Still poorly :-(

My Little Prince is still poorly - no appetite, extremely tired and fed up! He has moments of normality - after he's been dosed up with Calpol and thinks he's better!! He was all for going to the park this afternoon - that's after chucking up this morning, hardly eating anything and drooping on the sofa all day!! Calpol works wonders!!

Little Miss Sensible came home from college after her exam - she doesn't feel well either. Not sure if in her case, its still the aftermath of her party!!

I think the only constructive thing I've managed to get done all day is to talk to the local EF co-ordinator about having another exchange student. After our last experience (absolutely awful) I swore never again, but I'm coming round to the idea that we could try one more time!! We are going to be a LOT more picky about who we have this time, to try to avoid the mismatch we endured last time. I think it is good for us as a family, to learn to live with someone from a different country/culture, and I didn't want our memories of the EF programme to be soured by our last experience. The co-ordinator is going to come round in a few days when she has got some profiles together and we will decide what we are going to do. All I can do is hope (and keep fingers and toes crossed) that this time isn't like last time!!!
