He's a gorgeous boy, Nikkit!  It's a beautiful thing when an animal shows how much trust they have in you!

School holidays here, so trying to keep the kids from destroying everything in sight   

Since it was just DS's birthday at least he has lots of new toys to play with.  And tomorrow we will go and get fish for his new fishtank.

Hope lily feels better soon Suzanne. Nothing worse than sick children on holidays.

That's a shame about legoland Hally. Hope tomorrow is better.

Blood test today. I hate needles

[Halex]

Legoland is nice, but it was very very hot, little shade.

We left at 7.45am on a tour. The bus took us to  the singapore flyer, we then boarded another bus about 8.45am, had to get off the bus twice for leaving & entering sinapore & malaysia, same on way home. Arrived at Legoland about 10.15,  4 hours would be enough, but bus home not until 5pm. Very long hot day.

On the plus side no queues for rides, smoe rides we just stayed on and rode again.

There are different ways to get there.

[Nikkit]

Me too Kimmy, hope you can think of something nice while it is all happening.

The last lot I had I warned the lady that I didn't do needles very well and it was best that I lay down on the bed and to please not show me anything - especially not the vials of blood at the end.
Being 6 foot 1 she looked me up and down and went "pffft, you'll be right".
So she sat me in the chair, and proceeded to wave everything under my nose. I sucked it up best I could, trying to be a big girl. (I've tried and even my big girl panties don't help me out when I have blood tests) 
She then said "all done" and waved the vials of my newly extracted blood past my face. I am sure she had an evil grin on her face as she did it...
I promptly lost all control sitting in that chair and slid down onto the floor out cold. Came too with her flapping around me, and she says "oh gosh are you ok, you just passed out then, for a big person you really don't do needles well do you?". My reply... "No sh!!  sherlock, I *&^%$# told you to put me on the bed!"
She apologised profusely as I got myself together and up off the floor, and she tried to be as nice as pie. I was pretty much over her by then, so left and had a little rest in my car before I came home.
Needless to say I haven't had any more tests done and sure as heck won't be going back there to have them done!

[obbie]

at work.

Nikkit, some people don't do needles well at all.
