Skilled phlebotomy is something else. Peoe used to use paediatric needles on me and I remember first going to the private gp and saying as we prepped for blood sample' 'just to warn you, my body doesn't like giving up.....oh!' because she had already drawn two tubes full!

I don't mind people learning on me either spirit, I am not in the least squeamish about it, so am easier foR them and don't get stressed so it's much better they learn from me than from someone more stressable. (it's their doctor ness I don't like, needles are fine!)

Viva, remmeber you ca take your water warm, .

I think the next NPT will have to be titled the knacker's yard.

We're all dropping like flies

On a more serious note. It does seem that there is a lot of bad "seasonal" illness occurring this year.

Wishing everyone a full and speedy recovery.

I don't think it works like that if your supplier is currently virgin.

and they shut down your email addresses within 90 days.

I have a onetel address that I used when we had dial-up, in about 1994 that is still live. I think talk talk own it now. In theory I could still dial in and use their service so the email address remains live.

Just checked on the virgin website, you don't need a MAC code to leave.

oh, don't know about cable I've only ever had a phone line one to switch and they are easy.

CK sorry to hear of your diagnosis, however you have worked extremely hard to get where you are at now so maybe consider taking a step back, look after yourself as priority and all your business affairs can come second for a change. Having a working week longer than 80 hours will soon take its toll nevermind 100+!

I am similar to yourself on the long hours but I'v 2...might make it 3, weeks off next month and its all that's keeping me going right now! Going to use it wisely. Plenty healthy meals, exercise and low spend as I sort out my first house (completion date currently 7th dec)

Went into it with eyes wide open. There will be years when things are calm and times when tourism takes a hit.

The town itself is a sleepy town on the Med side, so not directly near trouble spots, though rockets can fire in all directions. If there was a direct hit we are insured.

Thoughts are with anyone on either side caught up in it.

while I hope your place is ok, that last sentiment is my overriding one too.

The whole thing is just a horrid, horrid mess, that very few parties in positions of responsibility can hold their heads up about.

So,

I am beginning to wonder.......

We have always felt this house had a really nice 'feeling' a happy ambiance. But doozer's kiddo seems to have spent more time recovering from ailments this year, and now another contractors kid is ill in hospital....l

Diagnosis: too much telly!:beer:

Don't supose anyone remembers the flesh-eating bug scare of 1994?
I read somewhere that the death rate in TV soapland is about 7x greater than real life, every cough or headache's a tumour, etc.etc. If it's in the shot, it's in the plot.
Somebody was complaining soaps might promote depression by exaggerating illness tragedy and death at above-normal levels. :eek:

That people can transmit sick building syndrome to people who haven't spent time in the building themselves?

More than likely kids pick up bugs and some of the time it makes them quite ill. The more people you know, the greater the chance that you will know someone who has an ill child.
