I'm glad you're finding things easier/less stressful now. Congrats to Dazza btw for the place on the board. And fingers crossed for that Uni job, as it sounds like he'll be around more.

On the book, maybe don't start it as such a big project. Maybe just start with random bits. Describe events or periods that stick out in your mind. Not necessarily with the absolute intention of them being a book, but just as an exercise in themselves.

I was thinking of starting off by writing it as memoirs and building it up from there. That'll leave plenty of room to move things around. Ultimately I'd like to present it as a book for people thinking of starting a 'second' family and the pitfalls and also the joys of such a decision.

There's nothing wrong with Brianna that couldn't be fixed by a trip to Oz.

I've been wondering where you'd gone to Case. I haven't even seen you on FB. I hope you're ok mate.
