Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
I'm getting really really peeved by the firm chosen by my insurer to repair my car.They have just got to my car and will be hopefully finished with it on a later date than they originally gave me.That's 3 weeks I've been waiting.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
I require blank DVDs. A site I found on google offered them with "free postage on orders over £25, £5.95 under £25" on a banner across the top of the first page.
I went to the site and added enough to take the order over £25 (before VAT). On checking the basket, I saw that it had added £9.95 for postage. I tried various quantities from a single pack to 10 packs, and the £9.95 postage fee remained.
I emailed them and was told that their postage was a standard £9.95. I had added the banner offering free postage to the email, but they just replied that it was "an old banner".
Off I went to several other sites, and £5.95 is their standard postage, but many add a few quid more for "heavy orders".

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
I ordered a cat flea treatment from ebay. What has turned-up is a much inferior version of what I paid for.
There had been no negative reports from the seller when I did the order, but today I saw a whole list of people complaining that they have received the same.
Ebay has sent me a QR code to send the order back.
I did note that the seller had both types of the product on their seller's page, but the good one is now out of stock. I suspect the seller was trying to get one over on it's customers.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
Day three of trying to reduce my migraine medication, and I can feel one coming on. Hopefully it's just a coincidence but it's been many weeks since my last one so a bit fed up. Have to see how I feel tomorrow.

The local branch of our bank has moved to Truro, cue Mr T having to spend the morning going there as he has forgotten his PIN and is locked out of our account because he has tried too many times with the wrong PIN.

I've done that a couple of times, pain in the bum and our bank is only a mile away. I now keep it as the last part of a local phone number for a local tradesman. I just have to try to rememer what his name is now.

Thanks for the kind words. Just got that strange washed out feeling which migraine sufferers will know. Could be worse as in the past it could take 2 sometimes 3 days to get to feeling like this.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
Not a good day
Docs app prostate exam and urine test. Blood in urine and enlarged prostate. Not the best results for my anxiety but still could be just a UTI and normal 54 year old golf ball. Antibiotics for a week, PSA bloods next week followed by docs app on the 6th for further urine test for blood and results. If blood is still there then it is refer to urology

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
Hope the antibiotic sort you out Jay.
Just in case this is relevant ... My husband has had DREs and antibiotics for UTI/sepsis ... If you have had a physical prostate examination or a UTI then any elevation of your PSA figures is too be expected for up to 6 weeks after the DRE and also 6 weeks after the UTI infection is cleared up so don't panic. Like John did.
Not saying GP's aren't all aware of these effects but you knowing could, maybe, keep your stress levels down.
PM me if you feel like a natter.

<<hugs>> Don't let all this derail all your good work with your weightloss. I just want you to think UTI rather than anything else and ignore any GP inspired stress. Step away from the carbs young man.

It;s all too technical for me Jay, but I wish you all the best for a positive outcome.
