All the best Den. Glad to hear it went well. :tu:

Thanks everybody for your kind wishes.:tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm really not sure how long I can keep doing dialysis- it's really getting on my carrot!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

How many times do you do it in a week dilli? as my late uncle used to have it 3 times a week and often found it very gruelling himself.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yup three times a week.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Is it about 4 hours a time as that is what my uncle used to have to do.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Four at the moment but increasing soon

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Chin up Dilli. :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That is a lot for anybody to cope with.:(:ghugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Unless they're Marmite charged... :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

First morning I have been able to have a lie in and woken at 7:30 by the phone ringing. Early morning calls at the moment have my heart racing.

A male caller said my internet was being cut off due to non-payment!!!!!!

01614290846 Scammers make me soooooo cross.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry to hear about this jo as have you got a facility for restricting unwanted calls? so that you only get phone calls from people you know..

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Report the number to the Information Commissioner. https://ico.org.uk/concerns/marketin...uisance-calls/

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We have now had a further 3 more calls and I am afraid I let John loose on the last one. Never realised he knew so many swear words but it did seem to work as a great stress reliever for him. :rofl:

Never bothered to get a call blocker up to now as we only ever had spam calls later in the day before and I normally enjoy winding the blighters up but, using what I assume is some kind of spoof UK phone number to hide the location of the call centre and then, calling at a time when a lot of people could be caught off guard makes me think this may be the time to look into some form of solution.

:tu: First thing I did after I checked out the number. I don't expect they will be able to do much as I am 100% sure the call wasn't from BT and I assume it originated from an overseas call centre.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Where does time go? My week off, finished. Ugh. Back to the grind tomorrow.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Glad all is well Den, Did you not get put to sleep? I get one of these every two years but I get knocked out,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

No they would rather not put me to sleep because of my medical conditions nash so l was well awake sadly for everybody around me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Bloody patient transport picking me up at 10.30 instead of 6.30...... no reason or apology given. So I'm stuck here in dialysis without food or tea until after four.

I'm quite irritated.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear about that dilli.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

When someone you have admired and looked up too all your life, lets you down time after time it suddenly hits you that they have always been a selfish self centered person and all the years you thought they were fantastic were seen through rose tinted glasses and wee sister eyes, it is only now that you realise everyone was right about them and the only reason they never said anything to you before was out of respect for you. I feel such a fool that I still believed that she would eventually take on some sort of responsibility and would share the hospital visits, shopping tasks etc
The more I see of who this person is the more I realise it is someone I never knew, well as they say there is no fool like a old fool and what a fool I have been in believing right up to last night that she would come good when push comes to shove! How wrong I was.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My Dad as my Mum has just phoned me up to say Dad has had a severe nose bleed this morning for 40 minutes so l have told her to phone the doctor forthwith as he is feeling nauseous as well.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Den I hope your Dad will be okay, take care weenie x

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes so do l as he has had TIA's and suffer from other health problems as a result of the Falklands war and his ship being hit weenie.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

At least you know now, better late than never, don't beat yourself up it's her fault not yours

Hope your dad's okay

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@weenie, hopefully things improve. Always sad when you realise that you cannot make excuses for people any more.

@den, hope things improve ASAP.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Don't beat yourself up, your sister is not worth it. I know which of the two of you I admire and who I would choose to have as a daughter or friend, YOU.

It sounds as though you have people who respect you enough to have wanted to protect you in the past and it is those same people who can counsel you in the future. At least you now know where you stand and you can move forward without having to take any mind to your sisters opinions and feelings. You have put your parents well being to the top of your list of priorities and that is all that matters. :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry weenie to hear about this as sadly we can pick our friends but we cannot pick our family as sadly as l expect some of us have found out in our own lives so far like you have sadly.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope your Dad is OK by now Den, Weenie you can hold your head up high as you do all you can and more with love and affection,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I caught a driving instructor on dashcam Driving with one hand out of the car with a cigarette in his hand.

So driving without due care and attention then.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Dad has seen the doctor and has been checked over although the doctor wants him to have a brain scan at the local hospital just to make sure nothing is untoward..

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just discovered I have lost one of my gold diamond earrings , searching the house but I may have lost it outside , Really annoyed ,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I thank everyone for there kind words and support.

@ den glad the doctor is getting your Dad checked out as you can never be to careful.

