Jimjams - just wanted to thank you for suggesting the "Teach me language" book. It is brilliant, just what dd needs. I received it a couple of days ago and am really pleased I ordered it as I am usually a bit wary of giving my bank details on the internet.
I will start trying to do bits at the weekend as she is definitely more than ready and able to do a lot of the work.
Hope you are okay, just read on the MIL rant!
