I have.. decluttered a wall of plaster.. I started off vacuuming a corner and got.. a little .. erm.. carried away..
Mim's CoD is dumped outside anad her new one is upstairs.. in need of floor clearing and the clothes sorting.. I think I may have taken on more than I can handle in there.. Ooops...
*trots off to check out the price of new guttering....* tralala..
Molly.. question me all you like, it doesn't make it any less shocking or appalling that someone in that position does not know how to fill out a blood card.. Unfortunately it is the way of the world that we are all too eager to complain about the bad things in life while not rejoicing the good things. Would it have been quite so offensive to you had it been a consultant or the GP or a nurse on say, the gynae ward I was complaining about?
DS3's middle name is Maxwell.. as close as we could get to Maxine.. the name of the MW at his birth.. What greater honour is there?
Apparently they don't know how to return phone calls either.. oh well.. don't want to talk to them anyway
.. it won't be important.

Lamewolf I love that poem.
Pigpen Does it really smell that bad. We found a leak from the bathroom to the kitchen at the weekend. Don't know how long it had been happening. Its made the top of the cupboard come apart and the ceiling is all stained. We tried painting over it but it's just come through:( We only had it replastered a year ago but it's looking like it has to come down:mad:
