Hi Cas,
You might want to print off these descriptions for this lady to give her sister. If she actually reads exactly what a csec involves then she may realise that it is not going to be pain free.

and this one details the risks nicely.

Hope things are going well with you. That was excellent news about your CD - congratulations a great achievement. I hope the sales go well.
Sorry to hear you have been having some doubts about your choices with your last birth. I must admit if it was me I think I would have made exactly the same choices, especially given the recent events with Rebecca's birth at the time.
We are going well here. Claire is toddling all over the place everywhere and is saying a few words now. Jack and Tom are going well and Jack is showing some improvements in his development which is great. We have still decided to keep him back a year, so he will do preschool next year, prep in 2005 and grade 1 in 2006. He is doing both occupational and speech therapy now as well as going to the special education unit. We have just found out we will probably get Carers Allowance so at least this will help towards costs.
I just got back from a trip to the UK, my Nana died, and it is now all a bit untidy because my mother is contesting the will. It appears that my uncle took out a Court of Protection on my Nana and then got her to rewrite the will almost entirely in his favour. There is quite a bit of money at stake so Mum is fighting it, and needless to say I am helping her.
I am also working hard doing my Army Reserve work. It is a great supplement to the household income being tax free and is a great way for me to keep my brain active. I must admit with all of this going on I have slowed down on the birth front considerably but still put the occasional comment onto essential baby etc.
Hope to catch up with you at some stage.
Take care
Love Debby
