how did you go at FDC Bek?
I use FDC for DS and love it. We get abck up when carer is sick, he is a part of her family (and now also of the family of the lady who does back up), the flexibility is great etc etc.
I also went to FDC as a kid and am still close to my FDC mum and her 8 kids... another bonus it is a relationship for life if it works out well..
