    Alternatively, why don't you get to casualty now before the Friday night rush.

    If it's broken, they'll fix it. Waiting until morning isn't going to fix it.

    If it isn't broken, they'll stick a support bandage on it, and you'll get a better night's sleep.

    Going to casualty is a win-win situation...

    thanks im a coward:eek: i hate hospitals.

    You have my sympathy. Just as we were getting back on track, the car died on Wednesday in the middle of the motorway and we have to find the money to buy another one :(
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    i know what you mean! my OH has torn a muscle in his back and been off work for a month, to get full pay he needed to have been there for 3 years and he's only done 1 so he gets sick pay instead:mad: we're already on a tight budget after a big drop in child tax credit so the next few weeks will be dreadful:mad: something like this always happens just when you thought you were doing ok and on track!
    you have my sympathy;)
