    Oh dear Denisefowler:eek:seems we're having alot of "oh dears" today.
    My HHC went so:
    • Packed up DS bookshelf which found its way onto the floor
    • Put away todays washing (all no iron items)
    • Last load in WM,hamper is now empty (can you believe it only took ONE day to get the hamper empty:jNever before flylady)
    • Set the table for supper (although who knows whats going on it)
    • Cleaned up the puddle of wee in the lounge ( But not in time so that DS fell in it and bumped heself :( ) Thus now sitting nursing his ego.
    Pigpen They will appreciate it later-who knows, I may not even need you lot right now if I had had to do it.
    Valli it was straight from the heart-I promise
    Serena Thank you for the virtual stuff, keep my mind off the real stuff and reminded me a good thing that came out of that trip to doctor-Ive lost another 2kilos:j

    Who are these people? Is it a thread on here?
    Yes it is http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=147067
    They are currently being very negative - with evidence - (I am not criticising them - just having little Valli panics:eek: ) about the harvests - wheat, oats, barley and so forth, due to the bad weather so are predicting shortages, price rises etc.

    I have a confession............ I have been a lazy flylady today:o

    However, in my defence I have had just 8 hours sleep in the last 48 hrs, which is why I ended up having a snoozette this afternoon I expect.;)

    Plus DD isn't here so the house is much tidier than normal.:D

    I'm off to catch up with the thread properly.

    LO bathed and nearly ready for bed:D Dishes done and S&S'd the kitchen, 2nd lot of washing on.
    Once LO is in bed i will crack on with some studying, so if anyone sees my little green light on after 7pm give me a kick, or a nudge, or a poke, no biting though please;)

    Also she wont give me my fluoxitine until she has a letter from my last doctor despite the fact that I had my pack with me. Trying to stay calm about this as I only have a few left in my pack. She actually told me I would be okay without it if I didnt think about it and that really I should be going to councelling instead:mad:

    polkadot - I'd feel inclined to make a complaint. My GP has told me under no circumstance should I stop taking fluoxetine suddenly and it has to be done gradually under his supervision (I take 40 mg a day). I'm also intrigued about the 'in this country' bit. My lovely hairdresser, who is Canadian, got what I can only term as racist abuse from a locum at her practise. He basically accused her of only being in this country for what she could get out of the NHS....I was gobsmacked. She put in a complaint. I must ask her what happened. I wonder...are the NHS running courses on being nasty to immigrants?

    PS I would recommend counselling. It has helped me enormously.
