This and that

In the words of Victor Meldrew 'I don't believe it' LOL...Yesterday in the post i got a letter from local health board...Nothing uncommon there as i often get ones for the boys from speech therapy etc...So i opened it up thinking yet another speech therapist had left...How wrong was i LOL the letter was a DATE for the ultrasound scan i had been refered for way back 2nd week of july...There was a number to phone to arrange a time in NOVEMBER...So i phoned them up AGAIN...I had phoned about 3 hours before i was rushed into hospital to chase it up and again when i came home from hospital to cancel the scan...The 2nd time i left a message saying i no longer required the appointment and why...Well the bloke that answered the phone was not the brightest spark in the box...He asked my name and why i wished to cancel it...I told him because i had the operation 3 weeks ago...He said really and where did you have it done then...So i politely informed him i had done here at the local hospital...So then he hummed and said 'ARE YOU SURE THEY TOOK IT OUT' ...Well words failed me at that point and i just muttered yes so he said thank you i will cancel it and hung up...I so felt like saying to him 'no am not sure i only have 4 scars on my belly for fun'...Makes you wonder where they get these people at times.

M came home from school yesterday with a letter about going away on a trip...Usually it is room 8 that go every 2nd year but they have 4 extra places for next june so they were being offered to older kids in his class...Fingers crossed he gets a place as i think more than 4 will want to go...The place they are going to is run by the Bendrigg Trust and is in the Lake District...It is specifically for physical disabilities and learning difficulties...They have a website www.bendrigg.org.uk  I haven't looked at it myself yet as we got a leaflet about the place home to read.

G went back to school yesterday :o) He handed in the form from work experience and the head of the base was really pleased with it...G also overheard her telling the other staff that it was an EXCELLENT report :o) We must be doing something wrong this year as so far she has been complimentary about him all the time <ggg> He has snowboarding tonight so i will see his guidance teacher there as he teaches skiing on a fri evening...Will ask him what he thinks of it then :o)

K had a great time at her party down in edinburgh and now i am getting nervous about her moving to uni...Can't believe my baby is all grown up now and leaving home...Ok she will be home in holidays and hopefully for the odd weekend...Just wonder if my mum and dad felt like this about me leaving home to go to art school.

Went into town today to be outside the registrars when my friend was going in to get married this morning...She looked gorgeous and was very nervous...When they came out she said he had pulled a face as she went to say her vows and all she could do was giggle from there on <ggg> Her sons care worker is going to stay with him overnight today so her and her now hubby can go away to a posh hotel for the night :o) I made her a card in her favourite pink colour and took some pics...Have loads to write about my best friends new house that i saw for first time eysterday but will do that laters...Got a new siggy so trying it out :o) ...Toodle pip for now and tc xx
