As for mugs and Araldite ... I thought the Araldite had done the trick. The handle felt quite solid this morning until I made tea in the mug, and then the bond softened! I am now back where I started, only with blobs of superglue and Araldite smeared all over my mug ... and its loose handle.

On top of which ... I nearly gassed myself with acetone-based nail polish(varnish?) remover, and now have a fleece jacket with bits of solid superglue on it, bits of fleece worn away by rubbing, and stinking of acetone!

This woman never ages, how does she do it ?
I went for a blood test on the 15th October. As expected (because I was feeling a bit 'clotty'), it turned out that my Warfarin dose needed to be increased.

I got a letter the next day telling me what to change it to, and instructing me to have another test done on Tuesday 29/10/13.

Well, I read the '10' but thought 'November'. I did notice that the 29th November is a Friday, but instead of thinking 'Oh, silly me, my blood test is actually in 2 weeks time, in October', I thought 'They should check their calendars - the 29th of November is a Friday. Oh, and I am annoyed that they will have not tested me for 7 weeks after changing my prescription'!

So here I am, feeling like my dose is still too low, and getting annoyed about the long wait for the next blood test, and then the penny dropped - I should have had it done yesterday!


Ooops can't you phone them and say you felt as weak as a kitten and got it wrong and could you just pop in ................. tomorrow ?

Not guaranteed to work, but worth a try. Put the fleece inside a sealed plastic bag & place it in the freezer. You should be able to unpick the superglue upon removing it from the freezer. Might take more than one go depending on the amount & area covered.

You want to not know who did what?

Tests by prior appointment only at the clinics in the valley, but there is a drop-in at the hospital in Halifax, so that's where I will have to go! If they notice that the date is wrong, I'll just tell them that an idiot told me that the test was next month ... :whistle:

Hopefully, the results will show that I need another increase in the dose because I am still not feeling right and want some more help.

I might give that a go, but the fleece is getting damaged now so I might relegate it to wearing indoors only and start wearing one of my other jackets instead.

PS Yes, that's a plan - the zip is faulty anyway, and I have another jacket which I can wear.

What other rubbish do you watch, my high opinion of you is fading a little :tongue:

I used to watch Eastenders, hated all the northern soaps like Corrie and Emmerdale, liked a bit of Cockney drama though, maybe because it was so true to how I imagine you southerners really are :laugh:

Make sure they know how unwell you feel Colin and refuse to budge when you get there. Hope you get it sorted quickly.

Eastenders is awful Potsy but i have to say there are many places i have been in London that could have been the film set. London is such a varied city it's a shame people only think of Eastenders as being London.

Don't like Corrie, it's depressing. I like Emmerdale as there is always an element of humour there and the scenery is lovely.

Other than that i am a foreign drama BBC 4 fan i am afraid.
