Hospital was interesting today. It was all about choosing what type of dialysis and where I want to do it. Estimated start time three - six months. I begin transplant suitability tests after six months. If my repaired heart is strong enough I can go for a kidney / pancreas combo which would be nice 
As for pain killers I'm pretty limited to paracetamol .

If you're looking for a new machine, I would recommend a Beko unit. Speaking to a friend of mine who's a domestic appliance engineer he said they sold tons of them and got very, very few back (1-2%). My own one is a £200 job I bought two years ago, and still uses an indirect motor and belt drive (i.e. proven technology).

Thanks for that input. I'll be checking up on the reliability of the brands in due course.

Got three missed calls logged on my mobile from 08446480246. Never heard it ring. Apparently it's a scam: The phone barely rings before they hang up, if you call back then they hit you with a monster premium rate so I've added it to the blocked list.
Be warned.

Grr! Hampshire County Council road works division.Sent a letter insisting that they wanted our road clear today for 'drain clearance' and they haven't appeared. Phoned up to ask why and no one at CS can get through to the group responsible.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Mother's Day. My Nan is fine, got her present sorted. But my mum? Bloody Hell she is murder to buy for. Stuff I know she likes will be stuff everyone else buys so I want something unique. But unique stuff is hard to come by that she will like, and a bunch of flowers just seems a bit 'I can't be bothered to find a present'.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
My partner went out to the car earlier and there is a dent and a few scratches on the side of the car.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Yes its going to cost us £100 plus at the very least as we don't expect the guilty party to come forward anytime soon.

Your Mum is very lucky to have a son who puts so much thought into her gift. I know what I will be getting as the wee always gets me Tulips on Mother's day and his big brother gets me wine tbh I think most Mum's would be happy with a card and I Love You, I know I would.

Sorry to hear that den. Just a thought do you know if any cctv is around the area where you parked your car.

I get my mum a big soppy card. My two sisters send flowers. If I can I try to go and visit but 300 miles is not just next door.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Might be wise just to leave it Den - you never know when the next scrape is around the corner sadly. If you're keen to have it done, some of those mobile 'chips away' type companies do an excellent job far cheaper than your average garage and they'll come to you.

I don't have that problem, I get her to tell me if she see anything she likes to buy it and I give her the money back, or I get my sister to buy clother etc for her.
