Bumblebees are funny things. You can't squish them like other bugs, cause they're like little fluffy puppies. I tend to talk them out of my windows.
Cafc - my dog is only useful if a spider runs right next to her nose, otherwise useless, big lump.

Oh mine just sat here watching it, and then thought barking at it would help me, when all I really wanted him to do was shut up and get in the kitchen!

It was very fluffy and puffy, and all dozey like while it was flying. It was looking a bit touch and go though as to whether Mr Bumble would get custody of the living room while I hid upstairs.......but managed it....

the dog is now asleep under the tv cabinet.... obviously the drama was a bit much for him :rotfl:

Hi freebiequeenie, how long did it take for your appointment to come through after being referred? I was at the docs yesterday as I've been having trouble with my lower back and hips which is making it difficult to walk and get up/sit down. My OH had to put me on the loo the other day - not a good look! Anyway he's referred me, but if it's likely to be a while I'll book a pregnancy massage to try and help.

I went to a group session almost 3wks and for that was referred on the tues by midwife and on fri had a letter for app on the monday!! The group session was a obsteric physio talking to a group of woman about how to manage their back/pelvic girdle pain.

at the end she gave so small excercises we could do at home and said if didnt help ring in 2wks for a one:one app. I asked at end if I could make an app there and then which we did and had to wait just under 3wks as needed a 1hr app.

Hope you get an appointment through quickly

Sciatica goes down your leg, but it starts in the back. Its from a specific vertebrae being misaligned and pushing down on the nerves that flow from that vertebrae. So your body signals its distress by sending pain signals down the affected nerve to try and tell you to do something about it.....

P.S Chiropractic/Bowen Therapy is good for it

Phoned Pumpkin re: my order or blimmin lack of order!! :mad: the woman on the phone advised me some items were out of stock so I have bits missing from my order, she said its been dispatched but doesnt know where, also the 2nd order i placed just after will not be dispatched until after 26th April!! How ridiculous!!! I think I am doomed with ordering stuff, pumpkin hav let me down and so did Vertbaudet (with items all being sold out but still cashing my cheque, so now i have 'credit' on my account and I dont want to order anything, incase its SOLD OUT :mad: grrr im annoyed! I phoned OH and he told me not to be so silly there will be plenty more things I will want! I am finding some ebay bargains though ordered some lovely snowsuits (yes I am expecting an AUGUST baby lol) and some other bits and pieces for £1-2

gill_81uk

kitkat - meant to ask how you go on with getting a refund for your cheque? or did you decide it wasn't worth the hassle in the end?

I've not had my pumpkin order yet - I only ordered 2 things, knowing my luck both will be out of stock

CAFCGirl

Thank you Gill....

It is officially saved on my desktop

Sorry *hides in shame*

Gill; I phoned them and they were pretty reluctant, they said i could use it on a future order. I said I would look online at whats in stock, prob is I have a code on my account to get £10 off my order, and its only valid on full price items, every item i like is in the sale so the £10 off isnt valid! I think if i fight it hopefully I will get my money back but to be honest I lost interest, I might try again now as I am abit annoyed and feel I am doomed with ordering!!! They hav some lovely items but I have about £30 credit on my account, and that would only buy about 3 sleepsuits as they are more expensive. I would rather the money back and pop into tescos/ asda and buy a pack of 2 sleepsuits for £4.50 lol :rotfl:
