MD: WHAT?!! only 2 1/2 weeks!! ARGHHHH! we will be in 'the heart of the nation' around the 10th of Dec, but i guess youse will be busy bees packing

talking of Oprah did anyone see it yesterday?! OMG I was a bawling mess (i think i need some of arte's stoicism!). i can see just how that kind of stuff happens (it was about a mum who accidently left her 2 year old in a hot car) and makes you really wake up to the impact that tiredness and stress can play in our lives. gave me the heeby-jeebies.
Well, I still need to eat and drink coffee, now don't I?? PM me (and PP too) and we'll see if we can hook up for a brief but pleasant cafe interlude!!

Re Oprah - I didn't see that one but I've seen one similar. It's like the story of the dad who was (unusually) supposed to drop the child off at CC and forgot because bub was asleep - that ended horribly too. This is the sort of stuff that I get paranoid over when I'm having an anxious spell (usually caused by sleep deprivation). So I try to avoid these stories when I can and just concentrate on keeping my wits about me.

Ange, I am not packed at all. They send the packer men (no, not the Packer men, I'd be wearing Tiffany if that was the case LOL) in to pack up over a day or so. But I've still got to get all the paperwork & other arrangements, not to mention Christmas organised. Plus packing for a road trip. We'd usually wait until after Chrissy and then move, but we want to get home in time to spend it with family.
