  • Susan I agree that a complaint letter would be a good idea, me and OH actually complained about this when we had to go to hospital for something, we were in the waiting room and we could hear someone being told they had miscarried and it was awful, she then had to sit with the rest of us (some of which were heavily pregnant) I thought it was an awful situation, I am thinking of you

    I hope Alice wasn't too disapointed with a hospital picnic rather than a Beamish one...
    We took lots of stickers so she was happy. We're going to take her out somewhere nice tomorrow though as she's had a very dull week staying at home most of the time not doing much and has been very good despite it all (and very well behaved at the hospital) so we think she deserves a treat.

    :naughty: I'm sure you said you weren't going to have it valued when you got your new kitchen because you'd end up selling it.

    My unsealed jars of chutney have now been reboiled, the second round of laundry is drying and the first is folded and ready to be put away and I am off to make some cookie dough. TTFN :D

    How do you mean unsealed?! I just put lids on mine :o Did I need to do something special?

    Thanks all - decision "made for me" by the fact that the bed I wanted wasn't available for delivery in kingsize, only superking ;) relatively pleased with an order which a) had £180 off various items in sale, b) had another 15% off with discount code (£105 saved), c) has 5% cashback (so £30-odd to come back), d) is with a nectar retailer using my Nectar credit card, so should net me 2800ish Nectar points (another £14 or so, or double at ASK :p).

    One stress down :o til it all arrives and requires storing and assembling!

    Some stacking may be viable Krystal, we shall see. Room is currently also "OH's office" where she tries to write, and has a couple of closets one of which has my work clothes, and may also become Elijah's nursery in a few months depending, so can't ram it too high full of miscellaneous or it all has to come apart again later. Some ruthlessness required.

    Thanks for calming wishes. I am ok probably, just venting which always helps. E has apparently not had a nap today, so off home in a minute either to melting-down baby, or sleeping baby, depending :p

    Susan, write a letter in a week or two, that is such offensive and dumb behaviour. It's just common sense as to what they should have done, I hate when people don't think :( sorry if it made things worse.

    Yes - it's obviously a practice that hospitals need to look at.

    May I be so bold as to say that I think While Alice needs a treat, both you and your husband need one too - and for what its worth I think your plan sounds a lovely idea.
