Neenz, DD1's got to have the same op very soon. Just found out on Wednesday - they're hoping to do it in the next couple of weeks. They told me she'd be in and out the same day. She had a GA a couple of years ago and she was fine, although I found it very distressing. Obviously she's a lot older than your DD (just 5). Hope you get the referral soon.
Well, the party yesterday was just fantastic . Phil the Beat was the best party entertainer I've seen - had the children totally engaged from start to finish. I'd highly recommend him for anyone in our area. DD1 had an amazing time. Only slightly disappointing thing was the turn-out - so many people didn't reply and didn't turn up, such a shame. But there were enough of them there to have a great afternoon. I won't tell you about the bit where the mothers of the birthday girls had to do YMCA, complete with hats (fortunately DH was too busy laughing at me to take any pictures ).
Shabs, welcome back . Glad you have had such a lovely holiday. Hope you get the house sorted asap.
Trips, what a few days you've had. Hope Gladys behaves tonight.
Mars, I've texted you - are we seeing you tomorrow?
Right, off to bed for me...am so looking forward to the holidays and no school run. I know the children are getting tired now we're nearly at the end of term, but I am too. Although DD1's school is shut Weds and Thurs because of a UNISON strike, so we have an extra couple of days holiday .
