Hi everyone. Well, all quiet here now. Sister went to daughters yesterday just before lunch time, friend dropped C off for me, and ended up staying the night. Huge moan again, firstly she went out for few hours, boys were good, finally went to bed, but this morning boys were arguing, my bed had been wet, so I've had to wash the mattress down. I was horrified to be honest, just not something I'm used too, and it wasn't even C or I!!!! Lots of washing has now been done. Am really looking forward to C coming home, and just the two of us tonight. Well, apart from the hamster that is. Seriously hoping still that C will not be able to touch it, as he has to clean the cage later, and then my phobia and stress will leave me, once this 'thing' has gone!!! I'm still sore, but am planning a relaxing weekend, ready for work on Monday.
Hope everyone is okay. Fingers crossed for your son and Asda Louise. A second interview sounds promising.
Hamster will be fine.
Sorry things are still awful hazeleyes. Loads and loads of hugs.
Just come in from seeing Aunty and popping into work. Out again in a mo to take scout accounts to the teasurer.
Younger two having a haircut after school.
Have booked a day off on Monday to wait for washing machine repair man. 7am - 7pm slot!!!
Bout time you got the washing machine done Sparkling 
Actually feeling less stressed today than I have all week. Think it's because I'm on my own, and do feel more relaxed. Now looking forward to snuggling in bed early too.
I think it could be because you've had a quiet day. I'm so glad you feel more relaxed and hope you can have a quiet weekend.

No joy at the dentist again! Laughing gas didnt work (wonder if its coz I had so much during my labour lol) only got as far as a polish before the dentist felt she was too distressed. I asked for a referral to the dental hospital but dentist says we have to do another attempt with the laughing gas before they refer her. Total waste of time. Really hoping if they put her to sleep it wont be as traumatic as your experience Sally.
Hi I'm just wondering if anyone knows how long it normally takes for replies to come through from the 1-2-1 professional advice enquiries
Hello one and all
Zippy which expert did you email? It can be up to 5 working days, I am happy to chase it up for you if that time has already elapsed.Hope you are ok, it is nice to see you 
LRH I wonder what we could do to help?
Sparkling, grrr washing machine on the blink. Hope the haircuts were trouble free.
Littleangel, how very upsetting for you and your daughter. As parents we are told not to stress our children out about dentists but how could she NOT be stressed after that? My friend's son had to be given a general anaesthetic in the end and shouted to his dad "I hate you, I hate you!" as it was administered. Awful, but I hope this, and Sally's story will let you know you are not alone.
Hazeleyes, good to hear from you, Oh how horrid about the wet bed! YUK! not what you needed.Glad you got some peace and quiet.
My son's interview been cancelled as they want someone over 18. He was really fed up. I have been on an Indian Head Massage course; I wasn't very good at it but will have to practice on my friends.It was a long drive to get there so am feeling shattered tonight, will be watching "Benidorm" heh heh
Hi Louise, I messaged the CSA, Money and the Legal expert on about 21/22 of Feb. The Money expert replied but the others haven't. The Money expert said she would forward my message to the legal advisor but haven't heard a thing. If you could chase it up it would be great
Ok I will email Anna about it, the Money expert would have forwarded it to the legal expert on the day they sent you your reply (as they would have let the Legal Expert know what they had already said to you) Anna will be back in on Monday, zippy.
How is everyone today?
Had a scouty meeting this morning in a premiere in restaurant not far from where 16 year old goes to college- handy. Timed it well to pick him up...
Youngest has gone for a sleepover with his friends who's recovering from cancer. Better prepared this time, knowing the lad goes to bed early...
A start has been made on tidying while I was out. Or at least the dog's cage is nice and tidy with various shredded tennis balls and chewed plastic bottles in the bin or recycling.
Hazeleyes, hope hamster is settling down well 
We might go and get yet another replacement now we have safety hammocks to stop death falls from the top of the cage. Humour aside, I do hope you're getting used to him. If he's in C's room during the day, you don't need to see him...
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Hi all. My night didn't go as planned. Friend came over, so me up and down again! Sparkling, close your eyes please!!! Sniffles the hamster has found a new home Horrahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. C cleaned out the cage after school, and it took him nearly 2 hours. (hard work for a nine year old). Told him that he hadn't finished as he then would have to hoover through, because of the bedding. The hamster did a whoopsee in the ball, much to C's disgust, he also got some of the bedding in his mouth, and have to say I did play on that one a bit, saying the hamster had weed and whatnot on it. Anyhow, good news is that C saw what an awful lot of work went into looking after a pet, so it's gone to a good home, down the road, and C can visit when he wants (he won't want too).
