    I've just got time for another cuppa before I have to pick Little 'un up from school. She has only got 7 more days before she leaves to go to big school. I am completely traumatised by the fact that she is leaving, but she is taking it all in her stride.

    My first hit High school last year, and she took it in her stride too, main problem was finding a uniform to fit, most year twos we know are bigger than my daughter. Dreading Christmas this year, as she is two old for toys and way to small for fashion.

    I had that last year with DS1, CS. And he only knew one other kid that was going to that school. man did I fret. Water off a D's B to him. He was fine and I'm sure DD will be too.

    Oh yes, she will be just fine. It's me I'm worried about! I have to go to the leavers concert next week and I just know I'll show myself up by crying.:cry:

    And what will I do when she is at big school?
    The big kids don't kiss their mum's when they drop them off. :eek:

    Sorry - I've been on the phone. Has Annie turned up with the virtual fruitcake yet?
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    They still do it - you just have to be a bit clever about it and NOT EVER EVER in front of their mates ;)
