Nice people thread part 8 - worth the wait

Hello Nice People..no quotes please as I will edit.

I thought I had had a frustrating day, another meeting on IOW and too much of the day travelling so I need to work this evening.


In the great scheme of things my day was a walk in the park and I wish wih all my heart that the family and all caught up in this , includng my husband, had also had only a frustrating day.

Oh spirit, what a year you are having. The spirit household must be feeling so keenly aware of mortality this year.

I have enough till next week ( because I have planned ahead )

Really embarrassingly its mainly I think because I feel accused of being a druggy and also being spoken to condescendingly. I should be big enough to laugh that off. I'm really glad I happened to answer on speaker phone so resident parent heard, otherwise I would feel totally paranoid. Resident parent wants to 'write a letter' and I just said ...that's how it always is.......



I think I'm ok again now . I just felt a bit 'run, run, run away from the doctors, fast'. .

COMPLAIN.

This is way out of line. My brother (who is not straight forward at all) had forgotten some of his meds whilst away from home. made an emergency GP appt for him and took him to see a (locum) Dr. Locum laid into him making all sorts of judgements. Brother left the consulting room without meds...

To cut a long story short..another GP gave him the meds..I complained..GP surgery followed it up with agency..Locum black listed by local surgery .

Pastures,

I saw these beautiful tiles today and thought of you. They look. Best in a mixed colour way IMO, like random ly found on beach but I haven't found hem on website yet to show you like that.

I which I'd based a bathroom around them!

Oh, here are more

I am having a last minute tile rethink. Trying to save money. I hate to be practical and I love those split face tiles so much. Nice builder and I are going to tops tiles tomorrow. He's hoping to show me a whole new world of mass purchase power.

It's the neurologist at fault firstly, for not communicating (if she has jot) then the pharmacy clerk I think. Or surgery....I don't see why the aren't seeing what hospital issued (it says on form for renewals who issued it etc...all details are given) The reception staff may have got it wrong, they often do.....they got something else quite significant wrong recently but I cannot remember what. .

Tbh. Every single prescription DH gets from the surgery has a mistake.

The problem with rural practises is there is so little choice,


ATM I do not feel on even enough of a keel to complain tbh. . I just think I will end up feeling more .....disillusioned, more like running. I think the nuerologist has not written because I think I get a copy to, NHs? And I still don't know what I am taking these wretched pills for. I swear they make it hurt to think:T.

I am getting through all these posts. More hugs to Sue as I follow more of the story of the school's abysmal failure to provide for youngest's needs.

My DD has finished her PGCE and she has found herself a job! :j:j

Not too shabby, as she teaches RE and that's hardly flavour of the month.

Yay! Belated congrats to her.

Maybe that's my problem, I don't know any teenage boys aged 13-15... Except of course those that have been studying in my library and walking up to them and asking their hygene preferences may get me sacked!

I just recall the whole don't use aerosols thing of about 15-20 years ago when we chucked everything out and moved to trigger sprays and sticks instead so I was really surprised to find out how ubiquitous these things are. What happened to the whole teen angst save the planet thing;)? DH doesn't like roll ons but does use stick type. He is not particularly hairy though, so that may have something to do with it.

I'm with lir on preferring a roll-on to a stick on the grounds that something that goes on wet feels irrationally as though it should be more effective. No idea how I would feel about them if I had hair that was relevant to the question. DS has an aerosol. It seems to work. I have no idea whether he's got hair or if so how much.

Didn't CFCs get banned years ago? I thought they were the main concern for the ozone layer? (Just thought - we don't hear so much about that any more do we? its all greenhouse gasses and global warming/ climate change since we realised we're not going to become a desert, more of a swamp!)

Yes, they did. As soon as somebody developed a workable CFC-free aerosol propellant, CFCs got banned, all aerosols went over to the new stuff, and we all forgot about the ozone layer. I think I remember reading somewhere that now we've stopped attacking it with CFCs it's gradually replenishing itself.

Lydia.....ploughing through old news is all well and good, but how are you and the sunshine kid and the brilliant boy? Gosh.....it's just stuck me he's nearing his end of first year at the new school. Has it been a successful first year do you think? How is he feeling about it?

That tile is not what I would choose ideally. It's ceramic, not stone. It's white, not stone white. But it's a lot cheaper than the split face tile.


It's going to be easier to take care of. Hmmm.

I understand you feel you've no choiie due to where you live but if you could complain, lir, you should. It's bad enough being ill without being treated so shabbily.

I just feel a bit 'all strung out zag' I have some other persona issues ATM, and its amazing how draining trying to choose shower valves is proving . (Seriously, I have been looking on and off all day and my head is belting I just cannot work it out despite the plumber explaining it twice and the plum base man explaining it again) and now the tile thing......I know it sounds pathetic, but I really feel a bit fragile. We have all this court crud going on at the same time, I also found out today I have an appointment the hospital (also NHs) had not told me about because I called to ask if I could possibly coordinate it with one of the three upcoming ones I know I have to have at the same hospital (private) as its very quick. These unexpecteds are forsaking me, because while I KNOW they are not me, I cannot help feeling like they might be,


I have the particular issue of phobia with the GP, and I just feel if I enter into a contentious situation ATM I might start acting like a prat and run and hide again for a while.

The duty GP did call now, has issued the prescription, but even that bothers me:eek: he issued it not because they have the letter but because they have no reason to disbelieve me and its a fairly obscure thing to ask for. However, I was in tears and its covered I warnings about suicide and depression so now I feel like he should have said, 'I'm concern you are upset about this though' or something. Instead he just kept saying 'its ok, I have issued the prescription, there is no need to make a fuss or to be upset.' And 'I have madei it ok'. He didn't understand that my concern is not just the pills but my access to them, and what's going on with my notes and why the procedures aren't working as they are meant to, and that i was misinformed by reception and then spoken poorly to by pharmacy clerk. When I already feel, frankly, confused and vulnerable.