Thanks Louise
Hi sparkling, you got some jobs going in your house, hooray.
Zippy I have sent the email.
Hazeleyes, phew! I would have felt the same. My friend's daughter has been wittering for a dog and everyone kept saying she was mean for not letting her have one. The daughter is almost 18 and so will be leaving home pretty soon, and friend would have been left with the dog for a number of years.....so they "borrowed" a friend's dog for the day and friend made her daughter look after it......she decided to stop wittering after that 
And the question of the day is.......Can I bring myself to watch "Take Me Out" on the TV tonight??
**gasp**
**shock**
**horror**
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be honest h, I'm surprised it was there that long....
I don't mind "Take me Out" really, you can have a bit of a laugh in it...
I am having a giggle at your animal stories! In my house we have Sylvester the cat (he looks like him), Yoshi and Takeshi the yellow bellied gliders (turtles), Sally the snake and I don't know its name the madagascan hissing cockroach (hisses if you poke it). I was not asked about the latter and there were two to start with; No1 son did something with them for his film studies and thought No2 son would like them (No1 son was right, and he knew I'd say no if he'd ask me first).
We have had fish in the past, but noone wanted to clean out the tank. Now they have to look after the pets themselves or I will find good homes... :-p x
I love hearing about other peoples' animals, I just don't want any of my own
How are you this morning, Hopeful?
Sparkling, my son made a guest appearance for his tea and said "what a pity I am going out again and then straight to work tomorrow, I like watching Take Me Out with you, Mum". I had never thought of it as a bonding activity!!!!
Hazeleyes I hope you are having a more peaceful time
morning everyone - i am feeling a bit more positive today - little steps were your words of advice i knowthanks to all my friends on here who make my life a little more bearable - see my latest news on "its only been a week" thread - have a good day everyone - i certainly will be trying tosending positive vibes to those who need it - share and share alike i say
Hi all. It's Sunday, so in this household a stressful day! I had to go to GP yesterday to pick up a certificate for work. Had to pay (as the first week is a private one). Anyhow, the Dr did apologise for this, explaining that it's a deterrent for those that want to wag a week, but she said if I didn't return to work on Monday, just ring the surgery and she'd do me a NHS one for the number of days I might be off.
This morning I have stood and ironed (nearly) everything, as nothing has been done in that department for 2 weeks. Have re-made my bed, sorted a dressing up thing for C, he is going as BFG (think it's Friday), so I had to cut up some of my old trousers, which were beige, shape it like a waistcoat, and sewn it on a white shirt of his. Dinner is in the oven, nearly done. I'm absolutely wrecked, sore, and still I won't be able to sit down for at least a few hours, so I'm here moaning, moaning, moaning. I do feel totally let down this past week, and I've listened to my sister complaining she has a cold!!!! Don't know if I can face a whole day at school tomorrow, but feel I've had enough time off, so.......
Anyhow, hope everyone is well. Shall try and peek at other threads in a bit.
Sparkling, I'm also surprised that the hamster lasted that long with me. C hasn't even mentioned it this morning (good sign). I can still smell it in here, though I'm sure it's my imagination. The first night we had it, I'd seen it gnawing on the metal, climbing (turned my stomach at this point), and I had visions of it opening the top of the cage, so I placed one of C's heavy books on the top, thinking, 'you little bu****, now you won't escape'. Nothing cute about these things let me tell you all now. 
Hope you're okay lrh. It's great having friends online isn't it? Take care
Yes, LRH it really is baby steps, as sparkling always says, and she is right. Sometimes they are backward ones as well, and that's fine, we always start to go forward again soon
Hazeleyes, all that flipping ironing! Thank heavens it is done. You will just have to see how you feel in the morning. People have no idea how sore you are,so take it steady. Does a cushion help, or a ring thing to sit on? The hamster smell will be psychological but I know what you mean, once you can get the windows open and give the flat a good blow-through you will feel better. As for me, I am ignoring the pots and leaving them for my little Mister, my eczema has been a lot better since he took over this chore heh heh.
