    Sorry you're not feeling so good but having read through your diary you have done amazing and still manage to keep your chin up!

    I too have had enough of school holidays, they are faaaarrrrrrrrrr too long especially with this rubbish weather as well. We were going to go out today but worked out it was £20 just to take the kids to a farm/playground!!

    You have made amazing progress and it has certainly motivated me to get on with things as well!

  • Hi, have been reading your diary since the beginning and have been on the edge of my seat in parts! I am so impressed with how you have managed all the things that have been thrown at you and hopefully it will all settle down now and you can take a breath.

    Just spare a thought for me, where I live the summer holidays are 11 weeks long!!!!! Only 2 weeks to go and counting.

    Hope you feel better tomorrow and get a good nights sleep. Good luck with your incredible journey. x
