Valli - if you don't call NHS direct NOW I will call you and check up on you. They can cope with you crying. If its that bad, you need a professional opinion, and they can connect you to a nurse, or doctor, or your own GP's out of hours service, or tell you to go to hospital.

I have to leave the office now and find my way to the hotel... hoping there is a parking space :rolleyes: . I won't be able to log on again until tomorrow afternoon, so please can you all keep an eye on Valli and make sure she calls NHS direct this evening? I know Pigpen doesn't approve of doctors, but I think this is a case where speaking to one would be a good idea...

I will, of course, be worrying about her until I can get back on line, but I know you all have fantastic powers of persuasion, so I'm sure you can get her sorted out.

Valli - hugs for you, hope you feel better soon

and for Greenbee.

Tee Hee I saw this on another thread:)

Dear Santa,
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I've been a good mum all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor, sold sixty-two cases of choc bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my son's red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between cycles, and who knows when I'll find anymore free time in the next 18 years.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Here are my Christmas wishes:[/FONT]

• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache (in any colour, except purple, which I already have) and arms that don't hurt or flap in the breeze; but are strong enough to pull my screaming child out of the lolly aisle in the grocery store.[/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventh month of my last pregnancy.[/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If you're hauling big ticket items this year I'd like fingerprint resistant windows, a radio that only plays adult music; a television that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals; and a refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can hide to talk on the phone.[/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]On the practical side, I could use a talking doll that says, "Yes, Mummy" to boost my parental confidence, along with two kids who don't fight and three pairs of jeans that will zip all the way up without the use of power tools.[/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting "Don't eat in the living room" and "Take your hands off your brother," because my voice seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only be heard by the dog.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough time to brush my teeth and comb my hair in the same morning, or the luxury of eating food warmer than room temperature without it being served in a Styrofoam container.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If you don't mind, I could also use a few Christmas miracles to brighten the holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare tomato sauce a vegetable? It will clear my conscience immensely. It would be helpful if you could coerce my children to help around the house without demanding payment as if they were the bosses of an organized crime family.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Well, Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is ringing and my son saw my feet under the laundry room door. I think he wants his crayon back. Have a safe trip and remember to leave your wet boots by the door and come in and dry off so you don't catch cold. Help yourself to cookies on the table but don't eat too[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]many or leave crumbs on the carpet.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Yours Always, MUM...!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]P.S. One more thing...you can cancel all my requests if you can keep my children happy, healthy and always believing.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I hope you have a peaceful, family-filled Christmas and see you in the New Year![/FONT]

still catching up, bu that is both funny and heartwarming!!
