well after weeks of stress and worry its final over.

had a call from the british embassy this morning as we have been waiting for the judge to return from holiday. the judge has returned today and looked at my letter and completely understands that i am unable to travel to germany for the case on wednesday. she also told the embassy that it was not a formal summons anyway, he explained that that is not how it came across in the letter (1000 euro fine for not attending, if that was not paid then i could be confined for up to 6 weeks for disobedience - doesnt sound like i had an option )

so he said i have nothing to worry about. yay

talk about cutting it fine, the judge returned today, the case is on wednesday morning so i would have had to fly out tomorrow to make sure i was there in time. so if i had had to go then there wouldnt have been enough time to arrange the 'specialist medical care' that she would need in my absence.

but the best bit is that I DONT HAVE TO LEAVE HER

Yeah! That's great news, glad it all worked out ok in the end x

hopefully my rash will disappear soon, i always get a rash when stressed or worried (even if i dont feel it, it comes out in a rash). even had it for 3 weeks before my 20 week scan, the following day it was gone.

That's brilliant - great news xx

thank goodness for that. Now you can destress about it. Does sound like they need to reword their letters as there is no way that sounded like an optional attendance

How fantastic it's all over. It was awful the stress you were under.

So pleased all the stress is over for you at last,even if it was cutting it very fine! Let's hope the rash is gone tomorrow too! x
