Oh, dear! And this is just to see a consultant. Don't think the queen has to wait.
Have to wait 20 days to see a consultant , for the treatment 3 months at the 2 private hospitals who take NHS patients. If we go to local NHS hospital it's 9 months.

If we paid privately it would be a few days to see a consultant. I have done that then go to the NHS for the treatment.

I have to give myself an excuse to sit down and hide behind the laptop. It's just soooooo hot! Sorry, MaryMary - you will complain soon, given half a chance when the mercury hit 27c.

Well done, @Upsy Daisy ! I won't buy anything in a hurry as the credit card bill is another £450! Oooops .. Too many trips to McDonalds and nurseries.

Now I know why some men have the fetish of filming ladies' skirts from the ground! :LOL:

20 days to see a consultant is not too bad. Is there any self-cure! I know I am naïve!

He's going with private hospital at edgbaston birmingham,made a appointment for the consultant for the 9th of may, he went onto their website and could choose which one. The hospital here it would have been in November.
No there's no self- cure for it.

Glad that it's all sorted out. Cooked the rhubarbs .. Oh, so sour! It's like taking bitter medicine, putting up with the bad experience, in the belief that the rhubarbs would be good for my health!

Tomorrow it is hoped you wont have to speculate what it is hahahahaha

Do you think I should line the compost bin with weed control fabric guys??? I'm thinking something along the lines of a plasterers mixing tool drill attachment. @alp ..if worst comes to the worst a plain ole pitch fork in there :)

Nope, do not line it with fabric. I know this will go against the grain, but try not to fit the slats too snugly together. :cautious: It should get a bit of airflow.

It doesn't need to rotate, you'll be just fine giving it a stir from time to time. :)
