After eight years of yearning for a best friend, it appears DD now has one! She has always had lots of friends and a few close friends - one she has gone on holiday with - but she has always wanted a best friend she sees at school and out of school. It now seems she has one - a lovely girl who is fun, cheerful but does not like swearing (good as DD has started swearing a lot and I keep hearing her best friend saying 'no swearing' 
DD is happy, best friend has happy (according to mum) and best friend's mum who is apparently a social worker, or works in care gets DD. When DD had a sleep over there on monday night she told BF's mum she had ODD and BF's mum said 'oh well I must remember not to say 'no' to you but find another way of doing it' 
I am having a happy mum bit under all the chaos that is flying round!!

Awh, so pleased for DD, that's great news especially after the move.
Bonus that BF doesn't like swearing, let's hope good influence rubs off and fab that BF's mum is a good un. New friend/ally for you perhaps?

That's great and worth putting a lot of work in to to make it successful.

Sounds really positive, and so good that she has a Mum who understands. Definitely sounds like a friendship to encourage.

thanks all
I had a long chat with BF's mum and she is really nice. We have similar values and expectations for our children and BF stayed here overnight - the first time she has had a sleep over because she has bladder issues but she felt secure enough to stay. She and DD shared the futon - DD was not bothered but the fact that something might happen - and BF was very touched. All went well and two happy young ladies went heading off to rehearsals munching pain au chocolat and giggling.
Happy Mum!
