An even smaller update

June 22, 2012 Maria La Chica

I follow the “no news is good news” motto. However, this time “no news” means sort of bad news.

After our appointment with Gillian Dawes on May 12th, I was kind of hoping that by the beginning of June we would have heard from the funding people. But, after the little incident with the forgotten chlamydia test I knew maybe the whole thing would get delayed another week. It is now 3 weeks later than I thought and we still haven’t heard back. Imagine me checking the mail every day and getting a bit stressed as the days passed without being blessed by the postman… 🙂

I called Gillian earlier this week to ask for some feedback (I was very pleased to see that just by saying my name she knew exactly who I was, even though she’s only met me once – that’s how memorable my name is, lol) and it turns out that she thought that I still hadn’t returned the urine sample for the chlamydia test, so she hadn’t sent the funding application yet! I was a bit disappointed, but I suppose we all make mistakes from time to time.

My only concern at the moment is that I was kind of hoping to start the treatment in July. My next period is towards the end of next week, and if we don’t hear from the PCT before then, I will probably have to wait until the following period before we can start the treatment. No biggie. That would mean that, if things went ok and I got pregnant, I would have a June baby rather than a May baby.

Hello! So, tomorrow Friday is the end of the twins’ first week going full time into school. In the title of the blogpost I say “or two, really”, as this is their second week, but the first week was only a settling in week, going just a couple of hours a day. So, if you […]

School classes placements

So as I have mentioned before, I have always wanted the twins to be together in the same school class, and that was one of the reasons why we didn’t take Castle Hill Greenbank campus more seriously, as they have a policy of separating twins regardless of parent’s wishes. And I thought that everything was […]
