lucky you Sushee - i on the other hand didn't have such great success with DS and fortunately for me my job became redundant the day he was due to start in another centre - he was orignally in FDC and he and the carer clashed.

I'd say you have made the right choice and by your DS reaction I think he agrees.

Wish me luck in the new year - i have a job to start on the 11th Feb so in between now and then i need to make some decisions - i know how difficult it is to "let go" when they are so young and when you actually enjoy your child but i think in your circumstance things have turned out famously - enjoy the 'you time"
