Stupid NHS (by sarah)

Da Grrrrrr!!!!!

I've been waiting for an appointment - as I always am - first of all they sent me a letter saying they could now offer me an appointment but that I had to phone within two weeks of getting the letter - this was over Easter when they werent taking calls for like a week and then we were on hooliday etc..... So I finally got through and they said they had taken me of the list but that I hadnt yet been refered back to the GP so they could just put me on the list again.

I get a letter last week from them - finally - I phone today thinking I should have time still but no! The letter was sent out on the 31st of May apparently. I suppose I should have checked the date on the letter instead of just going by when it arrives - I bet it sat in the out tray for a week before it actually got posted 🙁 Fortunatly they hadnt refered me back to the GP so have put me back on the list - sigh - and around we go again!

On top of that I mis read the number and phoned the wronge number initially (sarah blushes)

Also the Water board have been muppets! I phoned them up when we arrived and said that it was us here now - blah blah blah and I got a bill and payed it - since the autum though we havent had a bill - now I didnt really pay much attention to this assuming that the bill was an annual one (yes mI know I should have checked properlly and kept a record and all the rest but I was doing all of this whilst breast feeding with laptop and phone being the only things in reach). Anyway it turns out they have been sending the bills to Babara and the reminders which of course she thought was for her bills so has been phonign them up saying she's payed etc...

Anyway they then sent her a thing saying they were getting solicators out - this was a couple of days after she realised the address on the bill was the Bakery and had bought it over - I had just sent it off that day but now after having phoned up and been assured no solicitors will show up and that the account has been zeroed (for credit check stuff) that check is no good to them so they have to resend everything - fortunatley they are not going to make us pay spring and summer together but splitting it for us.

Grrrrrr - bloody admin!!!!!

Ok rant over sorry it was a bit longer than I intended!

Poor Little Rabbit :'( (by sarah)

Babara came calling for Al today but he was in London, she had a rabbit she had tried to kill herself as Tim (the cat) had broken its leg. It was in a bit of a state and I ended up holding it whilst she hit it witht he baseball bat - guess who got covered in blood 🙁

Poor thing - I concede it needed to be killed and that this was the quickest kindest way but I feel bad 🙁 I wouldnt have let Al do it if he had been here anyway due to his 'proper' vegitarianism. Of course if I'd found it with a broken leg like that I would have probably done the selfish thing and have in a box munching lettice at the mo hoping it just might recover.

It was such a lovely looking thing too and it was warm and soft 🙁 Still at least I know I'll never starve as I can do these things even if I hate them and will probably have nightmares over it! Also it didnt go to waste - Tim has since eaten most of it and if Babara hadnt found him playing with it he would have just worried it to death.

Of Olives and Watering Cans (by sarah)

Well I found a mystery partially crushed olive on the window sill in the kitchen - now me and Al have puzzeled over this - surely it is the one from the 'sink disastor' but how did it get there? It was undernieth stuff from before mum and dad came to visit! - roll on music from Fortean TV.

There there was the watering can - Babara kept asking me if it was difficult for me to fill the watering can up - I kept saying I always refilled it after use - this carried on with her getting annoyed that she had even given me a hose and I still hadnt bothered to refill and me getting really annoyed that she had obviouslly forgotten to refill it and then kept blaming me! However, it turns out that the watering can happened to have a slow leak! So it was fine if used shortly after being filled but not if left for any amount of time!

Jean Stood Up! (by sarah)

Jean has not yet started crewling though she ended up somewhere today that could mean she has just started but thats not the impressive thing - we were changing her and things for bed and she got upset so we were sitting with her on the floor in her room when she took it into her head to crab her cot and pull herself up so she was standing!!!!

Makes us wonder if she's going to skip crawling altogether 🙂
