At last ..... yeah right

Post arrived this morning, among the usual bills, was a letter marked BRI. BRI is the hospital at which I am getting my cardiac MRI done, as I have been waiting since November for it, I thought Yay at last the appointments arrived. Took a deep breath and opened it ..... to be confronted with a letter advising me that I was on the waiting lisrt and they wanted to know if I still required the test.... WTF????? Well yes unless by some fricking miracle my heart has incredibly shrunk, stopped its arrythmias etc (which it hasn't for the record ;) ) then YES of course I still bloody well need it. So as requested on the letter I duly rang to confirm I wanted it. Only to discovber the woman who had sent me the letter, to whom I needed to speak, was on bloody holiday...........


Head meet wall, wall meet head ......

Oh now what was it they mentioned about trying to avoid stress.... well stop bloody causing it then you muppets.

The Glow stick incident

I have just realised whilst posting on Neenaws blog that I have not posted on here about the glow stick incident involving Garin !!

Whilst I was offline, we had a little problem. Many of you know of the mischeif Garin gets up to, his latest being biting the top off of a glow stick. literaly, he picked it up, looked at it, and bit right through it. Mouthful of flourescent pink fluid, mad panicking mum. Wiped it out of his mouth then ran and got him a drink of very diluted juice. Grabbed phone and dialled 999. Thank the goddess for the call taker , who with immense calm( and only the trace of laughter in his voice) he reassured me that Garin was not about to suffer from an untimely end, and put me through to nhs direct, who did not manage to keep the laughter out of their voices and roared with laughter dowqn the phone!!!

Alls well that ends well, though the flourescent pink nappies were another matter. top tip though, do not give glo sticks to toddlers with sharp teeth. Garin aka Fang is being measured for a muzzle hehehe
