    So sorry haven`t really read what people have been up to, so I apologise. A great BIG:grouphug::grouphug: AND:kisses: to all who need it.

    Triker how infuriating and bad for your health - is there not protocol where you can ask them to stop smoking - I know here you are meant to stop smoking 30 mins before your visit whether its a carer, social worker, nurse etc. I hope DD1's friend will be ok and get the support she needs to sort herself out.


    Mmmm I know its difficult because its the eprsons house but I think next time I'll say...feel clogged up throaty today, yuck and I HATE the smell of cigarette smoke.

    DD1's friend is hopefully coming out of hospital today, I don't think she can go home though so may be staying here...

    AnWsMum, sending you strength to get through the day, that goes out to all of you. xxxxx

    Doing a bit from home today so can get some washing in at least and get on with my list after I've finished some phone calls.

      to further illustrate the idiotic behaviour of the local hospital..

      I have appointments for DS2 and DD4.. same consultant.. had to reschedule these appointments 4 times already to get them on the same day!!! Then today I received a letter apologising but they have had to change DD4's appointment.. not DS's just hers.. 4:15pm on 2-3-10.. the appointment we already had was... 4:10pm on... 2-3-10.. so.. they moved her appointment time by 5 minutes and paid for another letter to be printed out and posted... how moronic is this? Like 5 minutes would make such a huge difference I even needed to be told!!

      Further to this...

      I have discovered a person who was told she had miscarried on New Years Eve, but they couldn't remove the dead embryo as the ward was full so she would have to come back in a week and they would rescan to see if it was still inside and organise surgery then..turned up for second scan to be shown a healthy baby with a very clear heartbeat.. She could easily have been misled into having the surgery the week before and missed the chance of that much wanted baby having a long happy life.. honestly.. they are getting worse I am absolutely certain of it!!

      I have made a cuppa... put both WM's on... and sorted my post

      I will now slurp my cuppa and do a binbag dance... and maybe strip the pinks beds... I did the smelly boys last weekend just to distress them lol. I need to sort an overnight bag for Moomin too as she is staying at her friends tonight.

      AnWs_mum.. and Miss A and Master W .. much love and thoughts for you all today. It is my little nieces birthday today, she is 1 and it was a very long time before she came to make her mummy and daddy happy.. So your very special daddy shares his birthday with a very special little girl too.

      GnB .. ~~~strong healthy go away germy vibes~~~ for LO.. I do hope she can fend off this next bug and have her surgery soon before she is in any more pain.

      Triker.. you know where I am if you need a whinge! I'm unbusy for the rest of the day now :D
