  • Thank you for all the replies. I only hadn't posted before as worried about the comments on the smalls sharing etc. Anyway they had a good night's sleep. Better than me and youngest anyway!

    Just having a paper cup coffee and some fresh air while other stuff is going on.

    Plans could be changing later waiting for news from her consultant from further away. Who knows.

    Not a very mse post I don't really have anything mse to update. I should stop with the paper cup coffees :o I won't be having more now though :(:o

    Hope everyone is well. Thank you again for all your replies x

    I’m sure the paper coffee is medicinal & needed!

    Glad the eldest two slept OK & hope the potential changes are of benefit to you all.
