Sophia it's called pint-sized rants. It's just a load of ramblings really. Nothing special but people seem to like reading it. I didn't write much end of last year and early this year, but am trying to get back into it now.

That is shit Sophia I hate the way anti depressants, like anti cholestorol meds are just thrown at people as a catch all solution. They can be great meds, and save lives, but seen as a quick fix by lazy or overworked gps

When I did a stint in general practice, the waiting list for counselling (better than meds for mild-moderate depression) was 8 months. I used to say to patients that either they would have got better themselves or using online CBT tools, or be so bad as to be at a point where they needed meds. Unfortunately the mental health services are seriously lacking shit

That said, there is no excuse for not listening to your patient, eg. sophia

When I was 19 and a student nurse, I had a horrendous stomach bug that affected the exit only. I was on the student transport bus and I felt a rumbling. I was the first off, but unfortunately the white uniform, tights and shoes were very unforgiving.

pass I very nearly put that I have a girl crush on cat

thanks for the hug and wine... the clothes are free but soaking wet despite being on dry cycle! clothes on radiators helps that they are tiny I think!
its strange I have been wanting for a long while to have a career change and become a counsellor thought it could be good experience to go on mn and give advice... but its been more like the other way around. about 15% of my colleagues have been off with depression in my work place over the past year some of their stories about waiting for counselling are horrendous but drugs are offered freely!

With depression I think they just give you a book now. When my brother was admitted (actively suicidal) he was on a constant watch. The ward was full, so knowing I was a RMN they sent him home to me in a taxi at 11pm. I am often ashamed of Mental Health Care services in this country. I, of course, am utterly fabulous.

I'm about to throw this laptop out the window. It isn't the laptops fault. Poor laptop. No, its YOU KNOBBERS AT VIRGIN MEDIA. Gaaaaaaaaaah.

Do they not know this thing is my lifeline!!

I want my internet back!

It's hard enough to keep up with out relying on 3G. :(

VQ how mortifying.

I have bad bladder control and can wet myself in moments of hysteria. Very embarrassing!

sophia DD has a small lump on her head. I mentioned it to the GP once when I was there for something else. The doctor wasn't concerned, but I'll keep an eye on it. Might be worth getting it checked?

I think I'd like to blog, but can't imagine anyone would want to read me twittering on. Might go and have a look at PR's.

I seem to have my happy boy back. No screaming in pain, happy to be awake, back to normal almost with day sleeps. Perhaps it was the tail end of the virus as we have all had sore tummies, or the caffeine as I was knocking it back somewhat, but it was just cheap instant crap. I think it builds up in babies though. See, I have to blame myself for everything

I am not so shattered tonight, not dreading tonight, so just waiting for the third yawn and we will be going to bed. Bit of eye rubbing... Yes, yawn! Goodnight peeps. See you in two hours

oh my vq I have ibs (irritable bladder aswell as bowel) always been afraid of something like that happening ... think I know where almost every toilet is though and its the first thing I look for when I arrive anywhere!! Apparently with ibs there is a card you can get that allows priority to loos - get out of jail free card but don't know how to get it and showing it to be people would be no different than going up to everyone and explaining the whole thing in the first place!
think I need to laugh about the weeing myself thing ... dh is starting to make jokes - its how we relate about things just wish I had felt it happen at least else I could just be walking around covered in wee all day.
must ensure I do those pelvic floor exercises ... I must I must improve my pelvic floor etc!

Sophia I have a two week cold too.

LO on third settling of night. No idea why. He's not done this for 5 weeks...:(

I'm watching call the midwife. There is a baby with spina bifada, So sad. I'm grateful that all our babies are without disability.

Evil

sophia p has a lump on the back of her head about pea sized. I got the doc to check and she said it is a gland. I have one on the side of my neck

Went round to see my cousin and his family today for Sunday lunch today - they had the same issues with reflux with their DD so made everything including a Victoria sponge cake - dairy and soy free. So fab

I'm not a fan of milk either in terms of drinking it - but by god its hard to avoid when you have to - its everywhere and its the simple things cheese, chocolate and a cuppa I miss. Drinking another animal's breast milk probably isn't v good for us as has been pointed out - when I lived in HK was amused by how gross the Cantonese find the whole concept.

The horsemeat scandal has really made me worry about food labelling when it comes to avoiding dairy etc for DS - we clearly can't trust big corporates to care what the hell they feed us - no chance DS is having follow on milk - its going to be BM and 'real' foods during weaning here. Haha famous last words......

Cat I too have a lady crush on you. What an inspiration to your kids

I was at deva two years ago purple, i got pulled up on stage dressed in rockabilly fancy dress and won the dancing competition. I was very drunk

Lovely day :) ds an absolute superstar!!! Held by so so so many people and just took it all in his stride!!!!

Not giving gaviscon tonight though, his feedings a bit off and he's getting belly ache. So think if I give it at a couple of feeds it shouldn't impact as much.

Hopefully.....

Dh being odd though. Not sure what his problem is.....

You realise we have probably scared cat away now.

9.15 asleep with no tears or fight. Too good to be true???

just flipped back a few posts pig I won a bumbo on eBay yesterday 5th attempt! wonder how many of us have been bidding against each other!?

Haha zcos I was fervently pressing refresh on my old and cheap phone whilst feeding LO upstairs at our friends. Dead chuffed we've won one, she went in one at baby group and blummin loved it!

What is the facebook group called please?

I'm another one who is peeing themselves.

Still waiting for fucking physio.

I'm very :( and that 11 weeks down the line I've got no health care despite the fact I've said 'helloooo, I don't have the sensation of needing to wee'. I was going to mention this on here the other day. But when I think about weeing, I wee. Whether I'm on rhe toilet or not.

My urethral opening hurts right at the end of a wee, as you draw the sphincter closed. As if it's been damaged.

I need help :( I've had absolutely no improvement in 11 weeks despite doing pelvic floors.

So, pissy ladies, you ain't alone!

I must go kick some ass without piasing myself in the process tomorrow coz it just isn't good enough!

And to make matters worse, I bled from my epis site this morning.

det and

Sophia S has one of those lumps as well, hers moves though, HV had a feel and said nothing to worry about but get GP to have a look, so that makes me think it is something to worry about!
