Emily just sounds helpful to me! Insurance is well worth bearing in mind.
Starlady, we, and our DC, are all different. Maybe to you 10 days is far too much but Cath9 says 'only ten days' so clearly she would love to have her family visit for longer.
Catch - All good wishes for DM's 100th birthday. My beloved aunt certainly enjoyed hers, just a cosy evening for a dozen close family at her GD's home. She especially liked a card made by sticking (wrapped!) toffees on card to make the shape of 100. She especially liked toffees! And a certain poem about wearing purple! A lovely memory for all of us.
