    Default PFFFFFTTT!!

    Well................pffffft she didn't come!

    So frustrating! Spent the whole weekend sorting stuff out and........nothing. Looked at my watch every 30 seconds from 9.30 up to 10.00. Checked out the window.....oooohh someone's pulling up......oh it's for next door I stayed in till 11.00 just in case. Missed play group, mindee's desperately needed to get out of the house so went to the park and soft play.

    I kind of question the point of giving you two or more days when they might come. If I was ready on Monday then I'm still going to be ready on Thursday! Quite demoralising waiting in for nothing!

    Oh well at least I know for definite when she's coming, plus I've got out of the way all of my mindee's comments like....'oooh that's a new poster'!

    Well check back here on Thursday when I will tell you all the gory details of my brush with Mrs O

    Oh, bum! Bum bum bum! I'm so frustrated for you! However, perhaps you'll be less "keyed up" on Thursday which may be a benefit! Please, please don't leave us until half six before making a post though!!! I've ben checking in every hour since midday.

    Oh dear...does that make me a stalker?! Sorry!!!! Purely professional concern, I promise!

    I wouldn't say stalker exactly.....maybe I would! My 'angels' didn't leave till 6 and then was the massive clear up; they are quite demanding, no possibility to post during the day.

    Wednesday evening shouldn't be too bad, paperwork is done, place is ready apart from a bit of tidying and cleaning. As you say, it may be of benefit knowing for definite which day it will be. Another 6 o'clock finish on Thursday though so possibly will be another 6.30 post!

    Thanks! I just realised that my SEF has section one text in section one and two. Not sure what happened there. Do inspectors actually read them?! I've printed off what section two should be and updated it online. Luckily I had it saved in word on my computer!

    My inspector read mine beforehand and used quotes from it in my report.

    Good luck for tomorrow - hope it goes well for you

    Mine read it on the day and although she didn't quote from it, it did keep her busy for a while!
