How are you doing love? I know how much you worry...
Polo seems a bit better but I’m still taking him to the vets for a blood test. I’m ok, ta
Sounds sensible to me. He's one very special and loved puppy dog!
(panda)
Big hugs fellow mummy of a furbaby. Xx
Hope Polo's blood results come back ok. They really are such a worry but we still adore them. X
Morning gorgeous, how are you? How is Polo? How are the other team Sparkles members?
I’m better for my quiet weekend, thanks :). Polo is fine (and hungry) but I’ve got an appt this evening for him. The rest of our little team are good, Jess has her first mock today - hopefully she’s revised lol. Today, I’m going to start prep for my ESA Assessment, can’t say I’m looking forward to it mind you but needs must.
Good luck for the prep work and for Polo...
Hope the mock is kind to Jess. Ben has his at the end of the month...
Polo’s on antibiotics, bless him, and has had bloods taken - they’re going to look at pancreas, kidneys, liver etc just to cover all the bases. He’s probably fine except for an infection but given his age and how poorly he was last year I didn’t want to take any chances. Also, it’s only been a couple of months since we lost Luna, I’m not ready to lose him too so if there is something lingering, best to find out now and get him treatment early.
I’m also a bit miffed at Si. He got cross about the cost of the bloods - yet we’d both decided yesterday we wanted them to be done
I’m shattered. For some reason I was up at 5.45am this morning .....night everybody

Work this afternoon so chilling this morning :)
Have you and Si talked things through and sorted things out?
Yeah, it’s fine. He’s just a bit more touchy about money at the moment - December and January are always expensive mo this ;)
(rofl) Aren't they just?!
Sometimes I really hate being right. Polo’s bloods have come back and he’s got kidney disease. Because I insisted on the tests, though ;), we caught it early and can help him with a special diet and stopping his rheumocam meds.
It’s been a long afternoon and I’m really sore. Still, nothing planned for tomorrow so I can rest up
Oh hunni am sorry about Polo hopefully the treatment helps please pace
Poor Polo!
Had Housegroup tonight - I cried a little bit. I’m so terrified of this assessment on Monday .....
(panda)
OK, why did you cry at housegroup?
What is it that terrifies you about the assessment? I can talk you through what happens and how it's all done if you want? I've been to loads now as I take me for mine, Marc for his, his Mum for hers..... Oh and always claim back the cost of getting there and home again ;)
I cried because I’ve been holding the tension for 2 weeks now. What terrifies me is a combination of stress over actually getting there and coping with the environment, worry about whether I’m going to answer their questions and, mainly, fear that they’ll call me a fraud ......
You are NOT a fraud! I know it's on your mind but talk about it. We're here to listen.
You aren't a fraud. I felt like a fraud, but when you start listing the issues you have and looking at what you can't do - instead of what you can and you know deep down that you aren't. If it doesn't go how it should then you put in a MR, then a tribunal... You can do this.
I can only echo what Suzi and Magie have said, you'll have Si with you to put them straight (bear) (panda)
I've no words of wisdom but always a hug. X(panda)
I got a text from my boss saying she’s off sick so I can’t work tomorrow - I’m not allowed by occ health to do the shift on my own. That doesn’t make me feel good at all but I suppose I shouldn’t feel like a fraud and useless at the same time, right?
Still, it means I get to see mum and dad
Silver lining (panda)
I think right now you seeing your parents is more important anyway... You could do with their extra love and support in person right now...
Sending love and hugs.(panda)
I’ve got a cold and last night had earache which is just one of those things - but I went to bed in my make up, without brushing my teeth and with my earrings in. I don’t think I’ve been that lazy in years!! (rofl)
Sounds like an awesome day to get bonus time with your parents. x
(panda)
Then maybe a day with your parentals is exactly what you need?
Then spending some quality time with your parents is just what you need!
(panda)
I hope you are enjoying your time with your parents.
Pace this weekend please?
Yes, boss ;)
Ooh! mum and dad are with you? Lovely, you enjoy every minute of it. I really miss my parents.(panda)
