Croup

After a couple of calls to 111, a call from the out of hours doctor and a visit from a paramedic, we spent a couple of hours this evening at the QMC children's casualty dept. Hamish has croup and was struggling to breathe properly. Home now after some steroid syrup and a brave boy sticker. Asleep and breathing easier. I picked a fine day to not have any glugging wine in!

2 weeks to go !!!!!!

Pack a box, go to the tip, go to the charity shop, pack a box............... 2 weeks to go and nearly there. Just the kitchen to do, really. Getting excited now !

Safe and sound

Texting is extortionate out here but to let people know we are safe in Tunisia :)

We arrived just after 10.30 last night and have chilled at the beach or the pool. We are also planning a few days out (what sold ne was the chance to feed an elephant!)

Hope everyone is well, its gloriously warm here.

Love and hugs

Persistence pays off - in spades !!!!

Further to my posting on the Prudential issue wherein I may have mentioned that I had received a cheque for £100 for "inconvenience". Well, that is exactly what it was. Having found the policy while trawling through stuff ready for packing, I came across the original policy. (Told you I hadn't shredded it !). Imagine my real surprise when I received a cheque for 18 times the first one. Sometimes it pays to be a rotweiller. Result !!!!!!!

persistence pays off

At last, after 10 months of trying, I received a cheque from the Prudential today. Not a lot of money but it's the principle that counts !!!! Packing is proceeding slowly but we will get there. Tried to get the entry date changed (I had a golf outing on the 4th) but it wasn't possible to please all in the chain. However, my solicitor says things are going well. I might have to settle for a lesser victory over the PGA about my coaching licence but ALL coaches in Scotland should have the position clarified by the PGA so that is a small victory.
