Dsd is currently lying on the settee, still in her PJs, refusing to get in the bath to have her nits done, and now has a bell in her hand that she's ringing when she wants toast and coke brought to her...
... but it's dh's first Christmas with her for 8 years and he's soooooo happy to have her here. And so am I.
We never thought this would ever happen. Her mum even brought her to us a day early as she was local. We've come a long way from the awful Court proceedings and the constant animosity from her mother. So Happy Christmas to all you step-mums, if you're having a hard time over contact or with BMs, hang on in there, things do improve. Wishing you all a peaceful New Year.
Love Surfy xx
