Hunny, you have enough to do with 5 children to look after, so try not to do any extra. Leave the curtains till OH gets back and have a sit down with the children and read them a story. I often feel dizzy so just take things easy and wait till it passes over.
Good luck babe. Don't worry about the nhs lady, people who don't know about vlcd don't understand them. My GP was the one to recommend it to me but there are others who dis it and out it down.
Take care babe.
