Fab fab fab news Trips I only came on here looking for an update 
seems I timed it well.
It's been a manic few months here, FIL was diagnosed with cancer and been receiving treatment (responding well), he was diagnosed by same consultant who dealt with MIL 
. Dh is back in London working, so I'm on my own most of the time, and as before it's barely worth our while (but good for his mental health).
Dts started school faints. They have settled in really well although dt1 has already uttered the "not school again, we just went yesterday" line 
. Dt1 is already obsessed with who her best friend every day is, dt2 is already worried about being on his own without her back up but has taken to following round ds1 (as ds1's female class mates think dt2 is "very cute").
DS3 (Prince) has finally settled into nursery without dts presence. It was awful for the first few weeks with screaming, clinging and tears (and that was just me) . But better now thankfully. I have three days a week child free 
. I'm not broody in the slightest, really I'm not, seriously no. Well maybe a little bit...
However, at the moment, I'm doing two OU psych modules, math and French lessons, I barely have time to blink, let alone anything else, but it'll be worth it in the end 
. It's even worse trying to keep up with the dcs schedule, I live by my diary.
Can't believe Halloween is on the doorstep, it'll be our 8th wedding anniversary.
