    What a day yesterday, took 2hrs to get to hospital on the bus, saw the pastic trauma unit surgeon, he had big trouble realigning the bones, but after lots of pulling and tugging and sqeezing (and me nearly passing out) he managed to realign them, ive now got an even bigger cast with lots less movement, i will have to go back in 2 weeks for it to be looked at again, because if it hasnt set correctly i will have to be admitted for surgery...fingers crossed that they set ok..

    then on the way home on the bus, the bus pulls into a bus stop and CRASHES into the bus shelter, pulling of part of the roof of the shelter and pulled the mirrors of the coach. we then had to wait for a replacement bus because it wasnt drivable.

    things can only get better.

    ive had a quick scan read of yesterday....Hows alfie today

    OMG :eek::eek:

    Morning lovelies.......

    Just dropped my DD at hospital for an appointment to check that he's well enough for a heart procedure to be done on friday, which he needs so they can then repair a double hernia he's been in agony for months.... so hoping all goes well for him.

    Hope everything goes well for your DD.

    Just back from Mr T's with Mum and picked DD up from hospital on way home.....
    All went well at hosp thanks to those that have mentioned it. It's a go for friday for his heart procedure, then hopefully not too long a wait for the herniers. He such a stubborn ol git and always wanting to do things himself, and we are worried about him doing too much whilst still in so much pain.

    Mum brought a book at Mr T's..... £4.50 sticker on front, went through till at £5...... Of course I went to CS for my double the difference, but was handed 50p!!!!! I mentioned the double difference policy and was told 'Oh, we don't do that on this kind of thing'. Hmmmmm, I thought it was 'store' policy, not 'item specific' policy..... Would anyone else feel an 0800 phone call coming on???? On the principle of the thing of course. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    On way from there to hospital on the by-pass I just managed to avoid the worst of, but hit the edge of, a major pot hole about 1/3 of the way onto the left hand lane..... So there is potential for it to be hit at 70 mph. :eek: I was doing about 60, and it put the car into a bit of a wobble and spooked me a bit, so I also have a fix my street report coming on too....

    Busy busy....... :(

    Was there no sign behind at the desk for you to point to? This happened to me in a metro the other week and I offered the assistant my glasses to read it. I am sure there are no exemptions mentioned on it either :)

    Called into work yesterday for Meeting with the Interim Company taking over
    We all have jobs on certain conditions - they want us to work 6 hour shifts with no breaks :( So lunch hours are covered.
    We have been working all day with a lunch hour & 2 tea breaks so this didn't go well.
    But if we want our jobs ...
    We never had contracts with original jobs but we have to produce one to get taken on :(
    So very very fed up :o:o

    I may be wrong here but I didn't think you could work 6 hours without a break, thought it was around 4.30?

    Have a Google at the Working Time Regulations and I am sure this is covered on the direct gov website.

    Also thought it was illegal not to have a contract of employment but I could be wrong

    No wonder you are fed up :(
