    I had to close the door of the room she was in and chase her, in the end she gave up and let me pick her up. I think I was more traumatised than she was. Finding it tough to get her settled into the new house now though.

    Pre pump training

    Yes I definitely agree. I've only met her once though since moving trusts so I'm still a little weary. It's just the letter for my first app with her, which had nothing to do with the pump, is exactly the same as the one I recieved following a phone call to inform me it was for pre pump...
