I think the leave will be very much needed now! "Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee1 -

Oh my life. It never rains...
I was pottering around yesterday morning quite happily when I get a call from school asking me to get down there quickly as little jwil had fallen and broken his arm.
I can't believe it. Same day, same time/lesson, same arm. Second time in 5 weeks. This time it's a proper break in both bones in his forearm. I have asked whether it's just bad luck or anything else of concern. I also spoke to the PE teacher to see whether there were any similarities, but there aren't."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Sometimes it’s more about the child than the activity. We used to joke that ds had his own seat in the hospital next to the school grounds. That said, it won’t make life any easier for you for a while.