By the way, everyone, my day off has moved to Monday as Anna is on a course on Tuesdays for a few months so will not be here on Tuesdays, so we have swapped and she and Sally will be here on Mondays
Have a nice day off Louise. I'm sure the eczema is a lot better now
I'm able to sit and stuff Louise, but still sore when walking etc. Decided I'll get up and prepare myself for school tomorrow, walk down with C, and take it from there. I haven't walked that distance since the op, so that'll be a good indication. I'm just so ruddy tired, that is also adding to my moaning, hehe. Flat is now all tidied, back to normal for me and how I like it. C has had his bath, and have done his hair. He is now doing science project, due in on Wednesday, and he hasn't bothered with any of it, despite me keeping on at him. So, today, he's on his own, no help from me. Thought he'd be asking me all day, but he's got on with it. Something to do with density. Solar system went out of the window!! He's happy, so I'm happy, just having a sit down before i soak in a bath, then everything is done for the rest of the evening.
don't overdo it hazeleyes
morning everyone - hope you have a good day off Louise - hope you are ok this morning hazeleyes - you are doing too much you know so try and put yourself first wishing everyone a happy Monday
We were at the in-laws for tea yesterday. Mother-in-Law is so tired as is now doing everything. FiL on oxygen 20 hours a day, and is now very, very frail. He enjoyed seeing the children though.
MiL asked daughter what she had from her Dad. She called him a swine!! Daughter said it didn't matter as her Mum loved her...
MiL and I having a very frank discussion about the future now, and she didn't half giggle when she said that The Git will have such a shock when the will is read, as his Dad has no money - he's done lots of work to the house. She's also curious as to whether or not she can get the will changed at some point, as the house is left to her, then to The Git. She'd like to see my late BiL's share, at least, go to the children.
She's also very realistic in knowing that she could drop down at any point too...
Such a strange thing.
We're going to go every other week now, rather than weekly as it is too much. I know I can call when ever, which is good. She also knows that a drink of water for the children is fine and she doesn't need to cook them tea. This upsets her as we've been going there since before the third was born each week. Seeing eldest is now 20, I think its been a good run.
Her very good friend has now been diagnosed with breast cancer. Such an upset for her.
I have a day off today for the washing machine repair man. But have had a call to say the part's broken. I'm not going in though, as there's very little paper work at the moment. I'll do my essay instead.
I'm glad you saw the GP hazeleyes. Well done on clearing the ironing. xxx
Good morning all. Lrh, think you're right, I have been doing too much, so for today, I decided on a 'me day'. In other words, until C comes home from school, I'm doing nothing! This will actually be the first day since last Monday, so I think I'm owed don't you? Hope you're okay today.
Sparkling, I had to laugh over the will thing, I would also love to see the Git's face (and I don't even know him, hehe). Hopefully your FIL will get some relief with the oxygen. I know my Mum was on it for a few years. She of course couldn't do much, but it did help her in a way.
As you can probably tell, didn't go to work today Firstly, I was so indecisive, in the end decided if I was that indecisive, then that was telling me something. Secondly, if I had gone in, then it would be thought that I was fine, and thirdly, uhmmmm, haven't got a third
Happy Monday one and all!
littleredhen, how are you today? I hope it goes as well as yesterday
sparklinglime, it is so good that you are able to talk with your MiL about Wills etc, it is nice to know that your children are being kept in the loop of any money that will be left.
You have been a fantastic daughter in law and they sure seem to recognise and appreciate that. good luck with your essay today.
hazeleyes, very good plan of yours to stay at home, also re-homing the hamster (thank goodness!).
I think it is a really good idea that you have taken the day off, because you do need to look after yourself. My motto is 'Don't know means No' and if I stick by that, then I find that if I want the answer to be 'Yes' I soon know about it!
So your third reason for taking today off is "Because your worth it!"
I knew deep down there was a third one Anna 
Hope you and your daughter are okay. x
Third one is excellent.
Children have no idea of the in-law's Will. Just MiL would like to see them in it and not just The Git.
She knows full well he'll bee looking at paying off things when his Dad dies, and will have the house re-mortgaged the second he can... **meow** Well, he did quite well out of my inheritance.
Hope you're relaxing hazeleyes.