@ nash I hope you find your earring.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope you Dad gets his scan and that it is clear, Just found my ear ring at the side of the bed. The Spring had come loose and the jeweller said he can fix them. , I know this is nothing compared to your worry Den ,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You can add mine to the list. :tu: Two of my siblings would rank on the same level as yours albeit for different reasons. Thankfully I ceased any contact with my sister years ago after she showed her true colours after I lost my wife. I finally called out my brother's longstanding and utterly selfish behaviour after my father died last year and he tried tried to pull the same old stunt yet again. It's best not to lose a minute's sleep over people like that weenie - concentrate on your real loved ones. :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

A wasted 400 mile round trip to The National Archive today - as they didn't have what I was looking for!

Cheers

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Ouch, I take it that you checked in the discovery catalogue beforehand. What were the access conditions and arrangements out of interest if you dont mind me asking?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Deed poll - one of the few things that you can't view on line! So it's a case of turn up and check the index with your fingers crossed. Could have asked them to check for us and would have happily paid the fee but really needed to know today hence the drive down.

Not all bad though as I went in Mrs G's new MX5 which was the days silver lining.

Cheers

Grim

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Ah what a nightmare. Nothing in the London Gazette then?

Glad you found an enjoyable way to drive through Central London!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sadly Dad was taken to the hospital around 04.00 this morning as he has had another significant nose bleed as Mum has just phoned us up so we are all just hoping and praying that everything will be alright nash as they are doing the brain scan and other tests today now.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Does she know you call her Mrs Grim :shocked: :D

Good luck, hope it's not as bad as you fear

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh yes. You should hear what she calls me - certainly couldn't repeat it on a family friendly forum like this ;)

Cheers

Grim

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Fingers crossed Den. :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Fingers crossed everything is ok den :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The NHS

Due to have my pre surgical assement on the 22nd. I'd orginally told them i was away next week on a business trip and not returning to the UK until lunchtime on the 20th

Yesterday i get a letter saying my surgery has been moved up to the 21st.

I ring the consultants secretary first thing this morning to say, how can my surgery be on the 21st when my assessment is on the 22nd. She says dont worry about it

I then get a letter this morning saying my pre surgical assessment is on the 20th at 08:00am. I dont get into Heathrow until 06:30

tl:dr operation cancelled due to bumbling incompetence

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Good luck to your dad, Den. :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Mum is phoning me later as the scan is for this afternoon so fingers crossed.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

People who walk towards you then, seconds after you've changed course to avoid them, move in the same direction... :doh:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oops sorry :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Work. Since Saturday night when I got a solid 8 hour sleep, I have had a grand total of 7 hours sleep. Ugh and now on just 2 hours sleep today, have to count overnight in Southampton.

Good luck den.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just had a phone call from Mum and his brain scan is clear thankfully but his blood pressure is higher then it should be so they think his nose bleeds could be down to that so he is staying overnight in hospital for observation.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Add to that people how stop dead after leaving a shop, and light up a cigarette, and when you walk into them with a buggy you are to blame.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Or stop for a bloody chat at the top/bottom of escalators...

Then there's those people you stop to hold the door open for who dither around and don't even say thank you. Grrr....

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Will be thinking of you all Den, Hope all goes well

---------- Post added at 14:35 ---------- Previous post was at 14:33 ----------

Hope they get the blood pressure controlled now Den,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That's excellent news den, BP can be controlled thankfully. Hopefully the nosebleeds should stop now.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Dad is now home now resting as they have increased his blood pressure tablets dose in the hope that the nose bleeds will stop so we hope that works.

Thanks everybody for your kind wishes.:tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

....and it didn't improve all week!


Oh and my current moan is people in power behaving like gits. Especially when these people should know better.

@den glad you got some good news re your dad :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Drove down to Waitrose to-day for a couple of items and the machine that gives you your hand held scanner has stopped working. OK I will go over the otherside of the town to Tescos. Got there and go to get the scanner out. The stupid machine promptly demands my postcode. (must be something new) Can I get it in of course not!!! grrr fortunately helpful Tesco employer manages to do it while saying this one is known to play up.

Only problem left is trying to find the skimmed milk finally realise that they keep it away from the normal milk have it with the the more expensive milk.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope that is the last of the nose bleeds Den

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Actually we have just been talking to Mum and he has had a slight nose bleed this morning.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Maybe because it is only slight the blood pressure will be coming down, Den

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes perhaps nash as he is still gets headaches and other things which are due to his ship being hit in the Falklands war so sadly it affects him quite a bit even 30 odd years later.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@ den I hope your Dad is okay now.

