Just got in from work and there was an official looking letter addressed to my husband. I phoned him to see if I could open it, (thought it might be something else), but when I opened it I was quite suprised to see it was his CRB checks.
With all your experiences how quick did yours come back after you recieved your partners. Do you think it will be soon now, really keen to get advertising asap.

thanks for reading xx

Sorry but it can be any time... some are weeks apart, some a few days.

Are you tracking them online?

Cool thanks for yet another useful link! Just called them to check the status of mine, it's In Progress. They aim to get 90% of CRB's completed in 4 weeks, some may take longer, other a few weeks only.

Am I being hopeful that I'll be up and running by February?
