Welcome and I look forward to reading more.
Thanks @jjraak. I rang on the dot at 8.30 this morning as suggested. I was 18th in the queue bur didn't have too long to wait. Guess what--there were no appointments left with the said doctor. The receptionist was very sympathetic and explained that there had not been many available to begin with as the doctor also made them directly himself. Despite being told yesterday that they could not make appointments with him in advance she bent the rules and made me an appointment for Friday. My fbs today were 15.3. Best wishes.It's a shocking system at times
Had similar, so just called next day as advised.
Rarely get through & by the time someone actually answers all appointments are gone again
Rarely bother now.
I'm online with surgery & use their E-Consult service.
Get a call back later in day, explain issues, usually get appointment or visit sorted if needed.
Not ideal for every occasion obviously, but worked well for me this year.
Hope you get a good response tomorrow.
That was a bit of boisterous excitement there!
It is absolutely amazing how that suddenly happens with colour...
She is cheeky, and bold with it too!
That was scary. Hugs for you.
Thanks for the lyrics @ianpspurs
Welcome to the thread @Ellesangel29
Absolutely agree.
Burning question is, where do we sign up to get them to throw stones at him..?
But some drivers do seem to drive with their eyes shut - not anyone on this forum, of course but some years ago when my husband, trying to stay home from the seafaring, had a job at the local hospital as an auxiliary nurse. On a wet, miserable morning he donned his bright yellow cycling cape and rode the 7 miles to Stornoway - it was fully light but he also had his lights on, front and back. A taxi drove out of a side road, just as he was crossing the end of the road. The driver just hadn't seen this bright yellow apparition right in front of him. Luckily the only damage to Tom was a fine selection of bruises, but the bike and cape were written off. I fume about cyclist riding 2 or 3 abreast on roads only wide enough to stay behind them without breaking the Highway Code, or without adequate lights or reflective flashes but I also fume about drivers who skim past cyclists or horses with only inches to spare (very often with indignant roaring of engines to express their displeasure). There is good practice and bad practice all round, unfortunately. When I was driving, I even had to berate myself when my anger surged at being cut up by another car, or some other example of bad driving manners. Once I found myself tailgating one such, until I realised how foolish that was and desisted. Never allowed myself to give free reign to my anger like that again. Not only a useless waste of energy but positively dangerous.
Silly man. One has to wonder about the mentality of "politicians" who think their voter-appeal will be enhanced by taking part in such programmes as these. Or is it to have some sort of public presence after they think their day is pretty well done at Westminster? Not that I have ever watched any of these shenanigans (not even that one where people lived in the same house after the very first edition of that - was it called "Big Brother" - poor George Orwell if it was, using his invention for that kind of idiocy).
Won't make a blind bit of difference. Stick a blue rosette on a wheelie bin and it wins by a landslide in most of East Anglia. Cambridge is an obvious exception and part of Norwich. I think the attached is just for the press.
In the spirit of grabbing as much dosh a possible, I see ficklizzie has an e-book out about her time in number ten.
That woman is amazing! Imagine, having to run a house, do the shopping and cleaning, packing up to move house, cooking, possibly baking her own bread and making pickles AND she even has time to write a book (albeit an e-book) about all the years (weeks) she spent in office and at the same time running the country. Women eh? Fantastically talented and multi-tasking.
