to london we shall go

"Now get this
London calling, yes, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
London Calling"

The Clash (1979)



I'm good today. I didn't take the evil pill. Got up, felt ok... Was a bit wobbly and clumsy all day but it was way better than yesterday.
The shelter lady came this afternoon. Imagine coming all the way from London just to see us?
Her name was Lisa. She's the events co-ordinator. Nice girl. Bailey liked her!
It's at the end of May in London at the top of the BT tower. An exclusive event with a carefully selected group of people (posh me thinks) she gave me some names but I feel it wouldn't be proper to say them here....
There will be food and drink and speakers and they want the girls and me to speak in a questions and answers time. To tell our story and how Shelter have helped us.
We were told the use of the BT tower was quite an honor as it isn't let out but the CEO will be a speaker.
They might even rotate the tower but it's really expensive to do. We'll be put up in a London Hotel and taxi's and travel paid for. We are the only Shelter family invited, a bit select or what! after we will mingle with the guests answering questions and such.
Only problem is Abby's GCSE's. If we can we'll stay overnight and do some London stuff the next day but if she has an exam we'll have to come home... Fingers crossed.
I have to send Lisa some pieces of writing about our story and things about the girls etc.
Hope we'll be ok. I want to do our very best for them as they've been so good to us. Lisa asked Abby something this afternoon and she burst into tears.... Lisa said if Abby does that on the night she'll get them TONS of money. Bless.
