Hi WB
How are things with you and the DC's? All well I hope
Is big DC looking forward to starting his new school? It's just 2 weeks before DS goes back. Have to say it will feel really odd making packed lunches and setting the alarm for silly o'clock again, but I'm also ready for him to have a bit more routine to his day - whatever that might be. Pop on and say hello if you feel up to it, but no pressure, it would just be nice to hear that you're all OK. Have a lovely day. xx

Hello thank you for stopping in checking on us.
Things haven't been the best. We've had a hospital stay for a few days and something else to worry about. Expensive and stressful. Espeically with the rules around covid. Once there you can't leave. If you do you cant return. So it meant I had to buy food and drinks from the limited choice available on site.
School is fast approaching. I'm so not ready for the return. I still dont even know when or how they will return and neither do the school. So that's another thing on my mind.
Sorry to pop in with such a negative post.
Hope you're all okay and well x“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”10 -
Sorry to read this, hope things improve very soon. Sending hugs 🤗 xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

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 unhappy6 -
It's not a negative post WB and it's lovely to hear from you, although I'm sorry to read things haven't been great. Everything is so much harder than it normally is with the Covid considerations to take into account. I've found not being able to go into hospital with Mum to keep her company or sit with DD while she had her wisdom tooth removed hard and although I fully understand why it doesn't make it any easier does it.
I've half stopped listening to the news so really not up to date but is your area not sure what to do about schools in general or is it personal to your situation. It's all a blooming nuisance whichever it is
Hope things are more settled for you now and you're managing to get some sleep. Take care of yourself. xx
