Paddle sorry about the van. Perhaps it is because the absolute perfect one for you is just around the corner (silver lining and all that?) It happened when we had to pull out of buying a house because the owner wanted an extra £50,000 . W =e though our entire chain was going to fold then we found this house which was 1/4 as big again, with a huge playroom and have made loads of freinds here and are really settled.
Had a horrible run in with a receptionist at our surgery just now, totally rude and miseravble man. I think I shall be wwritting a letter of complaint. Sad because they are all (apart from him) lovely and very helpful/accomodating.
Basically I went in to collect some test results and referal letter for dh (who had spoken to doctor saying I would pick them up for him). He finds the results but not the letter, checks computer and reads out the letter and tells me it has been posted. I say "oh dh told me I needed to pick it up". He then says he can print a copy off but it won't be signed. I say "great". He then pauses, looks up at me and says "you can take it", "but you just said you would print one off for me"
He sighs , rolls his eyes and says "oh you are going to be awkward now are you?" WTF. I say "excuse me???" Then proceeds to be unpleasant ansd quite frankly rude telling me to "get of his back" etc (I maintained my cool). I was astounded. ANyway I will be making a complaint.
