Wow what a lot of good news on here today! Not a bad Friday 13th then!

Oh, Dark, I'm so happy for you. Such a relief going into half term with more certainty!

That's brilliant Dark. Well done your girl!
