    Thanks scaredy - looks very scarey to me, but my boss will kill me about taking time off work to go to the Dr. I was told today I need to be willing to work late on Friday (we normally finish early), so I think she will have little patience with a GP visit.

    She'll have patience when you're off 2 weeks because it got infected.

    I get statutory sick pay only, so I could not afford two weeks off sick - I can do some work from home tho, so at worst I could WFH if I could not drive.

    Right....bit of a random question prompted by Lizzie's post earlier this evening. Do any of you have a TEFL/CELTA qualification?(teaching English as a foreign language). I am looking to qualify in something that would be useful if I decided to emigrate in a couple of years time (HK for those 'in the know')? I am not qualified beyond A level, but English was one of those.

    Hi Suzy, my brother took a TEFL, he did in Spain, cost him £1000 approx and has worked in many places, him and his partner settled for a while in Malaysia until she fell PG so they're now in France but he's still teaching english there, he's had no problem finding work but he said to work in HK,China etc you need experience 1st, I think 2 yrs but I could be wrong. He has a friend who is currently teaching in Tokoyo(sp)

    In other news, my Nan passed away last Thurs, tis very sad but she did suffer towards the end so I'm glad she's at peace. So that's my connection to Poole gone, will just have to visit BB instead :p
