Thursday ramblings

Hmmm did i word something wrong in last entry???...I thought it was obvious i was speaking about my sons and had made it clear that K's boyfriend lives miles away...Just wondered from the comment left by stardust...I did try to email them but ended up putting a comment myself.

Yesterday was quiet and the boys were remarkabley well behaved which was nice...Didn't phone mum i never do on that particular anniversary...None of us do which may sound horrible but she prefers to just be alone...Had G to the docs yesterday and he really does my head in at times...I tried to get him to tell the receptionist his name and which doctor he was there to see...He mumbled it so badly i ended up telling her and he got all huffy...He is 16 in march and once you're 16 then parental rights as to seeing doctor etc no longer exist...I can't remember offhand just now what it is called but there is a way around it...It's not power of attorney but similar...You can take this out for either day to day care or for money...I can of course still go in with him to doctor consultation with his permission...BUT for things like hospital, seeing his medical records, going to other medical appointments etc it would be easier to have this thing in place...It's now going to bug me so much i will be on the phone to carers centre tomorrow asking about it again...He asked me to go in with him to see the doctor as he didn't want to say why he was there...Then again when we got into the consultation room he had forgotton why he was there...Back in oct gp thought he had impetigo and he got antibiotics and antibiotic cream to use...It hasn't gone away and none of the rest of us has it and his face is much much worse...GP now reckons it's bad acne starting so put him on antibiotics for a month see if it clears up...The last time his face was like this was when he was a toddler...I stopped using polishes etc and it cleared up...Hmmm if not acne or impetigo it could be a touch of excema and something is setting it off...Will just have to wait and see...His prelims start next thurs and he's not a happy bunny LOL...He's got english on the thurs, something else on the fri, another subject on the mon...Then he has a weeks break until following mon, then last one on the wed...His taxi HAS changed as both us and the escort found out this morning when they came to pick him up...I will have to phone the base tomorrow to find out if he too gets exam leave...If he does I will tell the escort as i do NOT TRUST the base to do it.

Went round to the garage so they have ordered a new tyre to get fitted tomorrow :o) I like my small local garage...They don't charge a fortune for labour as some bigger places do...I get sent out a bill and then pay it within reasonable time...They don't try to fob me off because i am female (major bonus)...Also the new tyre will be about half the price it would cost me from major tyre/exhaust centre that is near them and i won't be charged for labour for just putting on a tyre...Younger sis has been into city again today and dropped off K's watch with links taken out...I gave her pressie for big sis and card for her birthday tomorrow...Didn't give my nephew his as i haven't made his card yet...I'll make one tonight or tomorrow morning and post it out...His birthday is on sun...Mum's been on phone and told me that she was in middle of wrapping up what she bought for me for my big sis instead LOL...She's decided to give me money so i can go to same shop and buy same or similar for myself LOL...Why she just didn't buy 3 last thurs i dunno...As it is i have plenty similar things already so would prefer to just get myself another dragon or maybe the glass shelves i have seen to display them on.

K's happily back down in edinburgh with her beloved awwww...All being okies we should be going down on saturday to deliver her stuff she didn't have room to take with her...This includes the pile of hand washing she presented me with on mon after having been at home for almost 3 weeks DUH!!!  Oh i've been buying up umpteen pairs of tigger socks from poundland LOL...I do like my tigger stuff

Caff it pays to shop near home and with a small business they seem to care more about pleasing their customers.....and I never got an alert on this one...Ally
