Oh the joys of having blood taken! Lol! I'm tiny and my veins are tiny and I've had more blood tests in my life than I care to even imagine so it's a pain in the bum for them to find my veins. Having blood taken isn't too bad though unless they have to try about 8 times :eek: but having a canula really is a b!tch! I don't know how I was fine with them taking blood from me when I was 5 for the 1st time but I just had to get used to it. I'm waiting on some results too, will keep my fingers crossed for you (I read your story earlier xx) :A

With most of the other nurses they end up putting a butterfly in the vien in my hand and get bloods that way.
I agree with the canulas, when I was last in the hospital with appendix they had to resite them every day for my IVs ended up like a dalmation, in the end they had to go to the kids ward at the Royal (different building from were I was) to get some 'magic' cream to numb the area because I was jumping every time they tried to go in with the needle, I even told then to used the butterflies and attach the canula onto it but they were student in their final year and had to site a normal canula in a patient to get that credit :mad:.
In the end (day 7 of my kidnapping) I told them if they couldn't get it sited the next time they tried I wanted to have oral meds because I wasn't going through that again. Luckily my numbers had dropped again and they sited the canula easily using 'magic' cream (very nice country doc) and next day said I'd be going home and on oral meds if bloods that day came back better

I usually only go in when my friend is on CS but try not to do it too often with her on because don't want to get her into trouble but she has asked me to let her know what's glitching so she can send her OH in to get the goodies. She doesn't want to know where I get my info from because then she feels she'd have to say something to her boss about it so I just text her OH and then she's not involved:rotfl:

CS in there and C0nnswat3r have their own rules that they follow, I once got DTD on half price roses and told a few elderly couples about there policy and to make the most of it because they'd get their money back. I got 6 boxes, one of the couples got 10 and the other got 15:eek: also a lady had over heard me and she picked up 10 boxes also. Thankfully I'd warned them not to let on that they knew it would be a different price, the wee old men and women were fantastic we were all qued up at CS all holding the same things and our precious reciepts
I made a point of taking the SA (not my friend) to the SEL, she tutted and muttered about someone being in deep doodoo then went back to CS to get the DTD authorised.
When she got back and there were so many of us there she said you lot are in this together, you knew this would happen I'm not sure if you'll get the DTD now. One of the men turned and said that not only did he nor his wife not know and of us but that he now wanted to speak to the manager if he was being accused of fraud or deception, went on about being a war veteran and if it wasn't for him and his army buddies were would our country be, a very good thing for him to play on.
Needless to say duty manager turned up, a very nice lady who not only gave the DTD but told SA off for treating us the way she did:D
Now I try to avoid getting a DTD when I see her on the desk also haven't been in the store much lately due to being followed in it and Nasty Nick the at one point some sort of manager who refused to refund even though I had a reciept (even if it was a golden DTD one for £260:eek:) but he's now moved to one of the Bang0r or ards stores so free to go back and hopefully not be followed

I'd ask which one your chum is but I doubt you'd tell me! There's a jumped up little twerp in knag who had a right go at some woman about selection boxes a few weeks ago. Seems to be some sort of manager wannabe but seems he has a chip on his shoulder.

So the Nasty Nick - do tell as those are my local stores. I've a fair idea which store he may be at as one particular store is terrible for making up lies to get out of DTDs. C'water tried to do me out of a DTD months ago saying the label was for something different. I asked to see the label and pointed out the description matched to which they said the barcode didn't. Funny, when I re-checked the barcodes did match.

It has been manic here - have somehow overdone dd2 Physio and hurt her leg, hope I haven't done any severe damage. Off to see the consultant next week who hopefully will reassure me that she is ok, I am feeling so guilty and like a bad mum at the moment doesn't help when she won't even talk to me properly

First welcome back

Second sorry to hear about your dd Poor you! Oh course you feel guilty, that's because you're a good mum not a bad mum!! I'm sure dd will realise that you were just trying to help. My Mum used to put me through my paces with physio rigorously!! I used to be so angry because I just wanted to play (and then when I was older go out) but I understood how much she was helping me and hopefully your dd will too If I don't speak to you directly before the hosp, good luck, may the new year bring some luck with it :A

am i being thick here... i dont understand? xx

and this baby is coming tonight!!!!!!!! dont want to be induced tomorrow...

Have you tried polo mints (the original not spearmint) and fresh orange juice. Tastes a lot better than castor oil too, and much less conspicuous for a pregnant lady to buy.

Oh and my labour with my second son was 40 minutes from start to finish, (not induced), first son was just over 12 hours induced, third son induced and roughly an hour from start to finish. These are all from first contraction.

Funnily enough, it was recommended no more after third son due to speed of delivery. He was slightly premature and came out at a whopping 10lb 1.5lbs. So much for my small baby I was told I was having. He is now 18 and 6ft 6ins and possibly still growing :eek:

Oh and not that you want to but I think you should try and wait to the 1st of January so you can say to your little girl you were pregnant with her for a whole year, or she was a year late !;)

Oh don't forget the free drugs.................. and not in Tesco, paracetamol somehow just doesn't cut it when in labour.

i think it is unfare that you give until the night before to make a prediction, if i were to be bidding on this as every regular ebayer knows. the later the better. most action is in the last moments of an auction. ie the bid may well get to £15 by thursday so id have been better not guessing till then. so could you make the deadline for guesses 48hrs before the finish.
can you tell ive been on the *iss xxx;)


PS I TRIED THE J2O no joy tonight

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Karen!!! xxxx

Thanks hun, I hope one day she does realise that I am only doing it to help her, at the moment being 6 yrs old she just sees me as a pain ....literally!! It is really difficult not knowing if I have actually done some damage to a tendon or pulled her hamstring or whether the little madam has worked out by crying and screaming of pain means mummy won't do it for a few days :eek:
