Thank you TF nearly 11, nearly 9 and 5. Time does go so quickly. DS is in his last year at primary school which makes me kind of sad.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

It's good that you've got a lot of things already in place and I'm sure the fact you're so on top of everything makes the decision to discharge little one easier for them as well - obviously as long as she's well enough to go home.
I'm sure DD will be fine at her event and knowing you're there cheering her on will be a massive boost for her. Hope you all enjoy yourselves. xx0 -
