    Phew!

    I was just about clip the snow fairy's wings. I was obviously not looking out of the window at the precise second the precious flake fluttered to earth.

    You are forgiven.

    Who lift us to our feet when our wings
    Have trouble remembering how to fly.

    Hi fuddle Never mind what all the letters mean it's what they are for that counts. If you watch Casualty you will hear the doctors ask for them for every patient.

    The are the standard tests they ask for. We all have them done every year.
    They have tested your kidney function, your liver function, they iron in your blood, and your blood glucose. They are the cheapest and easiest to do. They pick up diabetes often, anaemia and a few other things we may have that often don't show. Any problems they do the more expensive specific tests. If you are seeing a doctor at a clinic you will have these regularly. Nothing to worry about.

    Just one needle and 3 little bottles from the one. It is not as much as lit looks. I have these every six weeks. They get the results in less than an hour but I expect at your GPs they send them to the hospital to do the tests.

    I have been to see the Macmillan lady she is filling it all in and they will contact my doctor or the hospital. She says she can see no reason why I should not get it and I will be £83 a week better off and I will come in for more benefits.

    Monna we had your weather yesterday it is bight sunshine today.

    Phew, just got locked out of the forum with this message:

    'Your password is 4166 days old, and has therefore expired.
    Please change your password using this page."

    I couldn't make it believe my old password. Once you are locked out you can't even rejoin. Luckily it accepted my password from the keychain (Apple) and I managed to get in again.

    I never realised how much I would miss the four threads I read.
  • I got locked out as well with similar message and had to change my password twice before it would let me back in.
