I will need a ot of hand-holding this weekend, DD is competing at Blackpool & I am not there

[KatyMac]

She & her dad went off at 8am (only came back once for something they forgot)

I am home because I am convalescing

I am worried and panicking

They will be fine

Please look after me?

[seeker]

Why are you worried? is there a backstory I don't know?

What's she competing at, by the way?

[KatyMac]

I'm an over protective mum
She is my only PFB

I am hundreds of miles away

I am a control freak

[KatyMac]

Sorry Ballroom & latin

Well, if she's anything like my dd she will do much better with her dad - mine always gets far more nervous if I'm with her! Just think of the lovely time they'll have together, and the lovely peaceful time you'll have - and how brilliant it'll be when she comes home and tells you all about it!

But......he doesn't have to do her hair, does he?????????

[KatyMac]

Yep & make up



But it's not too bad - he does her hair anyway

[seeker]

Wow - I'm impressed! My dp is brilliant - he can do anything - except hair. The thought of French plaits sends him into a flat spin!

[KatyMac]

Oh DH can't do french plaits

I am trying to get him to learn braiding - DD is mixed race

The oils/lotions we use on her hair give me a rash - as she has been poorly this last week or so I am covered in a rash all over my chin where she has leant against me to have a cuddle

I just had my first meal alone & I have no-one to clear up or finish up my leftovers

[KatyMac]

Surviving....actually almost enjoying myself

Should I have an afternoon nap? Or would that be self-indulgent as I didn't get up until 11?

[KatyMac]

DD is in the final for Cha-cha dancing with her dad
