Just a small take of how my hubby is turning into sodding Victor Meldrew lol.
When I was nine years of age I used to go and watch our local football team play (Romford), playing for the team was twin brothers, I was fascinated and used to cheer them both on all the time, they both went on to play semi professional alongside such names as Trevor Brooking, Malcolm Allison et al.
Fast forward to 2000 and after a couple of 'hiccups' I met the man who is now my husband, after we'd been going out for a while the penny dropped he and his brother were the self same twin brothers I used to cheer on over at the footie, yes, yes I am officially a WAG, we married in 2011 in all the years I've known him he's always been even tempered and easy going, we've both always worked hard and been errrrrrm honest and upright.
A year ago my hubby had a small growth start to appear on his eyelid, off he trotts to the GP's who says we can't remove it, its a hospital jobby, so off we goes to the hospital, who say.... yes Mr B you do need it removed but unfortunately we can't do it because we don't have the funds as your GP letter states that its cosmetic, hmmmm out comes hubby who then growls and says 'come on we're leaving'. We then phone the GP surgery, he speaks to the surgery manager and explains that its not just cosmetic that he can see the growth and he's worried it will affect his driving, we are advised to contact the local PCT which we do, they investigate and after much too ing and fro ing we are told that we have to pay private to have it done, ok its only about £500 at the local Nuffied Hospital, but himself says that its not the point, blah, blah and so on, anyway out of principal he's now refusing to pay and is walking about with this 'wart' type thing on his eye. Yes we've sent in a couple of complaints but the PCT refuse to budge.
Then a month or two ago we booked to go away on our holidays on Jan 20th, we were advised to visit the GP or nurse to check out if we need innoculations for Hong Kong, Australia, Tasmania and Singapore, we had the appointment two weeks ago, yes says the nurse, you both need Hepatitis A for Hong Kong, she does the normal checks and because the local PCT hasn't paid their bill, we have had to be issued with a prescription for the injections at a cost of £40 each, she says pick up the prescription and come back on Christmas Eve and I'll do the jabs, whilst your there I'll check your Athsma Saphy too. Two days before Christmas himself picks up the injections and leaves them in the glove compartment of my car, we were not told anything else.
On Christmas Eve in we both trot, ready to be jabbed, the new nurse says, there's no record of this, you are here for blood pressure and Athsma test only, and besides those injections are worthless as they were supposed to be refrigerated and threw them away, oh and by the way you both have not had a travel assessment.... himself is growling.... nursey says there's it nothing on your records about any of this, by the way Mr B go and sit down in that corner and stop growling, well..... that was it, tipped him over the edge, off he marches and slams the door behind him, muttering about incompetance etc, I'm sitting there chuckling inside, nursey gets up, walks outside and says 'Mr B, leave the building or I will call the police and have you arrested', now I am crying with laughter by now, she comes back, tells me that he's on a warning and he cannot come back in that day, then he sticks his head through the surgery window, mutters something and asks for my car keys, nursey went mental, threatening to call police, so I said 'go on then, go for it, I'll phone the kids to come over from Kent to bail him out of the cells, I could do with some peace and quiet', honestly I thought someone was winding us up.
Soooo the upshot of this is now, is we now have a new prescription which we have to pick up on the way to the surgery for our appointment at 11.40 am on New Years Eve, its the same nurse, somehow I have the feeling that she will be using him as Darts practice.
I wonder if he will wish her a Happy New Year after she's finished with him
msl:
Oh and we have to pay another £40 each for the injections.
I can feel yet another flaming complaint going into the PCT this time about not being told to keep the jabs refrigerated lol, the rate we're going they'll do his operation on his eye for nothing just to shut him up.
