It's been my little one's birthday this week. As she's been out of school for 6 months now she hasn't got any friends to invite for a party so it's just family instead. I've been up until silly times making a cake - because I can't afford to pay for someone to make a soy, dairy and egg free cake that's child friendly and that's not something you can buy in a shop. The quote I got was £150 which is silly money. She's had us up in the night so much this week, more than usual and it's been a bit gruelling and the fact that her DLA has only been awarded at middle rate and they've not taken her night time needs into consideration feels like a kick in the teeth. I just want to be able to get a week or two of good nights sleep.
