The OS Doorstep - a helpful and supportive thread in these tough times

Possession

Two of them are Fuddle, the other two are meant to be outside but are upstairs at the moment because one of them needs so much medication and is hard to catch! It's getting cold though so they'll have to go out soon and get their winter coats, otherwise they'll be in all winter. My mum will not be impressed to be sharing the spare room with 2 giant rabbits.

How are the bunnies settling together Possession?

Evening all - thank you for your thoughts, am feeling exhausted but not as chesty so the antibiotics are working on the chest, the abcess is still a bother, but I think its gone down a little

I made a big leap today, my dental phobia is at its worst and the last dentist I went to was really quite dismissive and not at all understanding. There is a dentist in our town which everyone is always trying to get into - my friend was there yesterday and overheard the nurse tell the reception they were expecting influx when they opened books to a dozen new patients today, so I called and swapped over me and all the kids. I have an appointment for two weeks time and the kids have a check up booked for January.
Now I just need to make myself go to the appointment,

And in other news, I have applied for a job, its ridiculous that I am contemplating it, but its a few hours a week, covers my doing alot of what I already do - committees etc and is just what I want to be doing. If I am honest I am also thinking its a stepping stone to more, and will mean that if I get to the stage where I ask OH to leave, I will at least have a small job and income to keep us going.

Pooky

If its meant to be Kidkat then it will all work out!

I've not been to the dentist in years, I don't have a dental phobia but a silly strong gag reflex and a fear of vomiting. I can't get over it at the dentist so just haven't been. I will be brave one day. Honest.

Pooky - thats a major issue for me as well, I have a horrible gag reflex and it causes me no end of issues.

when I go I have got to have this tooth out and I will have to be sedated, no way I can go through with the needle again.

Hi kidcat

hope you better soon.

I have dental phobia too found local dentist in august who was awful. so then found another dentist next town who seemed nice.

I need a filling replacing and teeth cleaning. He suggested take some diazapam and he inject me too hoping to finally get it resolved novemeber when hubbys next got week days off as was gong to do it september but lifes been messy.

Careful you dont overdo things.Last year i id preschool commitee was far too much of a time commitment.
enjoying having bit less to do this year lookng after kids is enough.

Thanks everyone for asking and missing me.

You all are my mse angels and feel so lucky to have so much kindness and support. Mardartha love the sparkly stuff thanks so much its really kind gesture. have deleted some messages dident realise sent messages clog up inbox.

Got a few days catching up to do.

Trying to think whats happened this week sure has flown by.

rang housing next appointment next friday.

sent off another request info tax credits.

hubbys had problems organising appeal and looks like could be few weeks delay its worrying me. More the whole reference thing as so scared he lose new job.

Have agents inspection again tuesday so fed up of them.

Its been difficult me and hubby rowed a bit latly i sooo tired.

we had heart to heart yesterday and hes promised more support at night with kids..

He says he needs me to be strong we cant afford for me to fall apart,

Im doing my best not to fall apart and stay strong.

I went gps dident tell him everything but have months worth sleeping pills, but no pills for my anxiety or panic. I dont want to go on anti ds so will see if few good nights sleep make the difference.

My prescription charges were £15 seems so steep when just over border they free. Think its silly prices these days and should be sort of tiered pricing like dental.

I did explain I know I need to stop being a hermit but its hard.

Going to try again after half term at moment doing bare min as just need some space.

I think I just need time as this is hubby,s 2nd week back in work feels weird him not being here as got used to having him around.

Hes been dong morning school run which has been nice.

Picked middle child up from nursery they really sad shes leaving.

Got caught in rain this week today thankfully dry managed to get some washing dry.


Got lots food in house still did spag bol tonight value garlic read reduced mince. still lots i freezer .

When benefits ie housing/tax credits to pay up im

doing big food shop-giving lots to local food bank

want to do few operation xmas child shoe boxes

Gailey - if you get working tax credit I think your prescriptions are free - if you get a receipt I am almost sure you can claim back any you have paid for whilst you were waiting for the claim, there is an online form request section on the gov.uk web site

Gailey if your on working tax credits you should recieve prescriptions for free. Keep your receipts,go to the chemist and ask for a rebate form so you can get your money back.

Kidcat sorry I didn't reply, yes were still going away. I've paid for the caravan and things so seems a waste of money if we don't go.

to be honest I think we need,a break

Quality Street Fruit Creams!!!!!

We suffer here in the colonies. We just get the regular tins and I steal the orange and strawberry ones.

Well I went straight online and cant find them local to me anywhere:o

Gailey - does your middle child not qualify for free nursery provision or is she too young?
