Wow lucky dog! Not sure sure where to send my dog now, it all gets expensive. Trouble is now HD Ferries aren't running it does seem a lot more expensive! Last year we went over 2 or 3 times as at about £125 return trip it wasn't too bad.

Suppose I should feed both of us!

Maybe you two could swap dog sitting?
And if there's enough of you maybe charter a boat to the mainland lol!

I've been reading the boys their new stories, but they started fighting halfway through the gruffalo so I left them to it. All end in tears I expect but they are boys!

But that is just my experience. When I found out I was going to have to wear one, I read a book by Judy Blume called "Deenie" (Wikipedia entry here ) and it helped to know that other people (even if it was just in a book) were going through similar feeling of hating the brace and the fact that they stood out.

If your DD4 does get one, no matter how uncomfortable or singled out she may feel I would highly recommend her wearing it as much as she is told to, or as much as she can stand, it gets easier over time . I didn't and I still suffer with back problems which may or may not have been solved by the back brace.

Thank you!! And if she needs one I'll be making sure it gets worn! She has better posture just with the insoles so we are hoping we have caught it in time before the muscles etc in the back become dostorted

Which reminds me, Pigpen, did you find out where the extra £200ish came from when you went to check your balance? Did the bank mess up or have you also had a sudden windfall?

No idea.. but I spent it now so its too late! lol

Gryfon Isn't it ridiculously expensive to escape this rock and don't get me started on kennel charges. Mind you the lady who minds my dog walks them about 4 times a day so I shouldn't complain. it's like a doggy spa lol

Jeez, you should try escaping THIS rock!

Pigpen, like Nicki said about braces they are not the nicest things in the world, but the alternative is not very nice. If my LO had not had her back seen to she would likely not be with us just now:( I dont know how serious your DD's condition is, but the treatment is a short term solution to a fairly debilitating problem. Sorry if i'm teaching granny to suck eggs, and i know you dont trust doctors, but thats just my tuppence worth.

thank you! She has one leg shorter than the other so when she stands her back is twisted so her body is vertical but her pelvis is at an angle.. there is about an inch difference in the height at one hip compared to the other.. even the the leg difference is less.. it would be barely noticable at 5 feet talle but she is not quite 3 feet yet! As a result the muscles in one side of her back are more developed than the other and the tendons/ligaments are streching/growing according to how she is stood rather than straight. Her back is in a similar position to someone with a baby on their hip.

The insoles she has level her legs as one has a raise.. as well as stopping the pronating.. so we are hoping it has been caught in time. Her walking is better but she is still complaining about her back and hips hurting. If the posture doesn't improve the next step is a back brace.

Tiddles has insoles too.. but she has loose ligaments in the fronts and side of her legs and really tight ligaments in her feet.. so she has curly toes and floopy feet!!

WOOOHOOOO, seeing major progress in the spare room now that everthing has a home to go to.
Have managed to empty the large drawers into a smaller set and another set that were already in there, so the bigger set can go in my room for DP's clothes(currently in the boiler cupboard in our room, which clears out boiler cupboard so can store bedding etc in there!)Going to move drawers in our room into boys room as extra storage for them too.

Have moved one of the chair beds into boys room, the other is staying in spare room for nephew when he stays.
The HuGE beanbag will either go in the corner down here or get flung, havent decided yet!!

Ok back to it, have got just over an hour before school run.
