Congrats.. so this is where all the HBS people have been hanging out, was beginning to think there weren't any this year as the 'Hertfordshire (inc. LB Barnet) forum' has been quiet.

Went to meet the family after work near Oxford Circus, for the 'Sound of Music' treat I had booked for my daughters hard work for the 11+; dug the phone out to find out where they were; had two missed calls, one from the wife and the other from HBS offering my daughter a place.

Found all three of them in Gap (what is it with woman and shopping?); I played the voice message back to my daughter, and the look on her face was priceless, as was my wife's beaming smile, even my youngest broke out into a big grin.

I'm not a huge fan of the selective process, but considering my daughters hard work and my wife's pressure, I really felt for her when she didn't get the result; we had even written off getting on the waiting list as she had gone way off topic in her composition, not sure I would want to go through this again with the youngest.

Zorro, re: posting the message in this list, I felt the original question was more relevant for this forum, hence the posting here; if it upsets you that this post is in the wrong forum, then feel free to get it moved to the more relevant one.

Thanks to the others for the advice and support.
