Sounds like he needs to brush up on his obstetrics!

Galen Thu 28-Aug-14 22:25:28

I think he might catch on to that one?
Although we did have a GP in my home town who was jailed for fraudulent claims. He was caught when he put in a maternity payment claim for an 83 year old patient.
And that is perfectly true.

Relief! I thought Galen meant that kitty's DM might pretend to be pregnant just to see 'that nice young doctor' again!

Elegran Thu 28-Aug-14 22:17:50

Another one? They must be exchanging ideas on the grapevine.

Elegran Thu 28-Aug-14 22:17:07

Just a few more days until that Panda's bluff is called, Galen She can't keep it up for ever (or am I thinking of the other one, which apparently has produced so much highly motile sperm for IVF that it is being frozen for posterity future inseminations - but could not persuade her that she really did find him attractive enough to get it on together)

what I think Galen was referring to was something on the radio this A.M. suggesting that some female Pandas in a sanctuary seem to fake pregnant panda behaviour to get better conditions food etc.

kitty wine brew cupcake and good vibes for a peaceful sleep.

Galen Thu 28-Aug-14 21:58:35

Like that panda that pretends to be pregnant

rosequartz Thu 28-Aug-14 21:50:25

I used to think that elderly parents were more of a worry than DC.
Watch out that your DM doesn't do something else just to see that nice young doctor again!
Hope you have a quiet , peaceful night. [soothing thoughts]
Does butter on the cat's paws work or is that just an old cat's tale?

I didn't realise there were plenty GNs under sixty so I will rephrase that to there are quite a few of the older generation on this forum grin

It was meant jokingly Ana

Ana Thu 28-Aug-14 21:22:10

You most certainly don't have to be old to be on this forum! Whatever gave you that idea, Agus? confused

There are plenty of grans under 60 on here (which is very young to me!)

Galen Thu 28-Aug-14 21:17:50

Humph!

Agus Thu 28-Aug-14 21:16:26

Galen you have to be old to be on this forum grin. I have seen your photo's though and you are most definately not either of the last two.

Agus Thu 28-Aug-14 21:10:41

Early night kitty. Good book, nightcap followed by 'sweet dreams' wink

Glad to hear your mum was on good form. She may have sweet dreams too after all that flirting and compliments. grin

Galen Thu 28-Aug-14 20:50:49

I'm old,horrible and definitely not male.

NfkDumpling Thu 28-Aug-14 20:40:54

wine and empathy. Disconnect the phone tonight! Sleep well. moon

thatbags Thu 28-Aug-14 20:30:24

kitty, zzzzzz moon

baubles Thu 28-Aug-14 20:24:41

What a day indeed! Hope you enjoyed the curry & wine and manage to sleep well tonight.

I was going to say 'sleep like a baby' but perhaps not grin

kittylester Thu 28-Aug-14 19:30:19

Not if they are like you Galen and he was young and lovely and MALE!!! grin

Galen Thu 28-Aug-14 19:25:34

flowers don't fall for the Dr, they're terrible people

Lona Thu 28-Aug-14 19:05:53

kitty You must dream about the doctor and then you won't want to wake up!
Glad your mum is ok though flowers

granjura Thu 28-Aug-14 18:58:15

Oh dear Kitty- enjoy that wine - you are being put through the mill- and sandwiched from both sides. hugs

kittylester Thu 28-Aug-14 18:50:39

It started at 12.30 AM [intentional shouty capitals] when the phone rang. Dragging ourselves from the depths of sleep, DH just had time to notice that it was Mum's NH before the ringing stopped.

I spent quite a lot of the rest of the night trying to get through to Mum's unit but the phone was continually picked up by people who asked ME how to put me through confused

Eventually, I gave up on the basis that they would have rung a brother which they had. I couldn't get back to sleep for expecting one brother or another to ring.

At 6.30, I got a text from my brother to say that mum had had a fall, an ambulance had been called but she had refused, in no uncertain terms, to go to hospital. An on call doctor was called to glue her head together. This was the second fall this week due, we think, to her forgetting that she should use a walker. confused

In the mean time we realised that we hadn't seen DD's cat for two days and then she got a phone call to say that the house she shared with the Idiot had been egged. It was not me!!! She went to clean up the house and discovered her cat was in the garden. This house is 3 miles away and between us and it there is a canal, the A6 and a mainline railway. shock

I went to visit mum, to be met by the GP who was checking that she hadn't broken her hip in the fall as she was complaining of back pain, he doesn't think she has! Mum was on great form and I fell for the (extremely young blush) doctor who was brilliant with my mum, flirting with her and complimenting her outrageously, which she really loved.

I've had no sleep, I've got to cook a curry and then it must, surely, be bedtime! wine
