Not all of them CT, some are 'optional' but make my life a lot easier in that I don't need to provide round the clock supervision anymore. Previously we split the nights between nurses and us but someone awake needed to supervise her 24 hours a day. We still don't have a pram from OT. I need to chase it again now as she's very near the weight limit again on her 'baby' pushchair.
Swapping the rooms was mainly the bunk beds and things. Most of their toys are in the toy cupboard and the bigger things in my bedroom anyway. I think it will work so much better for us this way round

Good idea to chase the OT.
When I was wee (A long long time ago!!) by the time I used to get my new night splints they were too blooming small & I used to scream the house down :eek:

I really fail to see how something is considered optional when the other alternative is 24 hour care where somebody has to be awake to monitor DD.
It's so nice to read you're happy with your new room. Any space, no matter how small is extra special when it's just yours. Sounds like you're creating yourself a little haven of peace and tranquility. x0 -
Surely providing the equipment would save them money over providing a nurse. At least you know you will have working equipment tomorrow.

Enjoy your new room
I spent ages the other day organising DD's kitchen, it was a thing of beauty with everything sorted nicely! It lasted all of about 30 seconds once she got home

Thank you
Morning, We have only just got up!
Lots to sort to day and get done today then we can have a slow weekend before back to school on Monday
Boo!
Just having a cuppa watching gilmore girls again It makes me so happy watching this, I don't even know why!
Loved having my own room and youngest stayed in her own bed ALL night! I will survey to get bits needed after everything else is sorted first and watch on the free sites.
Hope everyone has a good day

Morning Wannabe,
Lovely to hear you sound more upbeat and positive, your diary is just oozing with it
It is lovely that you have got a nice space to call yours, it does help your state of mind and yay to littlest one staying in her bed all night.
I agree about finding bits of shopkins and lego about the house, it irks me no end when I blitz DD's room and still find bits once I think I've finished. Sadly though my DS has outgrown the small fiddly bits of toys now
Have a lovely day xx0 -
Thank you Pmo2 I feel alot happier and able to get through now. Amazing what a difference it makes.
I think the girls are harder to keep in check because there's 2 of them in the same room they just blame each other :rotfl: and youngest still doesn't get the point of each thing having it's own box. If she plays with them together why can she not just chuck them in a box together :rotfl:
