    getting a bit picky arent you:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: you have to take us as we are - we are giving up flying for this so we come as we are - pj's, suits, aprons, dodgy paintwork, grubby gardeners, fishy tales, cat combers, dog walkers, toddler tamers, retired secret agents, teachers, bankers and aunti june cobbley and all:rotfl::p

    Sandy I had my hair cut yesterday so I am not moulting - I am another needing a wheel chair pusher - I rather like my elbows BTW! Honey its not too late to ask someone to go with you i am sure - there is bound to be someone in the family that would go - even your mother (despite what I know about your feelings for her!!) You need someone to distract you and she might be the right person this time? And it would save you having to explain to her about it all. LW I hope we have time for a quick tour - i have never been to York.

    Sorry, I was just thinking of you lot, the neuro might be good looking;)
    There isn't anyone to go with me, my mum lives 80 miles away and I haven't told her any of this, I want to know what we are dealing with first.
    When I said there was family here there is only one person. She is my Godmother but she is like family. She is looking after her twin GD's tomorrow so she can't come.
    I will be fine I'm sure.

    I finished hoovering the stairs and had a major hot flush and had to sit down. I've just taken some more tablets and once we've put Ds2 to bed i'm not planning on doing anything else tonight. I hate feeling like this i've got so little energy it's pathetic.:cool:


    I know what you mean - I woke up this morning with a dodgy stomach and blamed the take away last night. Phoned work and 4 other staff have a tummy bug. After spending the best part of the day in bed I now feel really rough, but started to eat again. Hopefully back to work tomorrow, but I'll wait until after breakfast in the morning before I make a decision.

    Not sure if I should complain to Vodaphone...went to renew my contract in store today...I have been a customer for 12 years.....I pay for 2 contract phones...always paid on time..In store today I chose the phone I wanted gave all my details and bank card and they refused:mad::mad: unless I take in a passport...just ran out....a driving licence...dont drive...or a provisional...dont have one....Could understand if I was a new customer but they have all my details on file anyway

    I would definitely complain. Just don't fall for the same thing as me. I complained to T-mobile and said that I was considering terminating my contract. The apparently very understanding customer service guy pretended to offer a special deal to make up for their mistake and I accepted - only to find the same deal open to all customers on the website.
