    I think you'll find they'll take your money in any form you offer it...

    Except perhaps bank notes with skid marks down the middle.

    But they are usually reserved for tax bills anyway...

    What's happened Lou?

    He has had had alot of trouble with his eye on the affected side and after 3 GP's seeing him and giving him eye drops he finally got a cancellation with the hospital optometrist (sp).........

    His eye is badly ulcerated and infected to the point where he has been admitted to the eye infirmary hospital and has had to have his eyelid sewn up to prevent any further infection. Its bloody ridiculous that this wasnt spotted earlier, he could have actually lost his sight or even worse his whole eye due to clueless GP's:mad:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    OMG Toto hahahaha that is brilliant but unless hubby is the sultan of brunei somehow I think you may have to scale back a little ;)

    Lou - sounds really tough for you all...at least he has managed to get in with a specialist now and they can start working on it asap. Is it worth raising a complaint with the GP? Maybe they need some further training in such things?
