Don't have a clue where we are going to stay just yet, as we were hoping to come out without the kids a few weeks earlier to sort out the rented house, buy a car etc etc, but a little problem of the CO requesting a HIV test for the eldest has changed our plans, so I think its turn up clueless living out of suitcases to start

I am a Community Matron but am going to work in renal dialysis. Haven't worked in a hospital for 16 years! It is a whole new chapter
Good luck with the house sale. Could you rent it out?
