Shattered I'm so sorry
- wasn't meaning to generalise about everyone, just having a wail about the fact I have not yet managed to find a decent GP. I truly haven't. I'd love to, I know there are good ones out there. I've just been unlucky I guess. If you have a good one, that's great, but don't get mad at those of us who haven't for saying we haven't. If I had a lovely knowledgable, helpful one, and hadn't spent years trying to get things diagnosed, I'd probably be arguing on your side of the fence. It's really sh*t being told you're neurotic every time you are unwell. You start to believe it, and stop going to the doctor because you think you must be imagining things.
PS I'm tax accountant by trade, which I think if memory serves me correctly make me both grey and boring and universally disliked 
Yummy the well woman check is basically a woman's MOT. They talk through any issues you have and investigate those specifically, as well as general bloods, smear, BP, weight, discussion about diet and exercise. I'd recommend it for anyone who has a niggling problem that they haven't been able to get to the bottom of. The £££ option include a complete body scan, but that's a little OTT.
Wotta we're spoon feeding here too, is that bad? I was going to do the whole blw thing until I realised I had a child that didn't want to wean, and ever since then have just gone with what works. I'm fairly sure what works isn't what's recommended. I make a fish pie that is high calorie that she love. Saute a tiny bit of leek in butter, add cubed potatoes, simmer with a drop of water and milk until soft, stir in cubed salmon, frozen peas, some cooked finely chopped spinach, and a little grated cheese. Very rich, a little goes a long way.
Just had the ILs down for the weekend which was both lovely, and exhausting. FIL has a video camera. It never leaves his hand. The toddle has a dislike of being hassled when she is eating, so doesn't when the camera is about. Result, we were up for 4 hours last night with a very sad little person who was hungry, thirsty, and over tired. Next visit the camera dies..... 
Have good days all, and please forget all worms I have inadvertently unleashed through my unwarranted rants.
PS I have a girlie girl - 100% nature not nurture. I was a tom boy. The greatest upset of my toddlehood was the receipt of a tiny tears doll for xmas. I tried so hard to be pleased, but was gutted. Dolitoddle on the other hand loves soft toys, dressing up, cuddles, sparkles, pink, pretty things and all things stereotypical girl. That said she also loves mechanical objects, so perhaps we're looking at the next lipstick wearing car mechanic. A second Kylie perhaps? (that's one for the oldies)
