The Final Countdown

The time is here now, the final few days....

A little advice to the first timers who will get the email from Birimgham. It takes agggggessss to scroll down the email and actually get to THE OFFER! From what I remember two years ago, I felt more and more nauseous as I was trying to actually read what it said!

The LEA website updated after the email I think, so that was the first news I had. Eek.


Good Luck Everyone!

It certainly is an amazingly long scroll down to that line...but strangely, the emails shrink after a while. I still have our offer emails and they're not nearly as long as they used to be, you can scroll down them in moments :D

You're right Mike. I need to check that email again to reminisce!

Many thanks Elbert.

Thank you Reeyah for the info. It's first time for us. Tell you the truth, am not really looking forward to it as DS scored low so he may not have a chance. He did do well but not well enough. Anyway, best of luck to all and I hope you get what you hoped for, Inshaallah.

Salams Reeyah... Thanks for the info. Don't suppose you know when these emails are sent? Should we look out for them tonight or on Monday?

We have been through all this before about 3 years ago with our older DD. The wait was worth it on that particular occasion as she got into CHG. Not so sure this time though!! I can relate well to Zainab's post as we are in a similar position with our younger DD. We live in hope nevertheless :|

Thanks

Shahid
