Financials set to be sorted.

Thank you for all your birthday wishes.

It hasn't gone well so far! Out of my three children only D12 remembered to wish me happy birthday (and that was as she was half way out the door to school). To be fair D17 is ill in bed again. I think she over did it with working full time in the Easter holidays and every time she is run down she gets an incredibly sore throat. If this goes as normal she will sleep it off today and be much better tomorrow. S15 got a TM this morning to say his GFs grandmother has died. She had a stroke a few weeks ago. I understand he is upset but he is refusing to go to school. I can't make him understand that society says that unless the person is a blood relative you have to pick yourself up and get on with it. He only has 5/6 weeks left at school until his exams start. He just isn't interested. I'm so worried about his future.

I think these MLCers really get something out of seeing how much we want them back. Since they don't feel good about themselves, they need that to fill them up. Like vampires, lol!

I hadn't thought of it like that before but yes I think you are right.

Oh, and D17's card sounds so original. You are very creative - give yourself some credit for that! It's not just your mum who is

Yes I have given myself credit. I think I'm looking to my mum on this occassion b/c for years we didn't get on at all. Now we are closer and this is a hobby we share so it's something to keep that renewed bond going.
