Hi girls!

thanks for the birthday wishes! had a pretty lovely day. got spoilt which was a lovely surprise! DH bought me some DVDs, mum got me some beauty products, scored a lovely big phat candle, a handmade tealight holder and a gorgeous metalicus wool dress for winter. the only problem was that my mum sent Leila a YODELLING goat. yep. it must disappear....driving me bonkers.

Suz: yeah i had the mouse issue lol. havent seen them since, but my cat has been patrolling so am content ATM that we have averted disaster thanks to our 'mouser'. i even have put the bread back on the bench as my 'check' system LOL! not sure on what is the most humane way to go about it. but i reckon that Sherie's system of snapping the necks would be the fastest...pity i dont have the guts to do it

Sherie: oh deary me. that does sound like he came a good cropper on that pole. hope his head doesnt hurt too much today the poor wee poppet.

Oz: how is the croup going? how did you know he had it? was it the cough?? i have no idea! best wishes for your friend too, exciting times ahead!

MD: the hormone thing could even possibly be related to the stage of cycle that your at. some chicks really bottom out...i reckon it is worth follow up BTs and see if there is a change or not...

AFM: all okish here. DD got sent home late yesterday afternoon for diaorrhea. turns out upon questioning today (AFTER going to the GP and begging for an early appt where the GP couldnt find any symptom of illness etc and was confused why we were there) that she had done 4 dirty nappies during the day. now, Leila has been there for just over 2 years. she is (and i apologise for TMI) a serial pooer. admittedley i had stocked her up on sultanas on the monday for the car ride...yes, i havent learnt my lesson...but seriously, there is a difference between 'loose' and diaorrhea IYKWIM. she looks fine, eating well and playing hard and sleeping even better. just annoyed that they made a big broo ha ha about it then backtracked today when i brought her in. (this is coming from the same carer that publicly -in front of other parents - stated that she thought a worm had come out of leila's vagina... turns out it is the skin flap that she has had since birth...so yeah, i am hesitant to believe everything the carer says LOL!). urgh. i know they need to be vigilant on contagious things, but a bit of sensitivity would go a long way...

sorry for the vent!
