You can accept and you are still on the waiting lists for others higher up. It has amazed me ech time how much movement there is...

Results out about 40 mins ago. We did get our choice but were siblings so likely... To those not getting their first choice you are automatically put on the waiting list for your higher choice schools and there won't be a lot more they can tell you until people have accepted or rejected their places which there are normally about two weeks from offer and then waiting lists get more meaningful. Good luck to all. Our first child we didn't get our first choice and my daughter attended a school she was sort of happy at but not thriving. Two school years later( last year) we were offered our first choice and chose to move but only just in time for her younger sister to go there ( and with a lot of wrangling with southwark admissions) and they started last Sept. now very happy but having missed out quite a bit of detail this is the only time we've done the process and it's gone our way. The first two were stressful and difficult but we're now happy. Chances are it will be for you too. Please take heart if you don't get your choice, you'll likely get there eventually

Personnally am loving this posting (well baring transgressions to bickering, but hey, what do we expect its christmas). Am now realising my hubbie has (many) faults but is generally a very good hubbie indeed. Slight disagreement about husbands doing 'fun' things with children. Personally I love that time. Sad as it sounds, knowing that I need to do the cleaning I'd much prefer he takes them somewhere for fun and just let me get on with it... I'd prefer that to me doing the 'fun' because I get them all the time and love the 'time out' that I get when doing housework without chasing children out of rooms, or trying to get them to re tidy the rooms I've just tidied. Love my kiddies but lvoe the time without them (bad mummy!!!) Do continue to try and educate your men though, otherwise you risk getting a father in law like mine... he thinks he 'does his bit' ie cook meals but takes three times longer than a women/other man, uses way more things than stricktly necessary and actually does very little cooking as he's great at delegating without the people realising what he's doing... clearly I'm work shy so avoid the kitchen with him at all costs or give lots of 'direction' hehe, love men

I feel for you with this as it being your first child you are understandably worrying.... you may have to accept that if you go your supply may dry up (as a firends did when we went for a 3 night hen do) and that you may also get uncomfortably large breasts. On the guilt side, I've beaten myself up for loads of things with my three, more with the first as I did things for the first time. In retrospect I've managed to give her more anxiety than my other two who I left earlier and more regularly (admittedly not for 4 days but 1-3 nights pre 1 year of age. Some work, some pleasure related) Every child and parent is different so the comments from everyone are individual and may/not represent your situation. Whatever you decision, make sure you are comfortable with it and hopefully enjoy!
