    You will be fine. Just remember mrs o can see you guys are under the weather so will make allowances. Also they know children don't act the same when a stranger is there.

    Use it to your advantage and say you had activities planned but you are changing your plans because they are flexible and having a quiet day of cuddles and stories, maybe one will have a nap this morning......

    Always the way!!

    You feeling nervous etc is a good thing (believe it or not)
    You are preparing yourself for something you've spent weeks, months, years working for

    I wish you tons and tons of good luck and hope it goes as smooth as can be

    Let us know how it goes xxx
