And yes, that they still haven't sorted out the DLA is utterly ludicrous

This really is nonsense. It is so obvious that this is a legitimate claim. It's what the system is designed for. It makes me so angry.

But you are doing so well. Really don't know how you do it. Take care . xx

I think it is totally ridiculous that you do not get the DLA considering the number of hospital trips you need to make with your DD2. I also think a double bed is a priority now so maybe when DD2 is under the weather she could sleep in with you? Where do you sleep at the moment? On the sofa?

Food shop done, Dr visit done and more Dexamethosone collected. Fingers crossed it starts working better than it is so far.

Older two fed, bathed and in bed. Youngest fed, bathed and on the sofa. I need to do the floors and things but I think I'm too tired to move now I've sat down

Another busy day WB. Leave the floors for tonight if you can bear to and have a rest instead. It must be all catching up with you.

I sent you a message back. xx

I think you can have the night off.

I'm really sorry to hear about your 3am hospital trip Wannabe, what an awful fright for you . I'm glad little DD has been able to come home.

Can you tell your MP about the latest incident and ask them to put pressure on the appeal people for the DLA? It's so unfair that you don't get it.

I hope little DD continues to be all right and that you can start saving up fo your bed again soon. A double bed will help you to keep an eye on little DD at night when she's unwell. It would be more comfortable for both of you.

Sorry to hear the smallest small has been so poorly. I hope she picks up very soon. Still unbelievable about the DLA, it's just dire.

You are doing amazingly well given everything life throws at you. Stay strong xx

Well the floors etc still need doing because I sat on the sofa with youngest and fell asleep! Good job I have alarms set for her meds and things!

Having a cuppa now though, then will do the floors and things.

Parents evening tomorrow but have asked if they can do it over the phone. It's only a 5 minute time slot and just a 'mid' review into how they are settling.

Good idea to do parents evening on the phone x
