Bookie - I bet the doctor said that your leg will drop off UNLESS you go to Atlanta !

Well, I think I'd better confess my secret too.

You know how I've been trying really hard to pay off my card so I could justify buying a new computer to play the Sims 3 on but I realised I wouldn't manage it in time? Well, James hasn't had his student loan all year and his dad's rich so he paid all his rent for the year. He's now found out that he should be getting his loan tomorrow and after he's paid off his own debts, he's still going to have a fair amount left. So he's said he'll buy me a new computer as an early birthday pressie! Providing the money goes in tomorrow, I should have the comp by next Fri! :j :j :j
I've been keeping this from you guys for about a week now. I don't know why, since it's a pressie. But I'm glad I've told you now.

Appointment for 16.10. Got in at 15.05. Saw locum lady who seriously didn't have a clue but said she liked lumps as they were easy. Decided it was a fibroma that needed to be referred to a dermatologist. Spent 10 mins trying to do this with 1 finger on the computer! Said she would write a letter. Told me to keep it covered up as it would bleed like **** if I knocked it! :eek:
I left her to it. Walked back to reception and asked to see another Dr. Saw lovely man who froze it and says it will now drop off and to take paracetamol or a stiff drink if it hurts tonight.
(I'm sure he would have sent me to Atlanta if asked. Maybe I should have pleaded depression!)0 -

Can I get one of those?
Bookie, the best thing to do is phone your bank/mortgage provider and ask
I think all mortgages have at least some type of mortgage holiday scheme. Or maybe it will be in all your paperwork. If you can get a M holiday I am sure with some juggaling you can cover all the other relivent bills 
Happy new computer Kayleigh
