I saw your post and thought baby had arrived!0

Just to let you all know, our little girl arrived about 5.5 hours after last post! A safe and swift delivery. She's 3 weeks now and adorable. We're all shattered as she's had tongue tie and reflux, so she's quite unsettled. OH has had his paternity and back to work tomorrow, I will miss him terribly and a bit nervous about coping with the kids on my own.
DD is on a school transition camp which is free (incl. packed lunch) for 2 weeks, so hoping she'll have a great time.
DS will be at nursery one day a week - more if I struggle.

Many congratulations MW, I a so pleased that all went well. Builders .......................but pointing is a horrible and time consuming job I think that ,sadly, £2kish is probably not too bad. I hope that you get a better quote.0
