Won’t be looking forward to a stay in here over a weekend again If you do end up in over the weekend then this weekend's secret code for getting premium quality care in the NHS is "the kipper is in the top drawer". Just mention this to any senior nurse or doctor and you'll instantly get the sort of care reserved for VIPs. It may not be in the type of hospital you planned but care is care... 2 Quote “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

Spidey 2,489 Report post Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) All good as it seems with my new kidney. Just running with a bit of high BP at the moment which probably down to job hunting, and our boiler deciding to pack in. Few more pills, but more importantly home for the weekend Now to complete a Resource Planning test ready for an interview on Monday, assuming my laptop doesn’t blow up Edited June 15, 2018 by Spidey 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I’ve gone very paranoid over it which is probably contributing to high BP. I think once I get a job and get back I my routine everything will be normal again. Never not had a job, since I was 19 so it’s a bit of a new experience for me. I’m coming up to my 13th week off work. Never thought I’d be so eager to get back 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Padge 5,170 Report post Posted June 16, 2018 dear diary, why am I not in the least bit phased when I am sat by swimming pool in Greece and a Greek waiter opens a two litre bottle of Belgian Christmas ale and starts handing out free drinks from it.

Padge 5,170 Report post Posted June 16, 2018 I am currently in a conversation with a former work colleague who retired last year who is island hopping around Greece. He has never been to Greece before and just messaged me with "NOW I get it", meaning my enthusiasm for Greece. 3 Quote Visit my photography site www.padge.smugmug.com Radio 5 Live: Saturday 14 April 2007 Dave Whelan "In Wigan rugby will always be king" This country's wealth was created by men in overalls, it was destroyed by men in suits.
