So much for that. There's a manufacturing problem with 10mg Morphgesic tablets. Because GP specified brand (gods know why) pharmacy can't dish out just any 10mg morphine sulphate tablets, despite the fact that they are precisely the same drug, at the same strength. Pharmacist phoned surgery to ask that they provide an "open" prescription (ie not specify brand) but it won't be done til at least tomorrow.
Mr LW will visit surgery tomorrow to see if it's been done. :A
If it has, we have to then go into town again tomorrow (I dislike going 2 days in a row as it knocks me out).
Extra Oramorph liquid glugged this evening to reduce pain levels to bearable.

Frog done - new peg bag made
With fabric that my sis gave me, ages ago, when I was helping her clear out, so I will remember her every time I peg out my washing. She isn't here to be told I have finally made something with the fabric, so I am telling you. I still have fabric left.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Thank you Honey Bear0 -
Hubby sorted out the furniture for Nursery this evening, so I'll be sorting that out tomorrow. Mainly just putting items away, although there is a lot of it. I'm so glad my maternity leave has now started.
I also need to pack my hospital bags as I only have just a few more weeks to go until my due date, eek.
We're having a new bathroom fitted next week, so I need to get the house into some kind of order. A full clean is needed.
Tomorrow will also be spent catching up on washing, god knows where it all comes from.0 -

Morning all
hugs lw and anyone else who needs them.
Valli peg bag is a lovely idea, I had the bridesmaid dress I wore at my aunties wedding when I was young stuffed in a bag. Last year I took it apart and made a cushion for my mum and have enough scraps left to make patchwork cushions for my sister and me. Mum was thrilled as her sister was much loved and still missed. Mum said she likes to be able to sit and have a cuppa in the morning knowing Lucy is close to her again.
Much better than the dress or fabric sitting unused in a cupboard.SPC~12 ot 124
