    Today is done. No changes to youngest meds today. Back in 4 weeks again where things will be discussed in more depth. They agreed changing anything now and risking being unwell over the holiday just isn't worth it. So all things in place for holiday signed off and we can now get ready to go!

    2 more school days left!

    Milann you described it much better than I did!

    Wannabe please can you PM me. I'd like to transfer you some money to help you buy your tickets to your DS concert or for some spending money for your holiday.
    I hope you don't think I'm being cheeky, but I log on everyday to read your posts and hope you've had a lucky windfall somehow.

    I have been in a position where we've had to watch every penny we spent. We are quite lucky now with the jobs we have, but I know nothing lasts forever.

    But please do message me and I will arrange the transfer to you asap xxx

    Hi WB :) That's great news about DD not having to change her meds just yet. Hopefully things will tick over nicely between now and you returning from your holiday rather than you worrying about any reactions she may have.

    £9.50 isn't much for a shop, although if anybody can do it you can. Is the 'everything else' also holiday spends? Sorry, I've just not been reading it like that until Daisy mentioned it. xx

    I was quite worried about the appointment today so it is a relief. Although I know it means I've just delayed the changes and things I'd much rather be able to enjoy our time away than worrying more than usual about stuff. I'm really looking forward to the break away. The smalls are so excited too.

    DS came home with such a wonderful letter from school today I'm so proud of him. Well I'm proud of them all but it's a letter I didn't expect and it says some wonderful things.

    Thank you daisy for replying and reading along x

    Tea I will drop you a text x

    Everyone's in bed and I have a list so long to get done. I really need to chase up one of youngest meds tomorrow as yet again it hasn't been delivered with the other things. Feels like groundhog day with this particular one every time it's an issue.

    It's lovely when they're acknowledged for something at school isn't it. You've every right to be proud of them all - you reap what you sow.

    Hope you manage to get the meds sorted out especially if you need them for the holiday - you can do without that hassle :( xx
