    Popped to Mr T (18 mile round trip) to collect the iron that I'd ordered from the Direct store the other day ..... and it's not there

    Confirmation email stated I could collect after 4pm yesterday ..... not impressed - and TBH absolutely FUMING as it's a total waste of fuel ..... currently on to their Customers Services .....

    ..Well worth pushing for a gift token to cover your fuel costs - I've had success with MrT a couple of times when they've mucked up. ;)

    I've had a goodwill gesture added to my c/card (? not heard of it being done like this before so will have to double check the statement when it comes in!)

    Thanks for all the hospital well wishes everyone :D it's been a long day as I started off with clinic this morning & then had my treatment this afternoon. Had all my drugs changed :eek: which (those who take regular meds will "get" this) is always a bit disconcerting / worrying ... hopefully they'll make a difference though!

    Did manage to have a wee nap while having my treatment - I'm one of these "lucky" people who can sleep literally anywhere:D.

    It's great for things like this but not so great if you're on the train / bus :eek: (yup, have missed my stop before:o).

    There was one girl tho' who just wouldn't shut up and yacked on her mobile (full volume) for around 1/2 an hour and then to anyone who would listen to her the rest of the time ....... and her life sounded worse than East*enders:eek:

    Home now .... shattered!
