Thank you Lady PO1, I have had laryngitis for about 8 weeks and a cough. It cleared up once over Christmas, but came back beginning of jan. I have been in and out of work trying to work with no voice. I have an underlying lung condition that doesn't cause me a problem but every now and then I have breathing problems , which is what happened last weekend , hence stay in hospital.
I don't do,illnesss well , no patience and am eager to be better , sooner rather than later .This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Have paid the bill for airfare, used the cc I have kept so that is gone. Now just need to see when the new bill needs paying.
