How many people are going to just sit and stare at their email on Monday evening too scared to open it? I know I am. I am dreading it!

With the traditional 'Bexley envelope', if you jiggle it around you can get the outcome without opening the letter.
We haven't got this with an email, I suppose we just have to dive straight in.

At least we have the option of telling our children 'its not there yet...i'll keep an eye on it' until we have digested the info first ourself...

I am away working, husband away working. Will get email on phone - if phone works. And it doesnt quite a lot. Then will have to ring child. Not good. Well if bad news will ring child and say phone not working so no news. Not ideal. Will find email hard to open. Think will be on a train. Will pack tissues - going to pack tissues now. So if see sad woman crying her eyes out on a train it probably me. As my daughter tells me - I am a positive person!

Lovely idea Rachel's mum - I can join in from hotel. Tissues and alcohol - a heady mixture.
