Morning - popping by quickly while on a mission to find Calpol - all very yukky and snotty in DippyLand atm. Sigh. I'm feeling really weird, just liking I am drowning - not coping - too much to do, so much to worry about. DH left for work at 7am today, which didn't help. Mum and gran visiting next week, which worries me. Absolutely no money - bills to pay, food to buy - frightened. I am ok enough, just got that "sinking feeling" in my tum iykwim!!?

Had text from NL - she's so excited and busily unpacking in her new place - all went / going well.

Right. Calpol ......

I learned the other day that my cousins' grandad is very ill - chest infection has turned to pneumonia. He is in hospital and I think there is a good chance he will not recover. Feel so for his wife and my family.

my head hurts
I may have had a few drinks last night
still, my boss isn't in so I am going out for lunch, and leaving early

PillockOfTheCommunity · 09/05/2008 10:59

Dooby - this is sounding fabber and fabber
(had you remembered that we're in Suffolk?)

cazboldy · 09/05/2008 11:28

Runny have a good holiday

WO that sounds really tough!

Dippy hope your lot feel better soon

Things ok here.

Going to look at a possible school for Caitlin and Harry next week.

Have got to decide if small school ( where I think they will probably be in the same class) is the best option, or a much, much larger one??????????????

Have also got to contact the high school, and ask to go and have a look round.

I have been told that transport would be available for James ( and I have a feeling it might be for the others aswell?) but not sure what to do about this. Do you think it is over protective of me to not want to send him on a bus full of strangers?????

Lastly, like I said before, thank you so much for caring about us x

Just feeling a bit overwhelmed, and quite worried

Oh Caz I don't think it is over-protective at all. He's not very old. xx

thanks dippy.......I don't think it is an actual school bus iyswim, just a bus they can go on for free, that will stop near the school.

I think I will still take him myself, but is a horrible journey, crossing a busy road, that is often grid locked at peak times. not looking forward to that!

Doobydoo · 09/05/2008 12:54

I don't think you are being over protective at all.I really hope it goes well Caz.
POTC...I remembered you were in SuffolkI blimmin well miss it at times.
Anyway as I said you more than welcome.To use us as a base for staying all nights,or one night or 2 or 3 or none!Up to you .
I will bake
You can have your own bathroom.Big bedroom.So when you know wht you are up to let me know and you can tell me re where you want your boys to sleep[if you want them in with you or not]
M is completely exhausting me at the moment.I am zombie.