Have certainly relaxed Sparkling
My neighbour rang earlier. Conversation went like this, (her) Don't go back to work this week, just have complete rest' (me) I'll see, as I'm burning a bit, but I'm resting today' (her) NO, don't go in....... If you go to the Post Office for me, could you pick up some baby wipes, hair net and also get me some bread' 
Uurrgghh, didn't she just tell me to rest
When C went off to school this morning, one of the Mums picked him up again, I thought he looked, not upset, but a bit sad. We have a thing between us, he doesn't like me kissing him goodbye when he goes into school, or saying that I love him (it's embarrassing Mum), so we squeeze hands, or shout out, 'squeezing your hand'. This morning he kept saying outside, in front of the Mum, 'squeezing your hand', then once in the car, he put his hand up and was squeezing it. (You see, he does love me, hehe). Anyhow, when he got in today, he said he was missing me taking him to school, that it wasn't the same. I guess it's been a long time for him. Bless 
Hope you've all had a good day. At this moment in time, I'm going back to work tomorrow. Was told Ofsted will be there on Wednesday and Thursday, so it's going to stressful for all staff (I'm not bothered). Feeling a bit low, have been since yesterday really. Not sure why, maybe worrying about the tiredness of going back to normal. Tomorrow, I will have to do some shopping when i've finished work, so it's back to routine of work til 12, shops, home to unpack, back to pick C up. I'm shattered thinking about it. See how it goes anyway. Am off to bed. x
xxxxxx
Good morning one and all
How are you all? it sounded like a good idea to have a rest, Hazeleyes. At least today is "just" a half day and you have got everything up to date at home so can put your feet up for an hour before the school run again.
Hi sparkling, have you chatted with the children about the fact that FiL is failing so fast? I just think a bit of preparatory chatting might help fiuther down the line. The will...it depends whether the inlaws made mirror wills that cannot change the eventual recipient of the property. If not, she can just make her own will leaving what she wants to whom she wants.
Hello LRH hope you are feeling a bit easier this morning.
Yesterday was a nice day off, posh coffee with a friend then went to get a mirror for bedroom (bought it from ebay and had to collect it from depot), had appointments in the afternoon and then went out again in the evening! Son has fallen out with The Girlfriend so I spent some time with him talking through what had happened (all very silly, I do hope they sort it out, he is cross rather than upset) Spoke to eldest on the phone, he said there are 50 days to go of Uni, eek.
Hope you will all have a good day
How lovely having a posh coffeee! I had a posh hot chocolate on Saturday...
I have been talking to the children Louise. Very hard for them, but they could see Grandad struggling on Sunday.
Wow, only 50 days to go!! I'm sorry that your son's fallen out with girlfriend.
I thought you would probably have done som sparkling, you wise woman, you
Hope the morning at work wasn't too bad, Hazeleyes
I have been signed off for the week. Doctor said she didn't think I'd be ready for this week! Clever woman huh? Anyhow, C was picked up this morning. I did get ready and everything, and by 8.10 I knew I wasn't going in. C then said he'd have a lift. I did get a cab to the school to pick him up. He was delighted to see me there, and I got a lovely lovely hug (not heard of from C with his friends around). It brought a lump to my throat. Anyhow, had a very slow walk home, and even that has totally whacked me, so if I had of gone in today, lord knows how I would have managed. Doctor said the effect of the GA can have an effect of being weepy and tired. As for the bits, stinging and still discomfort, it's all perfectedly natural, even though I thought I would be 100% by now. Oh well.
Posh coffee sounds nice Louise. Glad you had a good day off.
Hello to everyone (am waving to you all)
I'm waving back... xxxxxxxxxxxx
Glad you are taking it steady Hazeleyes, it will be extra hectic with the Ofsted so you are well out of it! I have read that it takes a GA a week to get out of your system properly but my experience is that it takes even longer, I made a silly mistake on a form I filled in just because my brain felt woolly.
Just had text to say my son is meeting with girlfriend, so we shall see what happens next...
Awww, hope he's okay Louise.
Sparkling, my arm is starting to fall off, as waving like crazy!
Am off to bed in minute. Didn't even have the energy to do dinner, so ordered a pizza (didn't enjoy it), and, wait for it Louise....... have even told C he doesn't need a bath tonight!!! Goodnight one and all.
**thud** (I fainted)
I remember how I was after having GA for C section with daughter. Would wake up and cot was by hospital bed, then look again and it was gone, then back, then gone...
I'm glad you got a taxi too.
I hope the meeting with son and girlfriend goes well Louise.
Trying to find son's statement for interview at college tomorrow. Can I find the bally thing?? Was only looking at it the other day.
