Re: Staying calm!
I woke up several times during the night before the Latymer NVR last week, and by morning had a stomach like a tumble dryer so resorted to a painkiller normally saved for rare, special 'time-of-month' occassions.
I think that I managed to appear calm superficially. DP became niggly the night before (a sure sign of nerves with him). DD was oblivious, ate heartily and went skipping off behind the board towards the the large hall in her NVR clothes (striped cardigan and leggings - different thickness stripes), spotted top and mottled leopard-skin socks under ridged ankle boots:)
I hope that the St Michael's tests is the same, though some school friends will be there on the day (unknown effect), and it's an all-day parent-free test fest.
The Latymer results from round 1 are sent to us arriving 1-2 days before the St Michael's tests, so there is the added worry about how this will affect her confidence either way.
Then we have a 13 (THIRTEEN) week wait.......
