Getting Better

Well Little Prince is on the mend, his appetite is returning slowly and he didn't need a nap today :-) His temperature is still slightly raised and he is croaky and snuffly, so I'm keeping him off school for the rest of the week. I think he will probably be himself again by weekend :-) I really hope so anyway - firstly because I hate seeing him ill and secondly I'm getting cabin fever being stuck in the house all day!!!

Got profiles in the post from EF co-ordinator, one student sounds like she would fit in and is outgoing, so hopefully would make friends at college easily, and she even has a little sister similar age to Drama Teen. The other student's profile stresses how important it is to her to attend church each week, so while she sounds a lovely girl, we think she would be happier in a more religious family. Mr Messy spoke to the co-ordinator earlier this evening and she is going to contact HQ to see who else is available (doesn't that sound awful!?!?!) and we'll make our decision from their. It sounds terrible to be so picky and choosy, but after our last (dreadful!) experience we are trying to be careful that we get a student that will be compatible with us and able to cope with an English college. Wish us luck - we probably will need it!!!

We've also realised that our planned Florida holiday doesn't fit in with Little Miss Sensible's university breaks, so we are hoping the villa owner can change the dates to the Easter holiday. This could very well be the last Big Holiday we go on as a complete family - Little Miss Sensible may want to be doing her own thing with The Boyfriend once she is an independent student. So we want her to be able to spend this last (???) holiday with us.