Not really a moan taking Mum to hospital tomorrow not that I mind but the parking is awful even with a blue badge, parking is the hardest part about taking Mum to hospital the parking is a utter nightmare and what grinds me is that many people park in the disabled spaces don't seem to have a blue badge or if they do they fail to display it. All the hospitals Mum attends seem to have this problem whether it's Wishaw, Hairmyres or Monkland's they seem to have the same issues when it comes to parking IMO, but I do have a chuckle when I see the sticker on a vehicle parked on the pavement saying warning do not park here as I'm sure they must be a nightmare to remove.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Dad is picking up slowly now Weenie praise be to god.

Yes l know what you mean as we have exactly the same problem at the hospital l go to as some have no disabled blue badge's at all and we end up waiting 20 to 30 minutes waiting for a spot to present itself to us and that is the reason why we arrive much earlier to the hospital for my appointment so we can get a spot.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Ok Den Understand what you are saying.

---------- Post added at 15:40 ---------- Previous post was at 15:38 ----------

The new Queen Elizabeth or Southern General as I still call it. Is a nightmare for parking too Weenie

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Transport again! I cannot believe a company can be so incompetent.

I'm so angry I could crush a grape!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear of your constant transport travails dilli as its simply not good enough IMO.:td:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You really don't need more hassle after treatment I tell you. Still I've put in a complaint so hopefully it'll improve.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l remember when l was going to London dilli l would be waiting hours and hours for the transport to arrive even though l was extremely dog tired after a long day of tests and treatment and a lot of the time l would be lucky to get back to Devon before the late evening thus sometimes the day from start to finish before l got back was l had been on the go for 17 hours which is extremely gruelling mentally and physically and the transport company did not care two hoots sadly.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just received the Council Tax Bill and they have a fantastic new idea. They want you to go online and go paperless! Which really means that if I want hardcopy then I have to print it. All this for 2 sheets of paper and a Refuse Collection schedule. Is it worth it?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Everyone does not have a computer , my friend had a fight to get an appointment to see someone in the council to fill her form for a Blue Badge, They said " you must have a friend with P C to help you, The point is why should she let other people know her business, It was never like this before

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Ugh. A great week ruined last night. I was being signed off on produce, the fruit and veg side of things, which if it happened meant I would be in charge of produce. Yeah. That was OK until last night where in 1 tag I failed to check underneath the crates on the bottom shelf and missed 2 whole crates, and on another tag missed a whole shelf of grapes AND missed 3 whole crates.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm sad, but I have now come to the reluctant conclusion that I need to make a formal complaint against my manager for bullying.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

What have they done?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I would imagine it would be unwise to publish that on a forum.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

All I will say is that it is an accumulation of lots of small things, which on their own people might just say is not bullying but when it only happens to one person and has built up over 6 months then I think a bullying complaint is justified.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My best friend is in bits, and there is nothing I can do to help him. His mum was rushed to hospital last night with breathing problems and the doctors have told him and his dad that there is a chance she won't come out of hospital. I wish I knew what to say to him.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

As long as you tell him that you will be there for him He will understand. So sad for all

I can log in to the xbox 360 but not the xbox one, I guess the One is dead.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Have you done a hard reset by holding the power button down for 10 seconds on the console?

All this does is make the console do a clean boot you wont lose anything.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I logged into my One yesterday Hom3r. Try the hard reset, it worked for me when mine froze last month.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The scanners at work. It has been known for months now that they are useless and need replacing, yet they will not spend the money to purchase new equipment. Tight is not even close to describing them.

Mr T has the dreaded lurgy been coughing no stop since Sunday. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Has he taken anything for it Tinky?.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

No Den only paracetamol at night to help him sleep, he was up 3.30 making himself a hot chocolate. If he is no better soon I will make an appointment with the Doc for him.

PS Hope your Dad is keeping better Den.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes as we have told our family up the line in that sometimes the elders of the family can be pretty obstinate to say the least Tinky when they are not well so we have told them if you think he needs to see the doc then it is imperative that you take charge and not let the stubborn bugger fob you off and make the appointment for them no matter what he says.

---------- Post added at 08:32 ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 ----------

Thankfully praise be to god he has improved quite a bit in these past few days and last night they even went out for a meal with the baby of the family.:)

Yes you've got him down to a t Den stubborn and dogmatic..........or is that the same thing?

So glad your Dad is feeling better. :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Certainly stubborn and well there are a lot of dogmatic type meanings Tinky so l will leave it to you to see if any of those apply to Mr T.;)
