StealthPolarBear · 09/07/2010 13:05

starshaker · 09/07/2010 13:08

No will just turn up with him. Noticed when doing litter tray there is blood in his poo. Was quick cos there is a mountain of washing on the kitchen floor and it was just the sink and loo that needed done in my bathroom (clean shower while im still in it lol)

While you're packing your bags, change the beds. When you're fed up, go to the vets

starshaker · 09/07/2010 13:27

IN my defence we are having new windows fitted and the whole house is upside down. In the words of Mr Maker when your cleaning time is over, mine will just be beginning

Can you build cots tonight when dd in bed?

starshaker · 09/07/2010 14:34

starshaker · 09/07/2010 17:08

well turns out there isnt actually room for a cot in my room so think it will need to be moses baskets

OP posts:
StealthPolarBear · 09/07/2010 17:36

oh dear
will they both fit in there?

starshaker · 09/07/2010 18:03

yeah should be fine then when im more able and they have outgrown the moses baskets the cos could go right next to my bed. The problem with doing that at the very start is i wouldnt be able to climb into my bed at the bottom or move the cot out the way but after ive recovered a bit it should be doable
