    I've just watched it as well Beanie, it's heartbreaking to see how people are 'living'. Did you see the one last week where the bloke was out hunting rabbits so he could eat and that poor man who could hardly see and had been sanctioned, it's shameful. xx

    Yes it is shameful.
    There has to be a better way.
    I said from day 1 that paying tennents direct would not work.
    Gives me no pleasure to have been proved right.
    Though I believe that has now been improved upon.

    No magic finger tip blood test.
    My chest is clear(!!!) so all viral & so obviously no antiobiotics.

    A bit cheesed of to be honest.

    The only good thing about it is the lack of appetite.

    Am worn out with it all.

    Yes, know what you mean. It's good that it's 'only' viral but a good dose of a/b's if needed and you'd probably have been right as rain in a few days. :o xx
