Let’s see. I spent the weekend back up in Yorkshire clearing as much as I could from the rented house – several trips to the tip, and then crammed what I could into the car and limped home Monday evening.
Have managed to get an extension on TMA, complicated by the fact that the OU has now assigned me a new tutor so I don’t have the details of the old one to send the TMA to!
Took the kids out to Forest School in Colchester for the afternoon, no pics as I can’t find the camera, sigh, they seemed to have a great time and at least I’ve met some vaguely local home educators now. Also discovered that smallish children appear to find me very approachable, as I was struggling to fend them off, although that could have been because I was the only adult sitting still. Odd though.
Have had some odd cramping pains, which motivated me to take myself off to register with the GP today, and have to say that the practise is excellent – the receptionists took me seriously, contacted a doctor who was still in the building, who spent prob half an hour taking a full history, doing a brief exam, and then got on the phone to the EPAU and set up a viability scan for the morning. He even drew me a map of how to get there, didn’t patronise me in the slightest – at one point he said “you probably know better than I do how this works”, strange but true. He also said my medical history is unusual, usually you get miscarriages and live births intermingled, not two of one and then a run of the other, don’t know how accurate that is, but not precisely comforting either way! I’ve also got the record – quickest ever referral to hospital of a new patient, completed approx 20 minutes after I’d handed the registration forms in :/
Came home and retired to bed, in a masterful move that meant I avoided thinking about or worrying about anything. I have of course completely shot my sleep patterns for the duration, but hey, Tim bought me black out linings for the curtain so what does it matter?
Scan is at 11 in the morning, I’ll let you know how it goes, thanks for the comments and caring.
