Return the present of the cold/flu immediately. Demand your money back and threaten to sue if not done post haste.
Then go and pick out something you really want.
The nerve of someone giving you a cold/flu present. Hey, you could regift it back to them....lol
I hope you are well soon and the memory of this horrible gift soon fades.

Haha :) Thanks Lesley! I now understand why people on TV wish to be very very thin.

Further to my earlier posting re-cold/flu bug........not strictly true to say I got it on my birthday......more it "surfaced" then. I suspect I got it through going to see my Doctor on Monday, two people opposite me in waiting room were both hacking and coughing. They are quite welcome to the "gift" back.

Jon, I've heard it said that telly adds at at least ten stone to your weight.
How odd watching someone I "know" on the blessed box. And how impressive! I was thinking of sending you a hug but now I think polite applause is appropriate. That, and a little curtsey if I can still... *thud*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ray, you'd better have the hugs - sounds like you need them! (((((()))))) |

Aww Lochalsh, you are too kind *blush*. Be careful what you wish for though...I may yet choose to study for my PhD in America ;)
Will maybe apply for a quiz show that has a cash prize next time Lesley? And hopefully it would be filmed in London. Manchester was one heck of a journey.

One thing I can't see Jonno worrying about on TV is his hair. That's enough for the both of us! Now that does bother me nowadays on videos when I know that is only within my power to control with a £7000 session in surgery, while awake. I'll wait till they can make home visits before I let them loose on my follicles. I can handle a lot more in my own environment.

I hadn't thought about the travelling. Cardiff to Manchester, that's a hell of schlep. Did they at least get you a hotel for before, or after, or better still before and after?
Nothing wrong with the hair. The hair is good. Leave the hair alone.
Nothing wrong with going for the money either!
Lochalsh - *whispers* - he is cute, isn't he? |

Good idea - and lots of money to be had.
My cousin had his newly-reconciled daughter staying with him when his wife died. Then she went home and he went and stayed with her and her husband for a few days. And now he's home, in an empty flat. I'm sure he just needs to hear a human voice.
He's also angry about a lot of things he's heard about his father. For instance, we all thought his daughter stayed away because her mother had poisoned her mind. Turns out it was my uncle all the time, telling lies and keeping his granddaughter at bay.
Rather more surprising - a text from Merv! When he goes shopping, is there anything I'd like him to get for me. Gosh. What a nice offer! (I declined.) |

Another long call from my cousin, who is now inexpressibly angry, and has started saying that his father ruined his life. Recently he's learnt a lot from his daughter and son-in-law when she noticed that things he did were very different from the things my cousin's father told her he did. Today he had a long conversation with his father's main carer, the one who told me she was like a daughter to him. She wanted to move away a few years ago but he bribed her to stay. She was promised lots of money in his will if she stayed, but she got half of what she was promised. There's a surprise.
We swapped a few happy family stories. He knew that I hadn't phoned his father for years. Every time I thought about it, and even had my hand on the telephone, I couldn't bring myself to talk to him whenever I remembered the years of lies and broken promises. Today my cousin said he now understood why I didn't want to ring his father.
It's not easy to learnt that someone who was supposed to be on your side has betrayed you. Today somebody told him to put it behind him. I think that means one of two things: either I've never been through anything like that, and I'm so stupid that I think advice like "put it behind you" is actually helpful; or I can't be bothered to listen to you. |

It was my uncle, not his carer, who said she was like a daughter to him. I have no idea if the feelings were reciprocated.
I'm going to bed. Night all! |

At least you've connected with your cousin :)

Or he's connected with me. His father died 21 months ago, and his wife died a few weeks ago, so he's alone in the flat, but he has a very good relationship with his step-daughter and a blossoming one with his daughter. (It might have started blossoming 14 years ago, but my uncle blocked it, and that's what my cousin meant by his father ruining his life.)
The other cousins, the brothers who will inherit their uncle's flat, and are obviously intent on keeping it, don't contact anyone these days. The older one rang my brother about three weeks ago, to ask him if I'd received an invitation he'd sent me. Nothing in the post, and he stopped responding to my emails the best part of a year ago. Why not phone me? Very strange.
Probably not strange enough to keep me awake though. Night! :) |

I am an "only child", I have no brothers or sisters, but what I do have is cousins...........dozens of them!
My father was eldest of 5 boys, and my mother 2nd youngest with 3 brothers and 9 sisters!
The last time I actually met any of them was at the funeral of Mum's sister Kate (the last to die)....around 25 years ago!
It is safe to say we are not a close knit family! Lol
