Maybe you'll need to start with the bump & then if she says she can only deal with one condition at a time & doesn't deal have time to deal with your insomnia you'll have to make another appointment. I think some things, like insomnia are okay to discuss over the phone but things like lumps & bumps are probably better seen face to face so that the GP can see how big it is, feel if it's mobile or not etc. MIL is 87 & her hip is bothering her. She saw a GP last year, Xray showed arthritis & she got physio. Now it's getting worse. She waited for 4 weeks to see a GP but actually she could have had a phone chat because she's been seen before with the same thing & all they're going to do is arrange another XRay & refer her to Orthopaedics x

Ty for finding our lobster! I appreciate your help.

Do they only give you same day appointments? You can't make one for a weeks time for instance? In my surgery they will give you an appointment but it might be for 2 weeks down the line unless it's classed as urgent like abdominal pain, bleeding, breast lump etc & then you will get one that day. For a physiotherapy appointment you have to phone at 0800 for a same day appointment. The GP won't see you for a painful hip or knee - you have to try & get the physio for that & they will arrange X Ray, Ortho referral etc if required but like you, you can wait for ages to get through at 0800 & then when you do get through the appts are all gone so you have to go through the same rigmarole the following day x

Hi Claire, well done with your Lobsters. You'll want to keep an eye on your total tadpole, froglets and frog numbers as you'll need plenty spawn for getting through the BDs. I would either plant a dulcia to deter the frogs now, or lower my top hat table to deter any more frogs. You won't get any more froglets until you get some tadpoles. And you may have to do a round of frog breeding to bump your numbers up after you've finished lobsters x

I need to spot a lobster for my vase so I’ll be back tomorrow, nite x

Aw sorry I looked at your land frogs, yes one more! See told u I was rubbish at frogs lol x

You’re doing brilliant, your right on track 3 more frogs then u will get frogspawn on your lower plate x

Just checking in quickly before bedtime. You're doing fine. Just 2 or 3 more frogs and you'll have your spawn on your empty low plate. I'm going to freeze overnight. My shroom is RFH and tomorrow I want to get indigo coral so will need a RFH mushroom for Pegasus. And my underwater toadstool will go RFH at some point overnight too. I have aqua aerobics on Friday mornings but will be back in FL to sort my own pond out about 1300 x

You’ll have to show me how when your done lol

I think it will be your 4th or 5th frog that will lay spawn. I have always counted my ghostly frogs when doing frog breeding. You can now put your used rocks out and plant your coral. I would also use a shroom. Once your red guppy comes & colours your coral red, you can remove your pondweed because you want your high berries to attract the frog and not a lot of red guppies. Or you can leave the pondweed & plant a ruby or amber jewel to deter the guppies x
