Thank you all so much , been finding myself singing and dancing more , just naturally now 
I need to do ONE more visit with my GS at the contact centre to have 'closure' day and say goodbye to the manager who supervises our contacts as a 'client' even though I will still see him again it will only be for a few minutes at a time on drop off and collection
I also want to have a chat with my DD about how hard she may find it now as I won't be 'available' to her much or be able to do stuff together like we did before so there is a different situation between us now and I want to ask her how she feels about it and prepare her for it
I do also want to genuinely THANK the foster carer for all her hard work with my GS ( which I will soon find out how hard it is! ) and not leave it with any bad feelings if POSSIBLE but I do want to say thank you and I mean it even if she does not want to hear it
Am sure my DD will thank her as well and she has no hard feelings too
I need to let go of the past and move on into the new , have been doing the little things I need to get out of the way before my GS gets here and still have plenty to do as always lol like some weeding , putting up some black out fabric at his window as it is very bright in the mornings which means he is an early waker even though it may not make a 'blind' bit of difference! lol
Plus I want to cook his favourite dinner = Cauliflower cheese and freeze it for him ready to have for his dinner on the day I get him as it will be a busy one!! Am going to make a fish pie which he loves and freeze it as well as I intend to batch cook sometimes all his favourites so on the busy days he has a home cooked meal which I have already cooked
I want to be as organised as possible but also feel some of it will of course be 'play it by ear' and do what 'feels right' for him as I do not want him 'overwhelmed' by too much activity etc , he needs to settle in gently as he has been through a lot emotionally and I want him to have a 'soft place to land' as they say and feel secure and settled here and take all the time he needs to do so
I have all the local kids already looking forward to befriending him which is so sweet and nice but he will still need some 'quiet time' and 'just Nanny , him and the dog time' and we have a lovely holiday in a countryside cottage coming up as well as him seeing the rest of the family once he has settled in
It is so lovely he has been invited to a childrens party already and they have not even met him yet , they said he can go trick or treating with them which he has NEVER ever done even though he is nearly 8 years old , nor had friends in the neighbourhood ever so will be lovely for him to have some new friends outside school who will include him in their activities even though I will ALWAYS be with him plus therefore get to know all the kids as well which I am already doing , but I will pace it for him so he has a balanced stay here and is HAPPY 
I think it is a LOVELY neighbourhood for him to be staying in though and for me as well of course! x
