That and the increased regulations that the health service have to operate under now. Some of my old customers used to complain that they had to take front line staff off of their primary roles and put them at a desk just to keep up with all the regulatory requirements! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has your daughter tried changing your granddaughters diet slightly? Maybe she has a lactose or gluten intolerance? My eldest son has Crohn's and he has to steer away from anything with high fibre. Obviously your daughter wants to get to the bottom of it, but trying to alter your granddaughters diet slightly may help. Also, could it be anxiety? Is your granddaughter stressed about anything? School, bullying, etc? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School, bullying, etc? Since granddaughter started this my daughter has done (in my opinion) a good job of altering the kids diet, much, much less of the crap food, and less of fried stuff too, granddaughter does not drink milk or tea, she just drinks diluted drinks. Anxiety..possibly, she is not (as far as we can tell) bullied at school, but she is, how to put it, highly strung, makes a drama out of a crisis.....a very clingy kid too, with my daughter. Daughter just wants some answers, is it medical, or mental problem, it is doing our daughter no good being disturbed every night, then having to work a 8 or 10 hour shift after being up during the night for a hour or 2. Still think September is too long to wait. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they be under Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto von Jizzmark Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Got my kennel cough vaccine this morning. It was supposed to be for the dog, but she bucked so hard when the vet tried to get it up her nose that I got the lot right across my face and in my mouth. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once got booked into somewhere called 'The Floatel' which was a prefab floating hotel built on a slack bit of river near Macclesfield. It had already started sinking when I stayed there, which caused some interesting problems with the plumbing: you could sit by the window at breakfast and watch the other guests turds floating past. It got demolished not long after that. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
