    Hi everyone :)

    Jas is home finally. She's in tons of pain and is vomiting every time she takes any pain medication, I think this is going to be a really tough week for her.

    I'm bloody exhausted, I feel like sitting in a corner and crying to be honest. I'm really struggling to cope with it all right now, I wish there was more than 1 of me :( Fran is away as usual. People are doing my head in at the moment, I wish they would all just do what they are supposed to do so i don't have to spend even more time and energy organising them on top of everything else. Abs was supposed to have her first tea visit at the respite centre today. It would have been ideal because then I could have got jas home and settled before going to get her. Only, she didn't go because the school forgot to inform the transport tonight that Abs was going on a different bus, so she ended up coming home.

    The prison warden in my class at uni (the scary student) has upset me again today. Every week we have to do a group piece of work, so far I have done the bulk of the work every week. This week I couldn't go to the class so I asked them to give me something smaller to do because I'm so tied up with Jas. I've just got in to see a message from vinegar tits (the prison warden) telling me what they have given me. Yep, I've got something which will take a good 30 hours of solid research/prep. Theirs will take them an hour or two at most.

    Sorry for the moan, I just needed some friendly ears.

    Toto, go back to Vt and tell her you're not going to do it, you have a sick child. If they want help from you, to give you something minor. And point out the fact you ahve done a lot of work for the previous groupwork stuff.

    much as some of what Quirky lass said was maybe good advice. it is strange from a new poster, and i feel merits some explanation, well done you for asking....

    It's Weller, my old account has been deleted, at my request I must add. I was just trying to help, I didn't realise there was any equity after mortgage and loan had been paid off, apologies.......

    Hugs to you all xxx Sounds like you're going through it at the moment xxx
    I know what it's like being a single parent to 1 child but you're coping with 3 on your own at the mo, so I take my hat off to you xxx
