No it's just the anemia I think. Don't want to end up back in hospital really, don't feel as bad as I did last time but then I did get told last time by all the consultants that I had the lowest Hb they'd ever seen

I don't think how you feel is that reliable an indicator of how bad your anaemia is. The first time I had it, I was borderline yet I could only just stand up long enough to have a shower and at one point actually had to prop my head up to watch TV. This year my HB and ferritin were the worst they've ever been but if I hadn't tried to give blood I wouldn't have known as I had no symptoms.

Happy birthday Isla! Sorry I missed you this morning.

Weezl, bread flour seems to be increasing rapidly in price. Would it be worth getting in a stock of that?

Ah ok

Current theory is that because I've spent such a long time anemic in the past my body just compensates for it and it has to get really low for me to feel it, hence the docs ordering me to go in if I feel remotely funny When my Hb was 45 I couldn't stay up long enough to shower, not even with the bath board social services gave me when I couldn't walk:o


Won't make that mistake again

Well the kitchen is clean, I've even mopped the floor!

Now to start on in the lounge, which is a disgrace. I've got 2 sofas and there is so much washing to go away on one of them you can't even see what colour the sofa is :rotfl:

Is smartie about today?

Katie is currently throwing a temper tantrum as I won't cook her lunch in the microwave - it's an Aldi French Bread Pizza, I'm just ignoring her, she's sat behind the curtain saying "I want in the microwave."

She's tired after her morning of baking at playgroup.

Hi everyone. We've had lots of fun at messy play, other than Izzy being a bully and pushing all the babies around She is normally good with the babies and only falls out with the kids her own age, but today she was a horror :eek:

She is definitely not a vege baby any more (not that she was completely, but always refuses to eat meat when she is given it)... today I've given her a ham sandwich for lunch and she has picked out all the ham and left the bread. It is still nasty processed ham rather than proper meat, but we will see. Not that I mind her being vegetarian like mummy, but DH doesn't want her to be (or at lest not till she is big enough to do it because she has made the decision herself iyswim).

Thats kids for you!

One of my twins kicked off at nursery on pancake day when they were younger.

Twin2 had said she wanted jam on her pancake, then kicked off because 'it was sticky' so then they cut the jammy bit off and had the full on wails because 'it was broken' :rotfl::rotfl:

Rang the doctors to make an appointment for Charlotte to have her pre-school booster injections. Apparently they can only do the injections in the baby clinic which runs from 2pm-3.30pm every Tuesday afternoon. I explained she's at nursery in afternoon so could I just have them done in a normal nurse appointment, but the receptionist said they are not allowed to give appointments out for vaccinations at any other time. I need to speak to the practice manager and get permission to have a vaccination outside of the baby clinic but he's on holiday this week, so I'd have to ring back on Monday.

So I just booked her in for the last appointment next week and I'll just collect her half an hour early from nursery.

Stupid rules!
