A rare day with just the boy today - girls are away to college then the cinema so we're planning something exciting - which has turned out to be Cass insisting on a trip to Aldi after lunch. The fun never stops in this house!  A grand day out according to Cassidy.   Counting down to Christmas (and my birthday) with a mix of the usual frantic to and fro' college trips, a few meetings, picking up the new car (much to the annoyance of everyone who hates the disabled/Motability users) and a school session next week featuring me indulging in my old job of balloon modelling which is nice, hopefully we'll managed to make it that far without collapsing in a tired heap as this term has really taken it out of us both physically - we're not getting any younger - and mentally with the amount of form filling/organisations losing claims/lack of support etc.  Fingers crossed that the arse end of 2025 is a wee bit kinder on us.
