FAQ - I can't go out or anything as then i will miss phone call. Is driving me mad too

I feel your pain!!

FAQtothefuture · 22/01/2009 11:33

actually he turned up not long after I wrote that message....

though i'm now confused as to how long the checks take......he had said 2/3 days, but when he took the form he said he'd fax it off and he "should have a reply in about an hour" Confused

Had a nightmare at clinic, just getting DS2 redressed, when DS1 walks smack into the table. hand over face, i'm thinking broken nose/a&e/etc. he made such a sad face trying to be really brave and not cry that it made me cry. He was fine pretty quickly (just a tiny cut on his lip) but as i was cuddling him DS2 fell over and bumped his head and cried too. At that point all 3 of use were crying.
