    I can just see DH's reaction when I tell him in when he gets back with the dogs in a min, that we are going to have to go to out again and where. Gods he is going to be fuming..!! But it's not my fault I didn't ask to get this.
    I feel like curling up and crying now.. Sorry it's not flying but I had to tell someone..

    Natts - big, big hugs to you. I hope your DH surprises you and does the right thing. And you tell him from me it's NOT your fault. It's the fault of the NHS for having a strategy in place for a few months and then being unable to see it through. Their strategy said have phone systems and websites in place etc. But the website at least has failed. It's crashed under the strain. Only this government could let that happen...
