nice to know i'm not the only one in that position, especially with 2 pre/teenage girls - i've had a few negative comments about taking girls and how its easier for boys! (taken with a pinch of salt though!!) However having been out with them on holiday, apart from the staring which my younger daughter didn't notice, they had a great time.

My major concern as will be most families I presume is schools which I'm digging into at the moment. Any recommendations for this age group and advice re waiting lists most welcome. Don't know yet where my husbands office is which I understand helps greatly in locating yourself.
