    ,[strike] phone bank[/strike], pay off CC, [strike]get key for back door done, OU study[/strike], playgroup art things,
    Birthday pressie for 1y old, clean and fix lawn mower, send off old mobile, clean pram, repair draws on bed, sell reusable nappies,

    This was a busy HHC! I'm off to make myself a coffee and then I tackle the filing. Can't do the vacuum until DS(1) is awake, and he loves to help!

    Nursery also rang, that DS(3) is kicking off. Doesn't like to eat lunch and 'hates' everyone.
    I am not able to pick him up, until DS(1) is awake. He needs his sleep!!!! as he had a rough morning.
    I wish Germany had a website like moneysavingexpert!

    Sorry to be boring but ringing the drs tomorrow is not good enough, do it NOW.

    Like the others have said it could be a warning of something more serious!!

    Do it NOW


    Nicki do you need to alter the height or position of your chair and / or move the keyboard so it is closer / further away from you.
    I agree with this, the advert says any single one of these symptoms mean you should call 999. Please get checked out, even if it's just to get us off your back. We are worried about you!

    I agree - you should def go to the docs..... please.

    A woman at a BBQ had a simple stumble and fell down. She was sure she was ok, bit of pins and needles in her hand from where she had fallen. Turned out to be a stroke and the consequences were severe.

    Please please go.

    Natty....maybe you could get it checked out today? If you phoned the doctors now maybe you could get an appointment this afternoon.:confused:Just to be on the safe side. Most doctors would rather it be nothing than find out you didn't get it checked out.

    Going to get out of my scruffs now and get ready to go out to play centre. Niece and nephew here now and they're occupied for 15 minutes on the Wii playing Mario Party so I'll sort myself out and then get DD2 up.

    Spag bol for tea then ironing tonight.

    See you later.

    ok have rung the Dr's but unfortunately it's only emergencies this afternoon. Anyway the Dr is going to ring me back later this afternoon to discuss the symptoms and then decide if I need to go in to be seen. The receptionist said it sounded urgent so they didn't mind taking my details..they are good like that at the Drs thankfully.

    Just rung hubby and told him and he said it sounds like the same thing I had all those years ago when I was first diagnosed, or it could be a trapped nerve. The only thing I is I have to drive to the Dr's as there is no one that can take me, thankfully the car is easy to drive and I don't have to make an effort to change gears or anything..and I am right handed and the numbness is in the left arm/hand.

    Thank you for caring, will update as soon as I hear from the Drs..but in the meantime I am going to have a shower/get dressed and have something to eat. I'm not ill so I can still do some things on my list which I will do while waiting for the appointment. :)
