    Re moving and worry about the schools. If you wait the 2 years till DS is finished with Junior school DD will be in the same position as DS is now. If you wait for DD to finish Junior school DS will already be settled in Senior school so will probably have to be uprooted from there. Sounds like a no win situation, so you may as well move as quickly as possible and get them settled in now.

    I'm sending you the warmest of good wishes and hope that you start to feel better soon. XX
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    Good to see you posting again WF . Safety is that because of goings on in the local area..? If in housing association property , it may take a while to move. Private rented would be the quickest route . Please give it a lot of thought before making the decision.

    Your food bill is amazing , considering you have pets as well., don't know how you do it.

    Have an easy night tonight .

    ((WF)) I am assuming the accidents weren't of your own making??

    I think the sooner you move away the better - I'm pleased the home life has changed as just you and the kids are all that matters.

    Another one concerned about the accidents and the safety issue. We all want you and the smalls to be safe and happy. If this means you have to move and the debt goes up so be it. Children are very adaptable so if they have to move schools they will cope. Please take care xx

    Totally my own fault EE.

    Total rambling posts from me earlier today :o Sorry.

    Moving is still on my mind. Still unsure.

    Smalls are away to grandparents for a sleepover before they go on holiday. So I'm sure they'll be being spoilt rotten.

    Pottering around cleaning and things. A proper home day :o

    Going to finish the cleaning and jump into bed I think. Seems my mind works over drive when going to bed though. Keeping busy is the key.

    Hope everyone's had a lovely day despite the weather

    Thank you for all the replies
