technically i was 39+6 yesterday and she said the policy was no to sweeps, unless she was begged. i framed my request in a more "would just like to know if anything was going on" and then while she was there she said she would do one as already favourable etc.
and i totally get what you mean about getting your hopes up, then getting used to it being a few more days. i think we have too much time on our hands!
