    Great outcome for you. Well done for seeing it through. I can't imagine how stressful it's been. Hopefully the kiddies can start to feel a bit more settled again now.

  • Fantastic news! Good things come to those who wait and you demonstrated so much patience and dignity during what was obviously torture for you. I remember your posts well. Well done love x
  • Thank you for all your replies. My babies get returned tonight and then the new contact order begins. I must admit I am a little apprehensive as to how he is going to be with me and I am expecting him to bring family members to kick off with me.
    I am also hoping he DOES return the children :/ as he took my eldest out of school early yesterday and has kept both off school and nursery today.
    I am giving him the benefit of the doubt and hoping hes just making the most of his last full week day with the children and taking them out somewhere nice.

    I have made so many phone calls to try and get everything sorted its unreal. And I am now applying for schools near me for next year etc.
