    Good afternoon all :D

    I am shattered - had my bloods done this morning - only another 3 weeks of having it done! But the nurse who i see was my school nurse so was glad i knew her already as she is lovely.

    Happy birthday to VG :T :T :beer: :beer:

    Hope everyone is ok?

    Off to see my aunt again in the hospice in a bit xxxxx

    sorry have not had the chance to read back yet but I need to vent:

    I need to add a 'I-don't-bite' sign outside my door so that the postie can knock!!!!!!! He can't be ar!!ed t do so, left a red card although I am in!!! I am overwhelmed with sorting things out today and here he is adding to my tasks: a visit to the post office probably to collect a book that I ordered or something!!!!!:mad::mad: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

    I hate it when they do that! If it's a regular thing it might be worth complaining to royal mail. I did and I haven't had a red card since :D

    Twitter confused me, I may have messaged them, but maybe I didn't :confused:

    well I get some of them! Although I'm sure that I've missed a few as I don't always get red cards! Went to the post office and they had parcels for me that had been there fore 3 weeks - I only went as the postman had rang the intercom but not let me answer before ringing someone else so I wanted to check whether he meant to ring me! :mad:
