:tu: I always give mine a quick run before it's needed, any problems then get sorted before the cold weather hits.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Mine came of for a few minutes one day last week.
Its been close to triggering since then, but not actually come on.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Mines on now. Radiators are luke warm.

I was so nervous going to the doctor's today to get a mole on my forehead checked out, he looked at it and told me 100% it wasn't dodgy, so I left with a huge weight off my shoulders removed.

I also took the opportunity to discuss my high blood pressure as they never got back to me so I now have to take 1 pill a day, let's see how that turns out.

This is my first ever on going prescription I have ever taken.

what! he removed your head as a precaution :shocked:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

It took a while for them to sort my blood pressure. Like you I started on 1 medication which didn't bring it down enough, so they doubled the dose but that didn't agree with me. They ended up adding a second medication and returning the first to the original dose. They subsequently increased the dose of the second medication alongside the original dose/medication and since then everything's been spot on.

I'm hoping mine will be straight forward, I'll take readings again in 2 weeks.

I knew my wording was going to get a laugh but you got there before our resident comedian Carth did!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Weird, thats exactly how mine went as well. :)

I think it's pretty common, they start with the cheapest stuff and if it works great. No point using more expensive if they don't need to.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I guess I'm on the cheapest stuff and hoping I don't turn into a zombie like it made my work colleague, been on it 6hrs so I'm a little paranoid about side effects.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

On looking up prices, the one I started on seems to be more expensive.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread

I creak when I walk, does that count? ;)
