first thing, i object to petunia calling herself a dumb old flower. (((((petunia)))))

Now, Iris, of course we care! I am very proud of how strong you guys have been not to call your mummy so far this week, how brave you are! I agree with Caroline that perhaps your mummy is just really really busy right now and she will text you as soon as she can. In the meantime you can talk to us here and we'll all hide under petunia's umbrella and you and Vicki can paint and color pretty pictures for the rest of us to ohh and ahhh over. and of course we'll eat popcorn. Don't worry Iris, your mummy said that she would text/call you and she will...just give her a bit more time and i'm sure she'll text. ((((iris))) and you know that you and the girls can always PM me to talk. you all take care and let us know what happens, ok?

(((((((((all the girls)))))))))