Good morning. Sparkling, where's your filing system?? You know I have one hehe. (in drawers, on the computer table, my system works well)!!
How did your youngest get on Louise? Hope they've sorted it out.
Nice and tucked up last night, when a TA rang me about 9pm. She was wanting to talk about her bad week at school. She works in the year below me, and said she had been given books to take home to mark, not one lot though, but three subjects! Her teacher simply hasn't done any of it, and is now in a panic over Ofsted. TA's have been in meetings after meetings since Monday, and I'm shocked at this, although C mentioned something similar yesterday, Teachers and TA's have been told to grill the kids on what to do and what to say. Some of what she told me last night is outrageous, and the children should all know these things anyway. Surely if the school was being run properly, then there wouldn't be this mad panic now?
When I took the certificate into school, the Head was dealing with a parent, and the secretary was showing an official looking lady some paper. Obviously all stressed. Anyhow, the Head brushed past me, so I asked if he could take the cert for me, as C would have been waiting. I didn't get an hello, how are you, up yours, nothing. He took the cert and walked into his office!!! Really makes me want to return with the warm approach I received (not)
Anyhow, I hope you all have a good day. What's everyone up too?
When I was governor at the primary school I went through two inspections. The stress is ridiculous, as the school was classed as excellent and they didn't want to lose that status. Thing is, they were never going to lose it as the Headmaster for the first was superb and left a brilliant place for the Headmistress.
All the staff were running about, so were the governors and the children.
OFSTED should "just" turn up! Ok, Head's all over the country would have kittens and teachers and TAs stomach lurching moments but none of this nonsense. Standards should always be high, not just for an inspection.
It wouldn't have been personal hazeleyes, I know what a state the Head's got into here.
Surely a TA marking books isn't right though...
Head will stay stressed for a while until he gets the return visit to go over the report.
Everything together for son (I have two drawers - but then C does have a LOT of paperwork). The state he is in this morning, anyone tries to tell me he has no issued I'll deck 'em! Poor boy. I've just been encouraging him to get closer to the shaver.
Daughter has an all day field trip today going around the island. It's like getting ready for a Scout hike, needing walking boots and spare clothes (in case they get wet!). She's looking forward to it. She had a parents' evening yesterday which was ok, to be fair!
I hope you have a lovely quiet day hazeleys.
Hope everyone is ok
Morning all x
Hope you are all well. As you are talking about primary schools I just wanted to mention something my daughter said to me this morning which I am a bit unsure about.
She is in year3 primary. She has a few issues with going in to rooms on her own (as per previous post a childrens story has scared her) and she was saying how she hates it inclass when she sneezes or blows her her nose because her class teacher makes the children go immediately to the toilet to wash their hands (the toilet is on the floor below my daughters class). I see this as fair enough but their is a sink in the class room where the children could easily wash their hands but the teacher wont let them use this sink as she told them that the germs on their hands from the sneeze etc will get on the taps so they have to go all the way down stairs to do it instead?! This just feels a but over the top to me? I wonder if the teacher has some issues with cleanliness or something? My daughter tells me that most of the children will try and disguise a sneeze or cough so that they dont have to make the trek to the toilet.
I just really dont see the problem in using the classroom sink as I am sure that is what it is there for? I know my daughters fears are irrational about going in the toilets on her own but on these occassions I dont feel it is necessary for her to. What do you guys think?
Morning everybody!
Sparkling it all sounds hectic in your house. My son goes on an outward bound thing most weeks, he is always very scornful about the fact that they are told to bring spare underwear. Anyway last week it was abseiling down a local rock-face, he said ooh I am not looking forward to the heights, I will probably p** myself, I said aha, at last a usage for the spare underwear. That made him laugh.
I totally agree about OFSTED; they should be maintaining standards anyway. I remember last winter when I was delivering one of my parenting courses, we were using the premises at a Primary school. We were told that we would not be let in the security gate to use the car park as all the spaces were used for the staff. I therefore usually arrived at 8.15, when there were hardly any cars and the staff had not even arrived to enforce the security gate and then I got a space . That week I arrived as usual, but no spaces in the car park. Oh....so the teachers had all arrived pronto had they? Went to the teaching room where I was told we all had to produce details of our CRB checks as they should not have let us on the premises without them in the first place (so why didnt they do that before we started the course? and not waited till OFSTED) Anyway luckily we all had them, although mine was at my counselling organsation but it was laughable the way the staff were all going on. Of course schools have to be monitored but there must be a better system!
