Inseparable


Even since Justin left I am paranoid about leaving my iPhone anywhere or (worse) forgetting it at home. I am emergency contact number one for both Elsa’s school and Conrad’s nursery and Justin was obviously emergency contact number two but now that he is away I am the only emergency contact. And if school or nursery can’t get hold of me, then any ill child who needs picking up and looking after will not be picked up or dealt with. The toilets at work are quite far from where we sit and I am now even uneasy about leaving my phone on my desk while popping to the loo. Or going off to make tea for the team.

This is the first week since New Year that one or both child has not been sick and off school. And we’re only half-way through the week. Oh how I hate and dread seeing the name of Conrad’s nursery or Elsa’s school pop up my iPhone’s display.

Too long already

I think Justin's already been gone too long. Conrad pointed to a picture of David Cameron in the paper and said "Dadda". When I said no, no NOT daddy, he pointed to a picture of John Bercow and said "dat is dadda?". And later Elsa said she thought Michael Gove looks like Justin. Crikey.
