Yes they asked me that and about 50 other questions too, they were very nice the people I spoke too, but I was just so frustrated with worry. I did send a nice email to them this morning explaing the situation with the ref numbers as I think It could be something to do with the computers issuing the wrong codes as I was one of 8 parents waiting who had the same problem. The main problem was the fact that the computer would not let anyone change the doseage, not the call center staffs fault I know. I feel really sorry for them as I bet they get some right aggravation from some people. I'm sorry if I sounded like I was having a go at the staff its not there fault its the way the computer system works.

I would not worry about it cos my daughter gets extra money doing the swine flu calls! but strange tho they are not allowed to give advice to N.Ireland callers they have to tell them to contact their GP! and yet the helpline is here in N.Ireland! I picked her up from work today waited for 25 mins and she said sorry she was on the phone with a woman for 45 mins ans couldnt hang up at 5pm

Mum2one - Not laughing really, honest!! Just asked IT geek OH about your space bar and he said whats actually happened to it? Is it just the key thats roke or is it the pressure pads? He thinks, either way, £100 is very expensive.

Sarah - Oh dear poor DS. Touch wood, little pip hasnt got it yet. He would be too young for the Tamiflu. Hope the Ice cream works x x

How strange, I hope I wasn't the woman she was on the phone too Poor girl was as frustrated as me by the end of the call, it is so frustrating. And how silly not to be coving N.Ireland when the call centre is there. Oh well glad she is getting paid extra for it.

It is and it isn't, pips mum, think I will have to try something else this morning, poor little thing is so upset and walking round feeling so sorry for himself, you would think that they would do it in a liquid form for the younger children

Touch wood OH and DS1 don't get it too, or it's going to be a long holiday staying in the house.

'Twas the night before Christmas and Santa's a wreck...How to live in a world that's politically correct?His workers no longer would answer to "Elves","Vertically Challenged" they were calling themselves.And labor conditions at the north poleWere alleged by the union to stifle the soul.Four reindeer had vanished, without much propriety,Released to the wilds by the Humane Society.And equal employment had made it quite clearThat Santa had better not use just reindeer.So Dancer and Donner, Comet and Cupid,Were replaced with 4 pigs, and you know that looked stupid!?The runners had been removed from his sleigh;The ruts were termed dangerous by the E.P.A.And people had started to call for the copsWhen they heard sled noises on their roof-tops.Second-hand smoke from his pipe had his workers quite frightened.His fur trimmed red suit was called "Unenlightened."And to show you the strangeness of life's ebbs and flows:Rudolf was suing over unauthorized use of his noseAnd had gone on Geraldo, in front of the nation,Demanding millions in over-due compensation.So, half of the reindeer were gone; and his wife,Who suddenly said she'd enough of this life,Joined a self-help group, packed, and left in a whiz,Demanding from now on her title was Ms.And as for the gifts, why, he'd ne'er had a notionThat making a choice could cause so much commotion.Nothing of leather, nothing of fur,Which meant nothing for him. And nothing for her.Nothing that might be construed to pollute.Nothing to aim. Nothing to shoot.Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise.Nothing for just girls. Or just for the boys.Nothing that claimed to be gender specific.Nothing that's warlike or non-pacific.No candy or sweets...they were bad for the tooth.Nothing that seemed to embellish a truth.And fairy tales, while not yet forbidden,Were like Ken and Barbie, better off hidden.For they raised the hackles of those psychologicalWho claimed the only good gift was one ecological.No baseball, no football...someone could get hurt;Besides, playing sports exposed kids to dirt.Dolls were said to be sexist, and should be passe;And Nintendo would rot your entire brain away.So Santa just stood there, disheveled, perplexed;He just could not figure out what to do next.He tried to be merry, tried to be gay,But you've got to be careful with that word today.His sack was quite empty, limp to the ground;Nothing fully acceptable was to be found.Something special was needed, a gift that he mightGive to all without angering the left or the right.A gift that would satisfy, with no indecision,Each group of people, every religion;Every ethnicity, every hue,Everyone, everywhere...even you.So here is that gift, it's price beyond worth..."May you and your loved ones enjoy peace on earth.
