    Elly you must have tons of patience, so sorry about your mum's OH, hope it all calms down a bit - maybe you're just the sibling with the best sense of humour so you can just crack on with it while the others can't. I do that with threes, weird isn't it but it always seems to happen. Hope your day goes as well as it can and your mum is OK xx xx
    Mambury, maybe having more to do will make you automatically speed up and get it all done anyway? I duunno, it always works for me if there's just not enough time to think about it and you just have to keep moving. Hope you get on well at work :) xx xx
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    Bloddy hell Elly you are good at keeping things to yourself!!
    Big hugs hun. I know you are well practised at being strong and kind of self sufficient but we do care about you and here for you whether its a hug you need or just somewhere to mindlessly dribble about merkins and smelly shoes.
    If you are around I will join you in a glass of wine later and happily read your long non punctuated blether and I'll try to tuck Joprah out of the way in bed with some hot chocolate!
    Seriously I am really upset for you and at same time I know you will handle it - just wish you didn't have to.

    Paula so sorry the dr wasn't any help to you. Do you have a lady doctor at your practice. I find the are often more understanding and are better listeners.

    Hi Rosie. how are you doing. got to get dh to go buy the wine yet.lol.
    he's at a rehearsal now and then the gig later so just home for an hour in between so I plan to make good use of him.haha.
    was discussing gps today and very funny that 2 of us using same practice have very differing views on the individual doctors but we are quite similar in outlook.
