Awww Thank you Mrs My girls are very very good. I'm very blessed!

I totally understand about the feral kitties. Mine gets so so stressed and I feel horrid moving her or even taking her to the vet. Very traumatic

I decided since the children are gone tonight that I'll watch It's a Wonderful Life so I am watching it and dozing with my kitties while Joe is at work. 7:35 pm so it's half midnight there! I hope you are all asleep and having lovely dreams!

Morning!

Your daughter is really understanding, Wheelie, bless her! Flowers

Half day today as I'm off to the ortho this afternoon. Exciting times. Hopefully he'll say he can operate and I can get booked in!

PhilomenaButterfly · 10/01/2019 06:26

Morning! Drinking coffee and watching - is it Carol today? Xmas GrinBrew

CathyBigBalls · 10/01/2019 07:53

Morning all, so sorry I haven’t been on as much. June’s been choking on her tonsils and struggling to breathe in the night and has a really Hugh temperature because of her earache. She’s off school today and we’re going down the doctors to say that we can’t really last another couple of weeks watching her because she’s getting no sleep, she’s throwing up because of her choking and in agony because of her ears.

Just a quick hello whilst I have a wee, then off to finish getting the girls ready

PhilomenaButterfly · 10/01/2019 07:57

Good luck with the ortho Fluffy! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

I don't even know who it is in that photo Mrs! I think DD could probably manage, I bet it's one of the boys!

There are loads of other photos, but I'd need to download something to block out faces. They're doing the rope course right now.

PhilomenaButterfly · 10/01/2019 10:58

Bought myself a Christmas ornament, a backlit scene with deer. 🎅🎄

Just had a cheese and tomato omelette, a banana and a coffee. 😋🍌☕

NoWordForFluffy · 10/01/2019 12:34

You shouldn't make your bed in the morning, you should throw the covers back to air the mattress to help eradicate dust mites etc! That person should be told not to bother! 😂

I'm just waiting for the train home so I can go to the hospital later on. And here it is!

I hope you have a productive day, Mrs.

CathyBigBalls · 10/01/2019 12:40

Thank you Mrs, the doctors have referred us to an ENT specialist who will assess her and decide whether there is any need for her to have her tonsils and adenoids removed. Tilly is beautiful! I’ve never liked cats much but she’s absolutely gorgeous. I hope you can sit down and rest tonight after your really productive day!.

Philomena I think we’ll be buying more decorations this year, loads of them fell down last year and broke.

Fluffy Good luck at the hospital!

PhilomenaButterfly · 10/01/2019 14:19

It's the rules of all the resis they've been on, they have to make their beds and tidy their rooms every morning, ready for the room inspection.

NoWordForFluffy · 10/01/2019 14:35

Well, they need to change the rules as that's just unhygienic, especially in beds used by multiple people!

PhilomenaButterfly · 10/01/2019 14:38

I agree, these are all different organisations though, we should start a campaign.

Mrsmadevans · 10/01/2019 16:41

Afternoon everyone Xmas Grin

Ooh, enjoy gossip club, Mrs. And your new PJs.

Do we need to start an 'avoid minging beds' campaign, PSB?! 😂

The appointment went well, once I got in there, slightly late! Consultant basically said don't have surgery, which isn't advised, or have the surgery, which is the best idea!

He's referred me as an urgent case, so it might be any time really, once I'm in the system and have had a pre-op.

He said that I'm apparently compensating really well with my 3 remaining tendons and he thinks I'll heal well because of that. But that people like me are scary as they've a tendency to overdo it a bit quickly because they can compensate well!

Picked DS2 up, had beef cannelloni and garlic bread for supper. 😋

NoWordForFluffy · 10/01/2019 18:15

I like that, PSB, where's it from?

PhilomenaButterfly · 10/01/2019 18:20

You sound like my mum Fluffy. She walked around with no hip sockets for 27 years before she collapsed. After her last hip operation she was having a shower after 2 days out of hospital. You can't tell her to take it easy. Xmas Hmm

Please look after yourself and don't push yourself too soon.

PhilomenaButterfly · 10/01/2019 18:21

Sainsbury's. We don't have anywhere else around here.

WheelchairWoes · 10/01/2019 18:22

Good morning friends!!

fluffy My kids are fantastic I really lucked out. How is your DD doing?

Cathy I'm thinking of your sweet DD :( Poor girl

Mrs Tilly is a very pretty kitty. I love her

PSB That ornament is so so pretty!! I'm so excited to get cracking on my projects! LOL

Fluffy Ugh Surgery sucks but if it's needed it's needed. That's what I keep telling myself about my own surgery. Gotta do it it's for the better.

I had my gallbladder scan today. Am waiting to hear back. The kids had their doctors appointment and all is well for them. We are waiting for the elder kid's ankle braces to come in and then we're waiting to get my youngest an appointment so she can get new ones as hers are getting too small now.

NoWordForFluffy · 10/01/2019 18:43

Wheelie, I think I missed your DDs' need for ankle braces. Will they be permanent or is it something they will grow out of / have surgery for?

At least your scan is out of the way. What's next for you?

DD is scabbing over now, thanks for asking. She's still a bit moany though! We think that DS is brewing it now though. Time will tell!

I'm a bit scared of having a GA (morbidly worrying about never waking up and all that jazz!). I'm sure it'll be fine though! And you're right, Wheelie, it's just necessary, isn't it?

WreckTangled · 10/01/2019 18:47

My dd wears resting splints. She had ones for day time by hated wearing them to school so we compromised.
