Perhaps they are living in the dolls house a la Beatrix Potter?

Parcel sounds good be sure to send it rodent registered delivery

i am not very brave i have had to get the neighbour in the remove the dead mice. i hate mice. mice control was always Steves job.

NorthernLurker · 11/03/2008 23:40

How are you with spiders? I'm rubbish but I've got this cool thing from a catalogue now that traps them a good arm's length away from you. Don't think they do a mice size one though......

And don't you ever go saying you're not brave - you have courage in buckets full! You just don't like mice.

onlyjoking9329 · 11/03/2008 23:50

i am fine with spiders and frogs and
MIL's other stuff it's just mice that scare me and rats too, i don't scare easily i have three kids

NorthernLurker · 11/03/2008 23:53

Oh rats are horrid! Big scuttling things - ugh. I'm off to bed now - hope you get a good night

onlyjoking9329 · 12/03/2008 02:33

mice are bad enough I really don't want to see a rat. I am hoping to sleep sometime soon but finding it hard after 18 years of sharing the bed with steve it still doesnt feel right to be here on my own, I know that I won't ever share my bed again. I feel bad for all the times I have complained about his snores keeping me awake I would love to be sat listening to him snoring right now, I miss him.

Morning to see your early hours thread but completely understand, it must be awful for you.

Sending you hugs on this windy day (not me personally, you understand !)

Blinds still being fitted tomoz ?

yorkiemom · 12/03/2008 07:37

I'm so glad the consultant has spoken to your mil, she can now see just what you ahve to deal with.
Fingers crossed for good news on Friday.
Thinking of you , and all best wishes to you.

LilRedWG · 12/03/2008 08:34

Morning OJ! I'm glad the consultant is on the ball with Steve's mum and the funding. Put a pretty bow around the parcel to MIL

LilRedWG · 12/03/2008 08:34

LucyEllensMum - thinking back I did know that about cats! I'm off to search for a mouthless cat now.....

onlyjoking9329 · 12/03/2008 09:18

well the consultant said that steves mum doesn't really understand the situation at all so i am not sure if i can expect any change in her behaviour or attitude.
just had a phone call from the hospital OT who says steve cant have a hospital bed as he can transfer form his bed to a chair ok, well yes he can with help but that will change sometime and probably soon, i have asked her to speak to the Mac nurse if the Mac nurse agrees with her then i will accept it.

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 12/03/2008 10:50

I just wish there was something I could do.

Tickle · 12/03/2008 10:59

Can the hospice help with finding a hospital bed you can loan, from somewhere else?

bundle · 12/03/2008 11:02

i would have thought an electronic lifty-uppy from lying down bed was exactly what Steve needs..

onlyjoking9329 · 12/03/2008 13:44

I ain't going to stress too much about the hospital bed. I just assumed that. Cos the SW said Steve needed one then he would just get one. I have left it with our mac nurse she is based at the hospice.

39andcounting · 13/03/2008 14:50

Hello OJ, how are you? you got the blind men there today ? How are things going ?

captainmummy · 13/03/2008 16:13

they found the place ok? Being the blind men?

39andcounting · 13/03/2008 16:16

Well done captainmummy, you found the deliberate mistake, thought it was funny use of words !! Sorry no prize for your observation skills tho. sorry

onlyjoking9329 · 13/03/2008 21:50

well you know how things always go to plan here at Oj household i have half the blinds fitted the other ones were the wrong size

39andcounting · 13/03/2008 21:55

Oh bloody hell and after all the hoo ha with the original bloke and all. Hope they plan to sort it for you pretty damn quick and a further refund, that is ridiculous.

You been to see Steve today ?

onlyjoking9329 · 13/03/2008 22:02

it is a bit of a mess but i should have expected it really.
been to see steve, he is much the same still struggling with his right side, he had a massage today.
his brother has been in to see the consultant, so i will find out how that went tomorrow

bundle · 13/03/2008 22:03

39andcounting · 13/03/2008 22:05