Hazeleyes, you are well out of it.! I am still in deep shock from C being let off his bath, though Could you get him to have one straightaway when he gets in from school, and into jamas, that way you can draw a line under the chores a bit earlier.
Son did not appear till 9.30 last night! he had texted me saying he was OK, anyway he came in, ate his chicken curry, moaned that the poppadoms had gone hard (well yes, it is three hours since I opened the packet, my child) and said he had made it up with girlfriend. He was obviously happy as he was doing that boys' thing of whistling as he did his chores.
Hope everyone will have a good day today
So all is well on the L O V E front Louise, phew! Now I'm intrigued, did he need the spare underwear? I would have p**ing myself too
Hope the interview goes well Sparkling, and S has a fun day today.
C was telling me over breakfast that teacher had told them something, and it was a secret Of course, we don't have secrets in here, so turns out the kids have been bribed. If they do everything correctly, answer the inspector's questions truthfully (everything has been drummed into them) then they can have a fun day on Friday. What????? I've had to fill out the Ofsted form, and I've disagreed on a few of the questions. Bet the staff won't like that one, just hope they don't open mine hehe. You're right Louise, I'm best off out of it this week. The lady that has been picking C up for me in the mornings was saying it is madness in the school. She is a supply, and is working in my class today, listening to them reading. The marking of the books is awful for the TA. I'm sure though my teacher wouldn't have dreamt of asking me, he is very organised, and keeps up to date on stuff (well, most of the time), as they all should do I think.
Well....that is very interesting re what the teacher told them, Hazeleyes!!!!
No, no need for spare pants for son in the end, phew. He is exhausted from his relationship mediation work and is still in bed (no college lessons till this evening) I can't help sniggering that it will all change in the summer when he leaves college. If he has trouble getting a fulltime job I am going to to insist on a 8am shower Monday to Friday and there will be a task at home every day eg mow the lawn, wash the car, as well as daily job-seeking, he will be glad to get to work for a rest! I have seen some of my friends' young people just completely aimless and fed up, that is why I am being so strict about it. Let's face it, with jobs so hard to come by, it might take AGES for him to find work so he needs a routine in the meantime
Hi little angel, I agree with the washing hands after sneezing in principle....but it sounds illogical if the concern is that germs would get onto the classroom sink...would they not get on the sink downstairs (and on the classroom doorknob as the child opened the door)? Maybe the sink in the room is for painting etc and and there are no paper towels? or maybe she is worried about them splashing each other? I would have a word with the teacher if I were you, and ask her to clarify.
Hi little angel. Sorry I missed your post earlier. Some teachers are weird aren't they? I cannot for the life of me see what is wrong with your daughter and others, being allowed to wash their hands in the classroom sink. I was thinking the same as you, maybe the teacher has a thing about germs etc! I would speak to the teacher.
Louise, I do hope you let your son have a few weeks rest once he's finished college! You meanie you hehe.
Have had relaxing day. Nice soak, one load of washing, and I'll clean the bathroom in a while. Tomorrow, I'm going to have to go to the post office, and get a few bits of shopping. Also taking C to school. So, straight from there, I'll do my few chores, rest again before the afternoon school run. Friday, I'll have a flick through, quick hoover, and then nothing to do at the weekend. That's my plan anyway, hopefully it'll work out just fine!
The teachers would reward them in the primary school too. S had a great day, thank you. C told me he didn't speak, other than say "ask Mum about that" when they asked about what support he needed. He has an interview at the end of the month for art, which will be so different for him as he goes there each Saturday, and knows the tutors! Anyhow, the talk about the engineering course explained that they did have a module on aircraft maintenance, so it might give 16 year old a boost to get to that one.
That sounds dreadful littleangel, i went through a similair experience, with my eldest daughter she had to have a tooth out she had an abcess and after several attempts to numb her and get her tooth out with no success they referred her to the dental hospital, where that went pear shaped as well (no patience), now she has a fear of needles and has to be physically restrained to be put to sleep for any treatment i feel like the worst mum ever when i have to take her for any treatment as i am often one of the ones having to restrain her
Hope all goes well for you though
Hazeleyes i hope that you are feeling less tender and are able to get comfortable soon though i have not been on and posted i have been thinking of you
Hope all is well with you sparkling, how is your side?
What are your plans for the weekend LRH?
What are the rest of you up to? hope your all well
