Thanks honey. It was a big shock so taken some time to sink in!!
Really looking forward to the training though, need something positive to look to! I'm hoping we will get the sw we've dealt with so far to do our home study etc! Fingers crossed! X

Trapped. "Its a TRAP!" How can i deny him (and myself) this opportunity and how can HE ask me to give up my dream? I refuse to be someones "special aunt" I would rather kill myself and suffer hells damnation for eternity!

The start of your training is a definite positive Dream, and you will already be so well equipped going into it you will be sail through! I hope your stories of prep and your future LO will give your nan some happy thoughts and good things to focus on 
Hope you get same SW too. We were lucky and stuck with ours, it seems to make sense if they can work it that way as she already knows you a bit. Another couple from our group had a new one for HS and so needed a second initial interview before starting. I think it was because they were out in the sticks though so SWs had to think about what was geographically most sensible.
Lola, to be blunt it sounds as if it would be best if he doesn't get the job. Then it is great he got as far as an interview and you could big him up for that achievement, but you don't have to face what would come if you had to relocate. Good luck

I must admit that I was on the argos site looking at pushchairs in the sale!! But none were facing towards the person pushing (gotta be done for the bonding 
) other than teeny baby prams, so will keep looking! Although not ready to buy just yet.... but looking is getting fun! Do you go and lay out all the bits and just look? I can imagine doing that I can imagine going into bubbas room before they come home and just being in a daze Yeeee, it's exciting stuff

Well I shouldn't complain but I am sum what disappointed. Of the six she sent out our info on to the LO SW she has received 2 with interest 3 no and 1 no response.
What this means is that for the 2 we are now in a group of 10 different couples at most who are being reviewed. This just seems so slow. Also she is prepping to make a new submission next week for this month. It's done once a month.
Is it strange I didn't feel anything about the 2?
