    Johanne hugs hun. Sometimes life is so not how we want it to be or how we planned it. You are a fab mum and will always have Sarah. Give it time for you both to have a good think and some soul searching and you will find the right answer for you all. Chocolate helps at times like this xx

    Mudders sorry you're feeling poorly. Curl up on the sofa with something spotty and you'll feel better real soon xx

    SS how are you today hun and you Embb hope you're feeling better today.

    Piggers good luck at the podi, how is DS1 today?

    Shattered after cleaning the living room and it's not finished yet. Just going to do a little internet shop and then finish it off before lunch.

  • Hi ladies, back from Ed Psych appt - DS has fairly severe dyslexia but otherwise is rather bright. So good and not so good news but stuff we can work with.

    Having 30 mins looking at LEA website re SEN - then I have two hours to blitz this house 'cos it needs it and is getting to me.

    See you laters,

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
