juliejim no, you dont need to stay out of my way! Not grrring at all TAs, nursing assistants, medical receptionists or legal secretaries, just the ones who claim to be what they are not.

example "why do you need to see the doctor?" from the non-medically trained receptionist.

I was going to give (from memory) the reasons that my docs surgery give in their bumph, but actually Greenbee has explained it a lot better than I could

I've done washing up, answered the phone to DH who was very worried as he's just driven through the town my parents live in and he wanted me to phone them and warn them that there is freezing rain there and it's v treacherous and two cars had come off the road - so I phoned them, they were on their way home from Wakehurst Place so warned them to be careful. My grandparents were with them and my sister said she would let them know too.
Then I went and tidied up the mouldy corner so we can sort out the shoe cupboard. It's really bad. I've got a really tickly nose now, don't think DH is going to want to help me with it as he reacts really badly to mould. But I just can't do it on my own. It's completely overwhelming.

I did quite a bit of shredding to make more room to empty the shoe cupboard.

How did you get on Ashia?

Welcome Dorastar

Triker I have often wondered that, they are symptoms of depression too, but I do wonder about ME. How are you these days?

I just wondered if the freezing rain in my parents town (which is a mile from Gatwick) would affect the airport - it seems there is disruption there. What terrible weather http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8427781.stm

Going to get out binbags, cleaning cloths and mould spray now

Random clothes flung into one suitcase. I seem to be taking enough for a month, as I've just realised that I need to put washing things, tights, socks, shoes and thermals in another bag.

Went to look for the safe key to get out my jewellery (it's been there since my last work trip) and I can't find it :mad:

I'll get everything else done, then have another look...:rolleyes: Suppose I should start putting stuff in the car too...

Hi everyone
I have been up for hours but keep getting itnterupted trying to catch up - I had to go to bed early last night as i was shattered - feel better today but have a busy day ahead with very little help so its going to be interesting!!!
Woke to about 3 inches of snow - nothing compared to what you guys have and its unusual for us to miss it - my DB phoned and they have 8-10 inches so kids are happy - we will have to wait until tomorrow to see if Mother is going to drive or if DB will have to go for her.
the road around here have been closed because of the snow and accidents but I think they are getting better all the time.

Jojo congratulations on your pass - you need to get into the studying after the holidays - :rotfl:at 'the Bloke'!!!!
lil_me you are doing really well with your unpacking/decluttering - I need to take a lesson from you!!!
Vanilla you have done very well so dont be worrying about cards and things just concentrate on the important things for you and yours for Christmas. I know just how your Ds feels - I have had enough too. I hope the court case gives you the chance to sort this out once and for all - still not a nice prospect - hope its where you are and not where she is! Hope wee Rhys doesnt suffer too much with his cold - huggles for him from a distance!!!
boddy awhh bless your Mum - how lovely for her - did you manage to get an identical one - clever you! xx
Jassa you are an inspiration and its interesting to see that MSE helped you get where you are.
serena (((hugs))) for you and DD -another sad loss of a young life. well done to your teens for doing their own Christmas stuff:T
mudders well done to DH for doing the skirting - it will stop him being bored:rotfl:
MOAM maybe I am too late - secret diary, hair bits, lip gloss, nail polish, tights, notebooks, pens, pencil case, crayons, craft stuff for making cards, jigsaw, fluffy scarf, gloves, pretty shaped soaps
natty goodness you both had dreadful jorneys - thank goodness you were not alone and managed to have a giggle or 2!!
pigpen you sound like you need a duvet day! take it steady - you will get there. (((hugs))) and if i remember right you LOVE Christmas so get a grip girl!!
Diva hello sweetie - good luck with the dentist - (((hugs))) for your loss and *better days* vibes for tristan - hope you get caught up in the house - its a nightmare when someone dosent come in xx ETA hope the dentist can fit you in again soon.
Poppytime :bdaycake:Happy Birthday -:bdaycake: hope you have a super duper day!!!
Ashia hope you get the leak sorted quickly and it doesnt make too much mess.
PenPen *CH repair* vibes for you - most inconsiderate of it to brak down at this time of year!!! good luck to Dh to sort it xx
G&B take care when you are out honey - Edinburgh is pretty bad all over.
jjef hope you manage to get out with all that snow - take care if you are driving!
lil_me Congratulations - thats brilliant - what a nice surprise - excellent timimg to give you a wee boost!!

rosepink hope the money situation sorts itself out - try to get organised so that you start the New Year with the flat all clean and tidy - you have a week to do it and if you put your mind to it you will.

ok OI am off to find a list (one of many!!) and see whats to be done - I am waiting in for a delivery and then the Dn at 2 so will crack on.
have done 1 xWM and just the last load of bedding to go now so that will be that up to date.

catch you all later
stay safe.
toots xx

Oh dear...we are officially snowed in! No buses and I'm certainly not driving. DD and I were very cruel and laughing our heads of at one of our neighbours who got her car stuck in the snow. Luckily, NN next door helped her out. Big disaster though...the grit is finished! So I dug my emergency bag of salt out of the garage and NN is trying to make the place a bit safer :A

My aunt has a land rover, so I guess we can borrow that, but that will need to wait til tomorrow when OH is here as I don't know if I'm insured to drive and tbh I really dont want to drive in the snow, 4x4 or not.

I think I will have a nice long shower and make myself look gorgeous for OH's arrival :rolleyes: :rotfl:

My HHW turned into lie on the bed for an hour to see if the room would stop spinning! I hope I'm not coming down with anything - I've already got a bit of a cold and I haven't got time to be ill.

Just having something to eat and then I'll see how I feel - I've had a couple of parrots as well to see if that helps.

What time are you going greenbee? Make sure you take your time and drive carefully and let us know you've arrived safely.

Decluttered lunch and a load of chores, still have ironing and prescription repeats to arrange, and to tell the GP she has to re-refer DD1 to paeds on the say so of a receptionist.

eta interesting comments about medical receptionists, but they are not bound by the same absolute rules of confidentiality, as my friend found when the receptionist in the obstetrics department spread it round her place of work that she was pregnant before she had a chance to tell anyone!

Welcome dorastar and good luck, starting at Christmas.

Happy Birthday Poppytime.:bdaycake:
Soappie to be honest i don't have a clue what way it will work, i'm hoping the court will say about a DNA test and just get the whole thing sorted.
Happy Birthday Sunnygirl's DD2.:bdaycake:
Penpen hope heating gets sorted asap.
Lil_me Well done.:T:T:T
