    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    Thanks all :)

    Another day, another appointment done. Likely we will be going in to stay for some tests. I've requested for it to to be after this week once the smalls are back at school. It will mean I only need to pay for breakfast club and after school club rather than trying to find someone to have them both for full days! Neither is ideal though. Although some answers will be good.

    I slept in my bed though :A and I slept a good 4/5 hours!!

    Thank you again

    I'm really glad you slept in your bed and hopefully that's more sleep than you normally get :) (although it wouldn't be enough for me, I need at least seven hours sleep to function well and stay cheerful).

    I hope you get the appointment time that's best suited to you for DD's hospital tests.

    Leaving it until school opens seems a fair request to me WB. The elder 2 will be better off in their routine and it'll mean you can concentrate fully on what's happening with DD2. Fingers crossed you do get some answers.

    Nice to hear you slept for a few hours. If we go away I really struggle to sleep the first night in a strange bed so wondered if it would be the same for you. You may even get a couple more hours some nights. :)

    Enjoy the rest of your day. xx
