What are you all up to

Another dreary day ground is now very slippery in places (even with deep grips on my  new boots)  where leaves have turned to mush,

Third hospital appointment today, to see cardiologist this afternoon,after all my records have been "lost" since my blue light "incident"to A&E and our GP has insisted i see the top bod this time,

Do not know if has gone nationwide But our local John Lewis has now gone dog friendly in all departments except the cafe,so another store has realised it makes good commercial sense

We had a day off today and went to Edinburgh/Livingstone. First port of call was Ikea, needed to get some inspiration for the new room upstairs.  Bought a few items but will need to go back for furniture once we have finished the decorating and carpeting.

Then we went to the Livingstone retail outlet place, wasn't impressed with it this time, all the shops are very similar so only bought a new pair of skechers for my next holiday  still no Christmas presents bought 

The day started off wet and misty but by lunchtime it had brightened up and was nice and dry, not cold either at 10c.

JV not sure I share your feelings about dogs in shops, I personally don't like it. As much as I like dogs, shops are not the place for them. Its hard enough to shop with young children running wild and  pushchairs blocking the isles. 

I didn't realise people were boycotting shops due to not being allowed to take their dogs in. I agree with TG. Shops are no place for a dog.

A reasonable day so walked into town to pick up my prescription which they seem to have lost. As I hand delivered it on Monday I know they have it somewhere. Fortunately I have about 10 days left so they are contacting hospital as this is where this prescription comes from!

Anybody else have no connection today? Just glad Welsh Water have managed to find the burst pipe and I can shower before retiring tonight.

I hope all went well with your hospital appointment today JVB and that the top bod was happy with you. Have they found your records yet? I don't think our John Lewis has gone dog friendly yet as I didn't see any sign of any in there today. It might be because it is inside Queensgate shopping Centre and dogs, so far, are not allowed in there apart from assistance dogs.

After much discussion we decided to cancel the dishwasher mechanic today.  We decided that it wasn't financially viable to pay a £90 call out charge and then probably a fairly hefty repair bill for such an old dishwasher.  We went into JL and bought a new one instead.  It arrives on Tuesday. Brue, what I miss most about the dishwasher is that there always seems to be washing up in the sink.  With the dishwasher you can put it all in the machine and it is out of sight.

Good to hear that you've still a few days supply left. The walk back to the collect your prescription when it's ready will do you good!

Our doctor will now e-mail a prescription to any dispensary of our choise, so no need to call in and collect a repeat from the docs, so quite handy.

Same from me too,JVB.

Millie, getting a new dish washer sounds a good plan.How they can warrant a £90 call-out charge is beyond belief. Hope that they deliver it as planned. We don't have a JL in our town hence us using Curry's. At least now a-days they seem to have a good number of knowledgeable assistants in store. 

Nellie - the problem with one of my prescriptions is that the local surgery will not prescribe it under instructions from the Board overseeing all of North Wales. However my consultant doesn't agree so has the hospital pharmacy send me a prescription for 6 months supply. Overseen from the same board! I could collect it from the hospital but the walk is a bit further.

Nellie. We have received a phone call this evening to tell us that they will ring us on Tuesday morning to give us a 2 hour time slot which I thought was very efficient.  I hope all goes well with your washing machine delivery.

Hospital appointment was not what was expected ,there is still no sign of the records of my A&E "visit" but they have found,the with recent tests i have a "problem" that needs further investigation as the last two visits showing "something not right" so more tests to be done ho hum,

As for dogs in shops those of us with dogs, tend to notice just how many more shops/cafes are becoming more aware of the positive attitude as "over there" is good for their cash flows,and yes, as numerous other owners are doing if not dog friendly when we have our dog with us then they miss out on our custom

Millie if there is a problem with the dishwasher,we are at FM for 10 days from sunday,so you can bring the washing up round and we can have a chat in the dishwashing area, and you can also have a refresher then i could issue the latest certificate of competence  

We're to get the same sort of service. The only problem is that our phone reception is rubbish. Just have to hope that they'll send a text with the arrival slot, which I might pick up when I'm out walking Flyte.
