Good luck to all of you who are going through tough times!

Our youngest is allergic to latex and we're constantly having to remind the various doctors and nurses we see as he can't do it for himself. We remain conscious that there are always plenty of people who're worse off than we are however.

But I ALWAYS tell the doctor I'm allergic before they give me pills as they ALL seem to miss that

my doctor looked on my notes and said you are allergic to something I never knew about. I asked if he was sure and he said well it sin your notes

Don't want to sound too confident, but it is now looking like 80% certain I will be given a permanent contract. Apparently good feedback from customers and supervisors, so now to carry on impressing them and hopefully grab that permanent spot.

That would be wonderful news if that happened so fingers crossed for you.

They are very common as they are virtually indestructible and will survive in almost any situation. A bit like me I hope.

Best of luck with that.

The good thing about having such a large file is that I can always see it when it's in a pile and the reception never has to hunt around for it amongst all the others. I also have a red star on it which get me to the front of most clinics as I usually have multiple appointments and none of the Consultants appreciates my turning up late having been delayed at the previous appointment.

Sounds like a privilege you'd pay lots for over in the states!

Had my hours increaaed today from 20 a week to 30. Now doing same 5 days, but with hours of 10 to 4. Get a 20 minute break during the shift, so am thinking of doing 10 through to 1 and then take my break. Starting tomorrow. Also will be put into warehouse to help them get it into shape, they had a visit from the big bosses yesterday and I think they got a bollocking for the poor state of the warehouse.

Congratulations Mark. Sounds as though your employers appreciate what you can do.

Yep, and apparently it is now a straight fight between me and another girl on work placement as to who will get a permanent spot. I feel that we both are actually just as good, and as they have around 5 permanent slots to fill that could bode well for us. But we also have 6 seasonal staff and another 2 work placement people coming in who will be fighting it out for those slots as well.

So I need to get my head down, help them get the warehouse into shape and hopefully land a permanent spot. Wouldn't mind being in warehouse permanently.
