    Default SEF Registration

    I left looking at my SEF until I was ready to fill the form in - MISTAKE

    You have to go into a website and register and get a Government Gateway number and then you enter your SEF Security Token number with your DOB. If this isn't accepted you need to contact Ofsted, which if you do yours at the weekend like me will be Monday.

    I would say register and make sure you can get in, then you can go back and fill in the form when you are ready.

    YES. I had already registered with Gateway for my tax return. Tried accessing SEF using the security token and was having problems but then just logged in using my Gateway user number and password and BINGO didn't even have to use the SEF security token!

    Warm - you bet

    We go to Sharm El Sheikh every February as a group - kids love playing together and diving in the deep blue sea where I will sit back on the boat and read my book and listen to my ipod. Might snorkel in the morning when it is warm enough. 23 degrees will be a heatwave compared to the weather we have had - the snow has just melted away today
