Looks like the rain clouds are very small and keep missing us to the North or South
We don't use our GP practice much at all apart from routine jabs and annual MOT.
But, having been 'bugged for about a month I thought I would get in to see what was occurring so...
... in days of yor you would phone and get an appointment to see your doctor, you remember them - they knew you, you knew them, etc. They looked after your whole family.
And then the Great Pandy came and GP's went into hiding and didn't really emerge even after Covid died down.
The service was replaced by over the phone triage and prescription if necessary on the couple of times we used it. Seemed to work okay.
So, I tried to make an appointment, expecting the above, but no, you now need to fill out a triage form via a link sent to you via mobile. Upon receipt by the surgery they will decide on your 'urgency' and take things from there.
So, yesterday, I made time to complete the form but... you cannot access the form outside of the opening hours of the surgery!
A serious FFS for this absolute nonsense.![]()
I thought you said you were going to be doing that. As part of the decorating you were doing.
I take it you paid him wel for his work, especially as you'll be walking all over it.Snake and pygmy pie and chips today.
Flooring has been laid.

You said it was going to be all your own work, once Mr WD had cleared it for you to start decorating.And your point is caller.
