Can't wait to meet some more people off this site. And meeting Dodger again too 😉.
Not too happy about the 6 hour round trip though. Will have to get a few magazines and take some cards, so that we can play. Luckily we've got a table both ways. But we'll have to be quiet on the way there, as the only table available was in the quiet carriage, so I guess no card playing then.

Brightontez - do you still want to meet outside WH Smiths?
 
Two things

1. there is more than a week lol:D
2. I'm allready here :D

1. I think you'll find that in the standard week, in a week's time it will have happened yesterday! 🙂

2. Will I recognise you by your blue suit, shirt, tie and socks? 😉

1. OK, I'll concede that! It's because I will be away next Saturday that my brain was fixated on it! 😱🙄😱
 
I don't actually think I possess anything blue! Perhaps I should buy a Birmingham City shirt? 😱

Behave you don't want to do that now do you. A blue suit with a touch of claret would be nice though.
 
Suit????

OMG - next thing you know somebody will suggest the ladies wear skirts .......

😱

Am still thinking I will probably turn up Northie, providing the week after next goes OK (First Pump clinic on Weds = first A1c post pump, ooer. Followed by nnual MOT at GP surgery on Friday. That one usually makes me fairly incandescent with rage due to the hosp and the GP 'apparently' having no communication with each other. GP reckons he can't see the test results the hospital get. Well tough luck chum, from now on! Hosp now look after my diabetes as far as I am concerned and I only get my prescriptions for it from you .....)
 
Not coming to this one folks. Going to university that day so I need to preserve my liver. Have a few for me!

Thats exactly what my doc says about any results the Princess Royal Hospital may hold about me...wtf is that about? So the surgery has made me waste my time and go in for a second blood test just for their HBA1c result which I did 2 weeks previous for the hospital. For gods sake, like my work enjoy me taking time off!!! And for exactly the reason you mention, so they can 'authorise' my prescriptions and add their two-peneth nugget of knowledge which as far as I am concerned they could write on the back of a fag packet!!! No thanks, I want to be seen by the main man cheers!
