Little things completed.

It's been a while, to be honest, not a lot to report has happened here. The girls are both in school, no one (for the moment) is sick, and the weather has taken a downward turn :-( I will have to go and walk the dog shortly, but I'm not looking forward to it.

One thing I have done, is get the photographs we needed for our new passports. You see, we have been granted a short break to Disneyland Paris in December (Christmas at Disney, how exciting!), and my passport had expired in 2003, and the girls had never had one. Trying to get a photograph of Tabitha with a neutral expression, looking straight at the camera, against a light background.....not easy! I hope the passport office accept what we managed to get. Also, we haven't told Ellie anything about the trip yet, she would drive us round the bend, so trying to get it done of her, without explaining why she needed to not smile at the camera, tricky! Still all done now, and tomorrow I will be sending the applications off. Fingers crossed all is ok with them.

Another thing I have achieved, I have complained to the PALS team about the Registrar we saw. I often get wound up about things, but don't take any action, but this time I have. They asked me what I hoped to achieve from the complaint, to which I said I wanted the guy to listen to parents, not throw potentially life-limiting illness into a consultation that had no baring on what was being discussed, and not spend all his time obstructing me from speaking to the Surgeon, who has actually met my child, operated on her, and knows her pretty well. I now have to wait for the outcome. I feel better knowing I have raised it now though, even if nothing does come of it, there will be a question mark over his manner in any case.
