Yesterdays post was short and sweet as I didn't have a lot of time and I have other things on my mind.

We are currently trying to close down our existing business and are ready to move on and begin another one, but, and its a big but - I have always wanted to move nearer to the coast and Mark feels that we should do it now.

Faye has just finished a HNC and is going on to further education. I feel that she should go to a university and stay on campus or move with us and stay at home, but she has set her mind to a very expensive private school of teaching. I have great concerns that she will run up a huge debt and possibly not finish the course (you have to rely on scholarships after the first year and only if the school deems you good enough to receive one). Also she has to find somewhere to stay and although I will have family in the Coventry area, no one feels that they want to put her up for 3 years.

In my opinion if she goes on campus at Uni for the first year, it would put her in good stead to manage her finances better and be able to rent with students for the last two years, and I would feel much better about her doing that and at a fraction of the cost including the maintenance fee that at the private college.

Its not all about the finance, I just think that she has a wider scope at University rather than specialising in one area only.

I have taken weeks to work out in my head that that is the only thing stopping me from coming to a decision now. We will be going there with no work, but Mark will advertise as soon as we get there and hopefully start jobs more or less straight away. He is going into painting and decorating, one because he has done it on lots of occasions to help out his best friend who does that for a living and two because he is very good at it.

This may all sound like irrelevant rubbish, but when you have a very sick child life has to be relatively problem free so that you can devote all of your time, energy and worries to them without other stuff getting in the way.

With all that in mind, I still think it would be a great thing for Grace if we moved, so I must have come to the right decision????

I forgive the person that left a comment yesterday saying that my blog was irrelevant and not at all interesting, but hey you didn't have to read it, and its meant as a release for me, no one in particular, but if they like reading then what does it matter. I only hope you are never faced with the difficulties that a family looking after a sick child has to deal with every day. Hows that for love week Suzie?

I just want to give you the biggest (((HUG))) right now Gilly, you are brilliant, do you know that.

I never saw the comment from the negative person but I can imagine it was meant to hurt, how very sad is that. I'll pray that they are released from their need to hurt others (whilst stabbing the doll thing I've made).

Much love hunni and I think the Gold star for the LOVE week is yours.

I think there's a trouble maker going round the CF blogs, because Lorraine had a nasty comment on hers too. Ignore whatever little brat decided to post crap, (can you tell I'm cross?!?) I like to think I'm a fairly good judge of blogs and I check in on yours every day to see if there's an update.

lots of love xxx

Thank you all for your kind comments, I never really think much about a blog entry other than like a diary, and just write about what I feel on the day, if it helps someone else other than me then thats nice.

Big hugs to all of you

Morning hunni,

That's exactly what our blogs are, OUR diary and I for one have found it more theraputic than paying 50 quid an hour to some bod who hasn't a clue what life is like for a mum of a child with cf.

'Carry on blogging'

We could make a film next :D

Loadsa love.

Well, I like reading your blog. Some people have nothing better to do with their time. ( I meant as in people leaving nasty comments, just thought I should clarify that)

:0)

I hope you all have a great weekend, and I agree with the above comment - Grace looks very cute. I wish I had her style! Hehe.
