!!!!!!.. Jsut spent an hour chasing the orthopaedic referral for Tiddles.. I swera they are incompetant.. they were supposed to have sent details through on 23rd December.. hospital don't have them.. well we sent them.. so send them again.. but we already sent them.. I don't care, the hospital don't have them, the hospital need them or Tiddles doesn't get an appointment, tiddles NEEDS said appointment otherwise we wouldn't have been referred so just email the details through.. but we already sent them.. let me speak to someone who actually listens and has a brain.. pardon?... ARRGHH!!!!!!!!

*cue head smashing up wall*

Anyway.. the details have now been sent again and the appointment people at hospital are meant to be ringing when they've got them.. so I'll ring them Monday just to make sure..

Council tax muppets want to charge me for 2 months council tax when I was a student and 2 months when we have been on jobseekers.. erm.. no.. I don't think so!!! .. waiting for those morons to call back now!

listed another 13 dollops of dung on ebay... so hopefully I'll have some space back in my room. I have a few more bits o list as well but I've lost some of the listings.. oh, just remembered they may be on the PC downstairs TL rather than my lappy TL..

I filled in 2 questionnaires for the girls school.. and had a gripe about the Polish students being segregated.. they have their own classes and registrations groups etc and are actively discouraged from associating with the non-Polish students.. they also get extra trips out etc.. the studens from other countries do not get these priveleges they are thrown in with everyone else and sink or swim. The Polish children might not mind but I know the rest of the student body do! I also had a gripe about not being able to get in touch with heads of year. 3 months from DD1 leaving high school and they are on about changing her english class because her A grade isn't good enough they want her to have A*.. !!!!!! who cares? She only needs a C grade to be classed as a pass anyway!!!

I need a drink.. and I think a snooze.

I'll see if I can manage a binbag dance now... and I never got the letter to the solicitor so I'll do that after dropping grots at school tomorrow morning.

Valli.. package number 2 arrived as well... thank you so very much!!! Nice to have a piece of mail I don't need to moan about!! lol.. daren't unwrap just yet though as I have kittens in the room.. kittens + feathers = one screaming bald kitten kicking me!

AND... I got an ebay payment through this morning.. 11 days after the auction ended and 4 ignored reminders/messages

Bras are important. Apparently they need replacing every 6 months as after that they generally stop doing their job properly (something you don't generally realise until you get a new one!). So go out and get it over and done with

I can't really afford to at the moment.. I've only had these ones a few months but they are too small now.. I am certain th booby fairy keeps coming in my room instead of the girls.. I have gone from a C to an E/F+ in the last year!! The rest of me is the same size as it has been for the last 9 years.. other than when I was pg with DDs 4 and 5. I need to get DD1 and DD2 new ones first really.. I just hate shopping.

Hi

I am catching up with the tread on my lunch break.

Toots, you are on fire. You fly, you post on the thread, remembering everyone. And you always so encouraging. And everyone else on this thread too, don’t get me wrong.

Lil-me Happy Birthday to your DS2.

Keys, well done on your first attempt. I remember how it feels (mine was about 2 weeks ago.)

BTW, you know they talk about MSE moment. I am sure I had my FL moment! :rotfl:

Diva, positive vibes to Tris and Michelle.

Toochoosey, don’t smash the laptop. Whatever it is, it will be ok. I hope. I was going to say: don’t cry. But I like crying. It is kinda therapeutic.

AnW’Mum, well done! You are ok for another year.

Mumof2, ouch for your finger. I hate cuts.

Poohspals, some people think I am obsessed with this thread too, I like to call it a healthy fixation.

Natty 68, hope you feel better soon. :A


Good vibes to EVERYONE. I cant wait to get home and start my Wed list.:j:j:j
