Oh Norf that's not fair. Is there anyone you can stop and ask how much longer they expect it to take. 2 hours extra is an unreasonable amount of time to be hanging around.

I guess it's becaus they might have to act on the results why they won't just tell you over the phone....it'll depend on how busy the lab is. Not that it helps, but that's the reality.

Northey · 09/09/2012 15:03

They said they were sending it as urgent and expected it back by 1pm.

It's just that I spent three hours here yesterday waiting for a ten minute discussion with a doctor that we could have done by phone.

And now even when I get the results they could make me stay to discuss them. I just don't see why they couldn't have given them to me by phone and told me if I needed to come back. I know it's my fault for not asking if I could do that in the first place. And now I've waited so long I keep feeling they must almost be here...

Hey Rie, was it the Jaffa cakes, faifes cake or the gin infused tea that pulled you back?

Has anyone spoken to you norf? What's the delay? Result can take hours, but, really?! Don't leave just yet, but have you started making a fuss?

Northey · 09/09/2012 14:54

Ooh! Cakes and jaffa cakes and riebiejeebies! What sort of mad times?

Northey · 09/09/2012 14:52

Still no fucking results. When should I refuse to wait any longer?

HaveALittleFaith · 09/09/2012 14:51

Hiya riebie. Look forward to hearing all about it.

HaveALittleFaith · 09/09/2012 14:50

I am no baker. I learnt to cook a few years ago (not til my mid 20s, before I only 'cooked' what was essentially heating up - pizza, fresh pasta etc). I massively struggle with baking but this appears to have been successful....proof of course will be in the eating.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 09/09/2012 14:44

Um...hello?

Sorry for prolonged absence. I have been having Mad Mad Times. I will try and catch up but may be a while

sinkyroselee · 09/09/2012 14:44

Ooooh, do. I'm totally crap at baking (not bad at cooking, and awesome at risotto and steaks, but terrible at all things cakey) but am v good at admiring.

HaveALittleFaith · 09/09/2012 14:41

I'll post a picture of it if you like?

sinkyroselee · 09/09/2012 14:41

I'll have some giant cupcake too if you're offering

sinkyroselee · 09/09/2012 14:39

Ooh. I'll take a Jaffa cake. Hope no one minds if I do my usual peeling off the orangy bit to eat first?

HaveALittleFaith · 09/09/2012 14:39

I used to imagine being like Muriel in Muriel's wedding like when will it be me?!
Good on ya for the 99% fizzpot. Keep on eye on those chest pains.

I'm not a fan of the Jaffa cakes to be honest but does anyone want a nibble on Dnephew's giant cupcake? Chocolate cake with Betty Crocker frosting and buttercream for the centre :) its hiding in the fridge and I'm resisting any temptation!

FizzyFeet · 09/09/2012 14:25

I'll take a Jaffa cake, fsr. It'll go nicely with my antihistamine. Have been having odd chest pains - think it might be an allergic reaction. We went for a family meal last night, with SIL an the new baby. I'm 99% fine about it but the other 1% just wants to yell "it should have been me!" Tina Turner style.

My blood is still being spun in the whizzy spinning thing. I am still plugging through bastard boring To The Lighthouse and thinking about likelihoods. I reckon the most likely thing is that it will have gone down again. The second most likely is the leftover stuff. The third most likely is the twin thing. The least likely is the miracle rediffedness option. The least likely being, of course, the most desirable to me.

sinkyroselee · 09/09/2012 13:40

Oh. That'll teach me to not check the list.

Does anyone really use brew in preference to tea?

sinkyroselee · 09/09/2012 13:39

Bit early for the hard stuff, gin infused [tea] anyone?

I have scratched their goaty noses and patted their dear little rumps. Now back on the ward waiting for results.

HaveALittleFaith · 09/09/2012 13:05

Can you feed said goats, or can you just look at them?

I have been to church and really enjoyed it. Time to get the washing on the line and do the ironing before giving DNephew his giant cupcake birthday cake baked by my own fair hands :) oh and Woody of course Wink
