Whether you agree with the Ministry's decision or not, the one thing that everyone seems to forget is just how it affects the children in school. Vic was in tears at not being allowed to go back to school, and Mini still doesn't quite understand why though she's at least settled a little. Molly has been brilliant at helping us out until we can make other arrangements, but it isn't easy to rip them out and pull them away from their friends, I can only imagine what it would be like for the older children. At least Victoire was only in Year 1 and Mini in nursery.

Oh, and I have to disagree with the Weekly, battle scars are very sexy.
