Cat has broken leg

Enforced change of bedsheets as he left blood on ours and the spare bed yesterday

DD1 at pre-school now and DD2 seems a bit improved so need to try and sort out the pit we are living in.

dylsmum1998 · 21/05/2008 10:35

yay some good news- i had a shocking gas bill for my teeny tiny flat, qhich when i phoned to query it was told it was estimated on an average 3 bed house as they hadnt been able to get in a nd read the meter. so i read it myself sent them the reading and have just received a bil less than half what the original one was!so much happier with that. will pay it now
must remember to read my meters a few weeks before bill is due in future!

grouchyoscar · 21/05/2008 10:41

Morning you loverley lot

FGS Thanks for the thread. Hope mog is on the mend. And thanks for the thread about letter formation, it's just what I've been searching for

Had a meeting with Ed's teacher about his progress. It all seemed pretty positive which was reassuring. Seems he has balance problems (like mum, like son ) and is a bit vocal about his requirements but, hey, he's 4

Done the morning routines just emptied DW and put away. Pegged out washing before breakfast, got Ed's school shorts dry, meeting and home.

I'm confining myself to the house today and doing very little. The fatigue is improving but it's still there so
Boris can have today and tomorrow I get Friday. We're in Manchester on Friday night, friend over from New York who we haven't seem for over a year. Plus it's my birthday.

I was doing well
Then the school phoned and said ds was ill with stomach ache

He moaned and groaned all the way home

Then announced he felt better and could he go back to school

DD has now said she feels unwell and they are sat drawing pictures and watching Spongebob Squarepants

Hi all.

Lots of poorly tummies today? Hope all soon feel better. And FGS cat.

dylsmum Poor you re shower. You did right to get cross. Good news about the gas bill though. Our Elec was huge. DH has told me to stop using tumble drier (only I can't get stuff dry, so only use it when he's out LOL).

Crazy day yesterday so no flying.

Today, park after school, homework and hoover.
Tomorrow LIDL.

dylsmum1998 · 21/05/2008 12:28

wash up done
s&s bathroom
hoover done but needs doing again
tidy done but needs doing again
dust done
load washerdone
strip beds done
ironing done
sort dry washingdone
start packing for going away

i have written a list of what i need to take away with us, just need to stop thinking and get on with it.

dd has had loads of accidents today, not like her at all. she just standing there and weeing. normally if she needs a wee she stands jumping about with her hand between her legs shouting for a wee ( in bella from tweenie style!)

ruby where are you decorating i'm sure you've mentioned but i cant remember

saga children!! little monsters

tortoise · 21/05/2008 13:11

Hello.
I am in a lot of pain and have been most of the night,Back to the dentists at 4.50 to hopefully get it sorted. Need to find someone to have dc for me.

If given the choice would you go for major filling/root canal or extraction?

forgot to add, caught the little critter that was pooping round my house!Looks like a vole. Not a mouse! Poor thing was dead before i had a chance to release it though.

tortoise · 21/05/2008 13:20

Actually have googled and think it is a shrew

tortoise · 21/05/2008 13:21

lol RR. No teeth, no pain!

Ludaloo · 21/05/2008 13:33

tort I think I'd go for extraction and be done.....who's to say it won't still give you gip even after the root canal/filling has been done (I have one that needs to come out)

Well inbetween going to the loo I have managed to clean and sort the spare room out ready for my SIL who is comming to stay on Friday. I've done a couple of loads of washing and made progress on tidying upstairs.
Still lots to do though [sigh]

tortoise · 21/05/2008 13:36

Luda Thats what i was thinking, had trouble with this tooth/two teeth for a long time.

gem1981 · 21/05/2008 13:37

tort I go to the dentist A LOT as i have very weak teeth I have a had root canal done and it was fine.

I had to have it done as I had a really big filling and this evetually weakened the tooth after a few years, so the root canal came next.

I would say go for the filling if your dentist thinks the tooth can stand the large filling if not then take the root canal route.

however if the tooth is right at the back and out of sight might be best to wip it out of you think you are going to keep having probs with it.

Good luck!!

still not mopped - feeling very lazy and knackered... oh and FAT, pregnancy eh!!!!

Ludaloo · 21/05/2008 13:38

tort Awwww glad you caught the culprit. I expect it was a srew....they don't take kindly to being caught. Mice and voles generally stay alive, but shrews can't cope with the stress. (plus they have to eat/drink pretty much constantly)

We used to use humane traps to capture mice/voles etc, to show school children what they look like (when I worked....many moons ago!)

tortoise · 21/05/2008 13:45

Thanks Gem,It is a back tooth, dentist did mention yesterday about possibly removing if too bad. He said it is quite decayed.

Luda Very it died. So very cute. Kept it to show DS's tonight. Where would it find enough water in a house if needs it a lot? Do they eat spiders and bugs? Haven't had many spiders lately! Putting trap out again incase more than one!

grouchyoscar · 21/05/2008 13:46

Done exactly nothing this morning
