Having not been home for a few weeks now Nikki was finally forced into doing some washing for herself. She proudly texted us last night she had managed to wash her clothes… of course now she has to iron them. But, one step at a time.We also managed to confirm yesterday that the NHS are paying her tuition fees. Before Nikki went to Uni we believed they would be, but after a couple of confusing letters and calls last week where it appeared they may not, we have confirmed they will be. Phew.

Tricia took Ellie to Ikea yesterday where she spent some of her birthday money on a new desk for her room. Ellie definately has the shopping gene.

I am in Hull today. .

At least the traffic wasn’t too bad.
