Little Things

[lathany]

The duo visited the doctor nurse today for their four year old injections. The first one seemed to be more or less painless but the second one left them both in tears (but the lollipop rewards helped matters along). So that's that until they reach fourteen when, I imagine, they'll both be taller than me (and probably still better about needles).

I also managed to sort out a lot of little jobs; paying off my Christmas credit card bill, visiting the family planning clinic and completing my Principal Record entry for The Wheel in preparation for this weekend's session (starring bluedevi, chrestomancy and TheHattedOne). If I get my act together it might be a session involving mulled wine. On the writing side, I've completed the first half of the Fourth editing, so it'll be going over to bateleur fairly soon (and I can start planning Fifth). And ICESP will be launched just as soon as I get session dates together. (<glares at chrestomancy>)

There was one disappointment in the day; I'd spotted a pair of trousers on the Marks and Spencer website last weekend that would have been perfect for work (and in about the only style that fit me). However, being on twin duty at the time, I didn't order them on the spot. Sadly, they've now gone - the Spring collection has replaced them. :-(

No rubella for girls at 10/11 anymore? The boys loved that one when I was a lass.

I think they just had the rubella, 'cos it's been combined. Which says a lot about child pregnancies I guess.

Yeah, I remember rubella. It was the first year of secondary for me. I remember some of the boys being irritated because the girls missed part of a lesson to have it.

Oh yeah - the R in MMR.

I managed to be off sick for the rubella jab, so everyone accused me of skiving to avoid the injection! I didn't though, honest guv!

I had MR (just measles and rubella) so I had to have the MMR last year.I've alwayts reacted extremely badly to needles (we're talking panic attacks)since I had to have a lumber puncture while suffering meningitis at age 7.

Oww! I totally sympathise.

Writing a 5th book? How many of them are itching to get out of your system then? (be careful, this writing lark can be addictive..)

I'll probably continue to write them whilst I have ideas. Which could be a fairly permanent task.
