Thanks pal.
As it turns out, lemons into lemonade. A job opportunity is opening up which while not close by, pays well, has childcare facilities, and is right up her alley, so we're rallying to apply for it despite everything we're going through. We only have this week to sort it all out (after 15 years in the same job the ol' Resume is a bit outdated!) but we'll crack on and apply. Fingers crossed, this may be a blessing in disguise.
