    Good news - Minion only needs braces/retainers/band things, no surgery on her jaw or extractions under anaesthesia. Spent ages in xray department getting various angles of her face zapped, only to find out that they seal the envelope nowdays so you can't look at them walking down the corridor. Spoilsports. Got our hopes up when they said it was the only xrays they have to print out now. They promised DD could see them at the next appointment in about 4 weeks. DD asked them, to make it for the end of term exams, but no joy.

    By the time we finished, was almost time for the last lesson, so had the joys of her company all day. Got stung for some new drumsticks and MccyDs. Then came back and

    WM out
    WM on
    Litter tray de-nastied
    Showerroom swept
    Loo cleaned
    Kitchen floor swept
    Living room floor swept
    Cleared rubbish off hall table
    Emptied bins
    Watered plants
    Chased Minion and her clean washing upstairs
    Tidied shelf in kitchen
    Heard noise and rescued stopout cat from Minion's evil clutches (trying to put bows on him)
    Tuned Minion's guitar
    Decluttered tea in roughly 10 seconds flat

    Crashed on bed because back is whingeing at me now. Trying to flatten it out to take some of the pressure off. Roll on the bedtime drugs.



    Just realised I haven't eaten since yesterday's tuna, so must go and get sausages on the go.


    Get a wiggle on - need to cook and get everything into the DW by 8, just because I don't want to be thinking about it overnight.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Yeh, I'm glad too...just normal, like her friends - except hers might have to be done at the hospital instead because of the proximity to resus equipment. We find out the full treatment plan next time.

    Got another letter through saying they have decided to send her for opthalmology review as well. Something else that can go wrong, apparently. :cool:

    She has never had more than one day off school per year since she was 4. This is unheard of!


    We apparently are not informing her father of this or he will only throw a hissy fit at her taking time off school for what he is certain is an imaginary condition created in my own demented little head.



    Oh well, tummy is rumbling, so off to chuck some junk in a pan.

    I open them too, a sealed envelope is just asking to be opened plus i'm nosey.:rotfl:

    Well i've been busy this last few days but no flying has been done. :o Hubby is due to come home tomorrow and PIL are coming back tomorrow. Is it bad that i CBA to do anything, the house is a tip and i just want my bed. I'm thinking of leaving the flying tonight and get hubby to help tomorrow, well they did say he should be kept busy..;)

    Door man came and fixed the door, cost abit more than expected but did need more bits fixed. I've WD40 the hinges on all the door so no more noise. :D

    Right best get some dinner on for me, sis and BIL. Kids already been fed and now ready for bed.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    LOL.. well they wouldn't be wanting to give her treatment if they thought it was all in your demented little head would they? I had this with KH about Moomins growth hormone.. like the NHS hand out treatment costing £1000 every month to neurotic loony parents who nag.. but that is what he has told everyone!! Along with all his other lies.

    My text asking why has hasn't come for the children and asking if he is having them Saturday or Tuesday appears to have been ignored... I MUST find my shocked face.. I am lost without it, people might think I expect him to be a [EMAIL="tw@t"]!!!!!![/EMAIL]. Poor Tiddles said but he might come and asked if she could go outside and look for him when I told her to get her pj's on. I said i'f he was coming he would have been here ages ago and if he did come now I would say no you had to go another day because it is bedtime! '

    Poor little thing.. she just doesn't understand :(

    DS3 said good he didn't want to go anyway

    No. Please listen to your body and have a rest woman. Bath, bed, the mess will still be there in the morning but you will have the energy to deal with it.
