    On the topic of the epilators, I was fortunate (if you can call it that :D) to obtain one of the 'special packaging' Braun ones from Mr T..... it's a little painful the first few times, but does get easier......
    I know what a painful epilator is like.... I originally started with one of the 'free if you spend £XX' in the Avon book. So it was a cheapo, and YES, it hurt like hell..... the Braun feels more like using a razor in comparison......
    My advise, don't get a cheap type just to 'try it out'! :eek:

    After those 2 years you specialise in a particular field of Medicine and that will be your chosen career; so that would be specialties such as general surgey, general practice, A&E, general medicine, paediatrics, obs and gynae etc. Each specialty has its own training path and the number of years can vary from 3 to 10 years!

    :eek::eek:

    Oh right, so the training never really ends then.:eek: At the end of his second year can he move from the hospital he is at now or does he have to stay there. I'll never get why he chose the hospital he chose though...:s

    :eek::eek: You need a better hobby HC!

    Hi Elsie haven't seen you in a long time, guessing you called in when I was having a "break".
    Sorry to be nosy, whats the advice regarding the toys?

    My 'hobby' upped and left to Glasgow.:( :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Not bothered by it though, I save a fortune since he left. What gets me is the way he went about it and the fact he thinks he can just ignore me when he owes me money.:(

    Ah well.

    Hello again everyone….. and Good evening! :beer:

    So long since I last signed in, just the occasional flying visit for a quick lurk…. Now I feel guilty though, as about 5 weeks ago I received a PM from Izzeyb asking if all was ok….. and due to not signing in I hadn’t seen it until today :eek: when I logged in to add a quick bit of advice on the Mr T (we won’t let you have those cheap toys you ordered) thread! :cool:

    So a massive thank you goes out to Izzey for thinking of me. XXX

    Anyway, I’ve had a read of the best part of today’s posts, which has helped me catch up on a few things……

    Firstly, how can think of more words to add to those already said to 3Dogs and Alan….. all I can do is send my warmest hugs to you both, my thoughts, along with loads of others on here are sent to you. XXX

    karen3112 and[FONT=&quot]Tinyshoes[/FONT], I am also thinking of you both XXX….. For my Mum it seemed like such a long wait, and scan after scan and test after test, but she is finally in hospital this week getting radiotherapy along with chemo, then it’s more weeks of chemo followed by another of radio…. So here, we are still hoping for a positive outcome.

    [FONT=&quot]Fudge_Cake[/FONT], Your awesome messages mentioning everybody, amaizing! They have helped me feel like I’m back on track! I really don’t know how you manage it.

    Karlie88….. defo burnt orange.


    Was it you earlier Karlie who said the mullers x6 didn't price match? Anybody know if they do now please? Otherwise the trouting I got earlier defo won't be worth the effort!!!! :mad:


    BTW, hugs to anyone else that need them too..... :grouphug:

    :j:j Elsie!!! :j:j Welcome back :hello:

    Thank you lovely, please stick around, you've been missed :A

    ETA: Sorry Elsie missed the last bit.....I mentioned Mullerice earlier. I had the 6 pack of original/strawberry on a womble and it compared to full price despite it being on offer for £1.50 in A's. Some of the Mullers compare, I know the Greek 6 pack of corners compares. I think JJ said Fruit doesn't compare? Sorry I can't remember 100% :( xx
    It's like a forest in me bum crack, suppose that's what I get for pulling em out whilst board for years on end.:eek:

    No! I don't want him to come back to Aberdeen! Pain in the backside, did nothing but string me along and mess me about for years.:(

    He can stay in Hartlepool for the rest of his days for all I care.

    He keeps texting me now and again but I ignore them, then when I don't reply he messages me on gaydar. I got a text from him the other week so I immediately signed out of gaydar and haven't been back on since.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi Beki..... a couple of months back i got a 'cheap' (mis-priced) item on an order, Yodal confirmed it had been delivered to store, even though nothing from Mr T...... I went to collect, but CS desk computer said NO..... According to system item not there as has been 'lost in transit'! Out comes my printout of Yodal delivering to store about 4 hours before.... miraculously after telling a manager I had said printout, he appears with it about 5 mins later! (Strange store, collection items held at back of store, but collected from CS at front of store! Usual Mr T common sense, not!) If Yodal says it's there, take a printout and go and collect ASAP before they can send it back on the next van! May not help those who got cancelled orders, but may help some who have been left hanging, as one or 2 I have seen HAVE been getting items!
    HTH....
    BTW, sorry Karlie, not sure who it was mentioned Mullers then? Anyone know? ;)
