Happy Dance in the Fait Accompli Household!

I can't believe this (already sounding like the BAFTA Award ceremony) - my son qualified for Bucks!
Bearing in mind he only started on his Bucks 11+ journey towards the end of December, I am amazed - my lazy, good for nothing child has worked his socks off for 6 weeks and it has really paid off for him. And is now sitting doing his Antarctica project (something which last year I would have had to tie him to a chair to do!)
I would like to thank everyone on here for their advice, support, PMs (you all know who you are) and ask for a few more fingers to be crossed that I can Appeal to get him into SWB which is all of 500 yards from the house we move into in a few weeks time.
He is sooooo excited and pleased with himself. We shall celebrate appropriately - (his idea, when we were wandering around Aylesbury prior to the test last week) was along the lines of "look at the new PSP Vita - that is the sort of thing a parent should buy for a child that passes his 11+ ..."
I am so relieved - I won't say that you have no idea as you have all been through it before!
No need for plan b, c, d and (the dreaded) plan e.
Thanks to the mods for providing such a fabulous website. I know that without the advice and help we received, we would not have even come close to qualifying.
