June 07 - hankering after a quieter, more peaceful time

[daisyandbabybootoo]

I think all that talk of superheroes made us all a bit feisty

i'm back, Dh knicked the pooter off me but i've got it again now
right what can i remember.......
i've got one of those V shaped pillows for feeding - love it.
T'is ME who lives near tunnocks factory >>
Daisy -i like your entrepreneurial ideas - get yourself on Dragons Den!!
Tallulah - ignore the stoopid waxy chick, she was clearly a moron!
Oh fark i forgot the rest.....blardy baby brain!
sealife centre was good - went to ceramic experience as well and LO's painted a pottery thingy.

Evening all, does anyone watch New Tricks? I don't quite get the attraction

Hey Daisy, how're things? Nan and Pa still here. I have to say that it has been great. DS3 ill last week and i don't know what we would have done without them. We had a rush trip into a&e as had rash, vomiting and temp (cue meningitis) BUT ALL WAS FINE - thank god. How's mrr & babyboo?

Ellsbels - am in Glasgow so don't think same culprit! Doesn't boost self esteem much tho.

Flip annobal, what a relief x
i've tried that new tricks prog as well - wasn't impressed, not watched it again since.

Shit, just had to remove a scorpion from DD's room

Delor you have had a nice day then...can we trade lives ; ha ha

nightmare Sputnik, i was then remembered where you live! (muppet emoticon)

LOL at THAT site Daisy. I managed to open it while my mum was looking over my shoulder

Aahhhhh Els - if only EVERY day was like today !!!

babyboo is a poppet. she laughs her way through the day and is developing a really playful personality. MRR, not such a poppet. He had a 20 minute hissy fit earlier about going to his swimming lesson (he had a near drowning experience last week ). Needless to say I didn't force him.

Maybe I should look to designing the perfect all-in-one nappy......not sure yon ballantyne chappy would be impressed with nappies though.

does anyone watch Street Doctors? They were in Edinburgh tonight and I was feeling very very homesick. and does anyone else think Dr Jonty is a bit sexy?

Shit Sputnik - well done! I think I would be having a little fit by now.

I had a sip of water in the dark last night and got a mouthful of something that moving in my mouth. I am trying not to think about it

try moved

Hi Derlor. Is it common practice for HV clinic not to be covered when HV on hols? DD was about to miss 2nd jags cos HV on hols, had to make special appt at diff clinic for them as I need them done on time cos of going O/S. Have now changed GP & hence HV. Explained when signed up at new practice the importance of having jags on time etc. Have appt for 3rd jags on Thurs just in time for going - stressed this when made appt. Got home tonight to msg on machine - new H/V on hols, appt cancelled, call to make another next week - when we will be in Australia. AAAAARRRRSSSSEEE. Will it be a prob if she has to wait till we come home - she will be over 6 months old by then? Can/Will GP give them instead?

Sorry - bit of a long one.

Tallulah - you are r so right. Does not boost esteem at all. Maybe ask her how far along she is next time?

Tallulah adn Derlor, while you are both in the one place. I'll be in fife from 22nd to 29th December....fancy a meet-up in Glasgow? (family commitments allowing.....i realise it's a crazy time of year) MHC is up for it as well, and if Twiga is lurking???

Tallulah - take your red book and have the imms in oz. They should have imms in each council each week - just check with your local council or drs surgery. It shouldn't cost.

Have decided to have 2nd imms postponed for DS3 as the last lot gave him such a bad reaction - he'll be 16 weeks by the time he has 2nd lot...

sputnik...you want to get some barbecue tongs, then you can grab them just below the sting, but keep them at arms length!

obviously we get a lot of scorpions in Leeds

Sounds good Daisy but we only just get back around then so would depend on jetlag, settling back in & giving GPs their fix of DD after 2 months absence. Oh & bloody Xmas too. But if I can make it, I will.

Sputnik you're a brave woman. I can't stand creepy crawlies. UGH

Night all

nightmare Tallulah, depends on the size of the practice, is there only 1 HV? Where i work there are 12 of us that cover the whole area so clinics are ALWAYS covered (or the boss goes cataclismic with you) GP could certainly give them, but may choose not to cause they can be arsey, Practice nurse may also be worth a try. Explain Oz situation and ask if you could come in early (outwith actual immunisation clinic) to see HV before her hols if this is possible.
Jags NEED to be a MIMIMUM of 4 weeks apart so if you have time then try to get them somehow before you go.

tallulah, the sure start centres here have well baby clinics, and anyone can take their bub there for immunisations. Can you find out when they have their clinic. A friend of mine used to take her DC to surestart rather than her GP as they did an evening clinic and she worked.

oh yes i'll come to meet up

Right, have been grumped at by DH for suggesting he go to bed (fallen asleep on couch - cue 'why don't you shutup') and REALLY don't get the attraction of New Tricks so am going to take myself off to bed and sulk like terry teenager.

Nite all

Only one HV Derlor. Made this appt couple weeks ago & told them then about travel plans. Sounds like HV may be away already. Why wait till almost 6pm Mon to cancel my Thurs appt? We leave a week today. They were closed when I called tonight so will try tomorrow but not much leeway to get them done this week. Will google surestart, see if something nearby. Thanks Daisy.

night annobal (enjoy your sulk )
