Don't panic, everything will be okay. I'm not going to submit mine. I'm going to put it into Word so I can change it when I need to and then I will print it off when Ofsted come out :)

Good idea!

I'm practically in tears. I'm going through paper and printer ink like you wouldn't believe, swamped in papers and all for ofsted visit and I can't take anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh you mustn't feel like that!

Stop and have a sort out... first of all put all your papers that are finished in files...

Then make a list of what you've got left to do.

Then take anything off the list that you simply cannot get done in the time scale...

Then go and have a drink of choice (I'll have a wine with you).

Nothing is worth feeling like that for... give yourself a night off and you'll feel so much better tomorrow xx

try not to worry about repeating yourself - my inspector told me that the layout of the SEF really was very repetative and its one of the kinks they'd like to iron out in future.
If I felt that I started to repeat myself too many times I put a phrase like 'I feel like I have already answered this on the previous section and as the previous section my priority for improvement is......' and then copy and paste what i put on the previous section~!!! ;)

Hope you're feeling better this morning :)

I know it's easier said than done but try not to get too stressed - you will be fine and it's simply not worth it!

I was so stressed before my inspection, then my hubby had a heart attack two days later - he always says he had it for me :rolleyes: - I try to be calmer now :D

Thanks everyone.

I finished it and submitted it but I can't say I feel happy with it or satisfied!! I'm so worn out I have no idea if I'm ready for inspection or not!!!!!!!

All your kind words helped.

I hope your husband is fit and well now Miffy
