    Morning all,

    Please please let this be a growth spurt and not the new norm :rolleyes: Rhys was wolfing down bottles last night despite the long BF too. I've been up since before six but decided to stay awake and have cleaned up the kitchen and now enjoying a hot cuppa in peace before the builders get here.

    Blood tests (and associated squealing :() at 11am today then we're going to visit Great-Grandma. Got to be back here for half three for usual jabs - oddly there hasn't been any mention of stopping/decreasing them yet, so that's another thing to ask this morning, along with asking for a time for the kidney scan. Was hoping to see a few friends this week (teachers, so on their long hols) so need to work out where I can fit that in :)

    Wish me luck.. off to phone Tax Credits now - Rhys is 3mths old today (:j) so need to get it sorted or else we won't get it backdated :(

    Woohoo, they have received it - thank goodness for that :D Right, just sit back and wait for a letter now. Got to get the DLA sorted now then I can start the fun fun fun of phoning TC to tell them of changes of income! :o

    Thanks AM for that number! :D

    BTW, when they say "three months", apparently they mean 93 days :)

    Weezl, are you well? Fergie well? Any projects on the go at the min? :)

    Elle didn't Rhys have some tests on friday for calcium and parathyroid levels? Sorry I haven't managed to read everything I missed over the weekend and last week - but how did it go?

    Still dodgy although not as dodgy as they were. Had tests on Monday, Thursday, Saturday and more again today. They said to stop another medication and want to up his fluids (although he's done that himself) to flush out the calcium - he could have it as water if he can't cope with the milk but seems to be okay on it atm. To be honest, OH took him for the tests on Saturday so didn't ask all the questions I usually would.. I'll ask them later! ;)

    Cool let us know how he gets on! I'm sure he'll be back to normal again soon :) And it's great that he's trying to eat you out of house and home ;)

    hiya elle :)

    I'm good thanks, been a bit low energy for a few weeks, but feel better at the moment :cool:

    fergie is good, just wants to start his day at a time with a 5 in it:eek: but no complaints, I find him good company and am enjoying my time with him lots :D.

    project-wise, how funny! I have just woken with a project head on, so going to finish the cot bumpers and work on an outfit for a wedding we're going to on 25th september... haven't made anything for me before, so it might all go a bit pear shaped!

    when do you find out more about the raised calcium levels? lots of appointments this week or do you get a bit of a break? :)

    Love weezl x

    edit: sorry crossed posts, thanks for the rhys update!

    oooh, random question, anyone seen any deep rectangular shaped washkit bags anywhere, and one of those plastic clip on things that goes over the head of your toothbrush when you go on hols?

    speaking of hols, what did you decide about holiday pram, elle?
