Tell her you've become an environmentalist and couldn't possibly allow them to be driven to school over that distance. Then use the same excuse so you don't have to go n see her.

No I will be keeping my youngest two there even if i move to Lower darwen, as the distance either way is about the same with the moto way being accesable

Since several of us regard this woman's behaviour as strange and abnormal, I have delved into webpages to see if there is a 'mental illness' name for it.
It seems to be described as attachment behaviour-

Affectional bonds are formed as a result of interactions with the attachment figure, that is to say, between child and parent. Emotional life is seen as dependent on the formation, maintenance, disruption or renewal of attachment relationships. Consequently, the psychology and psychopathology of emotion is deemed to be largely the psychology and psychopathology of affectional bonds.

Psychopathology is regarded as due to a person having suffered or still be suffering the consequences of disturbed patterns of attachment, leading the person to have followed a deviant pathway of development. Infancy, childhood and adolescence are seen as sensitive periods during which attachment behaviour develops -normally or deviously- according to the experience the individual has with his attachment figures.

Finally, loss or threat of loss of the attachment figure is seen as the principal pathogenic agent in the development of psychopathology.

It sounds very dodgy to me, and I would be most uncomfortable with the type of 'friendship' she claims to have with you, be careful how you end it, but end it you must.
