So a covering letter is the done thing then? BAH, so annoyed now....no one I spoke to today mentioned it and I went through the application and everything I had to include in detail. They could have given me a heads up

I think I'm just going to leave it. Trying to get these applications done and in on time has just about wiped me out and I've got DS' 1st bday/DHs 30th bday this weekend and sooooo much still to organise.

I guess the timing wasn't quite right this time around but at least I've applied. All practice for next time....
