    I remember your first post, and have been reading ever since! Well done to your OH, and I look forward to hearing the outcome!

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    ^^It'll be a long wait!:rotfl:

    I reckon another 3 weeks minimun - it's AWFUL

    Yesterday we got a package from our solicitor - contains 70-off pages of submissions for both sides, I can't bring myself to read any of it!!:o It might bring us down, especially when she told us that she had submitted 18 pages of submissions...the respondent had submitted...44!!!:eek: Then there si the responses to each others, *phew* glad it wasn't me putting that lot together!:o
    Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. :cheesy:

    Fingers really, firmly crossed for you. I have been watching this unfold with great interest. My husband has a discplinary hearing tomorrow that I strongly suspect is going to end up going all the way...the stress even at this early stage is tremendous so well done to both of you for hanging in there.

    I wouldn't worry about this - they have more to defend than you do! ;)

    You know, I hadn't thought about it from that point of view, :) I just thought reading it all again would bring us down while we are trying to remain hopeful. Thank you, I 'might' just open it and have a look.

    I fully agree with both these comments.

    18 pages of well-presented concise evidence is far better than 44 pages of "yeah but, not but, yeah but" rhetoric.

    Less is more, methinks ;)

    Good luck and hopefully it will be good news. Just a word of warning, the ET we were involved with took 3 months to get a decision, so 3 weeks may be optimistic!

    I think your case is very strong, and I cant believe the other side are still resisting the inevitable.

    good luck.

    ^^yeah, I'm aware that three weeks is the bare minimum (taking into account the week that already passed though)

    What did help though was that we finished a day early and the judges used that full day to begin their deliberations, so that has hopefully cut down a little on the result time. I was reading charts on the walls of the waiting room that said 85% of cases got results in 4 weeks, so kinda hoping we are one of them!:rotfl:

    I think I would be climbing the walls if we had to wait 3 months - but thanks for the heads up!!
