Have been very anxious about today but it has gone very well. Got funding for thing 2 to have 10 hours of support when he starts school in September and both the things stayed at nursery for an hour, on their own (big deal for both of them but particularly for thing 2) and they have agreed to go tomorrow for the full three hours and to stay without me. Also got our term time holiday OK'd for two of the others (just waiting for a decision on boy #1). Makes a change for things to be going our way.
