    Unhappy Scared....

    .... to start my SEF!

    I've received my token number along with some other document with another registration which I presume means I am good to go. I know I should make a start and get it done sooner rather than later but have read various posts about SEF and am scared!

    Arrrggghh Suppose it's got to be better than not doing one and being put on the spot. Just need to find some time to do it now. Anyone know of a PA to type it out for me, lol??

    I knoiw how you feel I am ploughing through mine on and off but it's hard going. The only thing that keeps me focused is the reports of shorter inspections if you manage to do it!

    Typical.

    Perhaps you could order one of Sarah's e-books in the interim ?

    And is there a PA help website somewhere PA advertise for work (PA equivalent of this site), and we could get them to type out our SEFs for us

    I have Sarahs e-book already
    Just need to read it properly instead of scanning through it and more importantly, understand it and let it sink in
