Thanks Karen

1. not in school, we are going to Angola in a few weeks

2.does wake crying - but his crying is more shouting than distressed crying

3. I have been trying to get him to sleep in his own bed because I can't sleep when he is in the bed with me - every movement or moan wakes me up and I can't get back to sleep

I have a few friends here but really do feel isolated.

thanks Yvette - my neighbours have not complained and when I see them on the stairs they are always very polite - but I know that they can hear everything - because I can hear their music and if they have guests and we are above them so I think it is worse. I don't have a car but would not drive in the cold or in the state I get into. x

Like all the expats, working for an oil company (actually the only Gas company, Angola LNG) in Luanda - though in theory tranferring to Soyo at some point - although as Treasury manager, I assume (hope) it wont be too soon - Luanda may be boring but not as little to do as there is in Soyo.

You arent Grant Harvey's better half are you (though I am pretty sure he got transferred to Houston)

Hang in there - it does get better

Thanks Jeanette, I used to sleep with him - maybe this is the biggest problem - but I was not sleeping at all - the slightest movement or moan woke me up.
