Doctors Addicts Anonymous Continued - WTF is going on now?

[MsNobodyAgain]

For any fans of the weekday soap Doctors (1.45pm, BBC1), the thread title is often what we ask ourselves.

Sometimes it's a WTF episode , sometimes it's BAH (boring as hell). Occasionally we have a FTC (failure to care) moment.

But sometimes rarely there is a diamond in the rough that makes us

So please join in if you would like to. All welcome. Mrs T is just making a pot of Rrrrrrrrrrrrrred Bush tea.

Hurrah for Zara!!

It's called repatriation Sam. I used to work in funerals.

I lurve Daniel. Mmmmmm!

Yay! Things should get lively now Zara is back.

Did you MsNo? Bet you"ve got some tales...

Hurrah! And no FOD at the moment. Things are looking up. Except for Sam.

Poor Sam

Yep Horsemad. Mostly good, some bad. And don't get me started on the smells...

poor Sam indeed- very drastic way to get away from his wife.

Holby did a dignitas stpryline years ago- with Elliot's wife (he's my favourite character). It was very well done. But then the acting was of a far higher standard too

Yuck Ms

I'm cross- so I'm going to have a wee vent here since I've already chewed off dh's ear ).

Dd1 is doing dinosaurs as her class topic. So, at the weekend, spur of the moment thing, dh suggested we go to Manchester museum. They have an exhibit- not massive (usually shut whenever we've been before.) The museum is FREE. Funnily enough, whilst there we bumped into one of her classmates , which was nice. They spent ages pointing at the picture of the caveman that showed his willy

So, today, she comes out with a letter for a school trip- you know where this is going? That's ok, she loves the museum, lots to see apart from the dino. (His name is Stan, btw). At a cost of £9.00 per child. This does not include lunch, we provide a packed one, so can only be transport. We don't live in the back of beyond- we live 10 miles outside the city centre, near the airport. And 2 train stations. And buses every 15 minutes. Now, MM is a bit of a walk from the station- but even so-£9 each just for transport (there are 25 children going, and about 6 adults). AIBU to think this is extortionate (just kidding)

Ds's trip to York was only £10!

YANBU. Request a breakdown of the £9.

DS1 is going to Boulogne for the day with the school. £62, bargain.

I was thinking yesterday that surely Dignitas wouldn't take Sam, I don't know what the criteria are, but surely your quality of life has to be significantly worse than his? even with his evil wife

Raahh - that is annoying. Do the museum charge the school for having their own guide or something?

I'm not sure Who. There was a young rugby player that went, but he was paralysed from the neck down and vv upset at his situation.

But Sam doesn't seem to behave like someone who is desperate to end his life. IYKWIM. Not that I know about any of this.

Prob massive insurance has pushed the cost up Raah

I know from PTA funded trips that the transport costs a ridiculous amount of money.

I watched a prog on this a few years ago and the chap had an illness that woild eventually kill him, but looked reasonably well when he actually did it.

Was a strange feeling, watching someone drink a liquid that would kill him...
I have no problem with people choosing this route, but it felt wrong that he was doing it in a corrugated building on an industrial estate and not in his own home surrounded with all his stuff.

Sparkling,Horse -usually trips are quite well subsidised- and the breakfast club donate a lot. I'm sure there will be a donation made to the museum- no prob with that. But when they went to the science museum, they went by train/bus (tied in with their transport topic). It cost £2.50. Dh is a governor- he's not too chuffed either. I will ask the HT tomorrow (I think I scare him, I'm not sure why, I'm a curly haired midget). I'm in a particularly bad mood today

9 quid seems a bit steep! at 'curly haired midget' though.

Now, my turn for a rant. Everyone keeps telling me my hair is shite, poor condition. I;ve spent the last 18 months growing it (bob style). Should I just cut the bloody lot off again?

I think my ovary has packed in. I'm not going on HRT thankyouverymuch, soooooooooooooooo...Doctors jury, you decide

Good trim, then condition, condition, condition MsN - the hair not the ovary. I have grown mine a lot too and keep thinking about having the chop but my haidresser keeps talking me out of it.

As for HRT, I'd only do that as a last resort? I'm getting fed up because since I turned 45 last year I can't set foot in mt GP's surgery without being asked about the menopause. For example Me "I've hurt my arm". GP "Any symptoms of menopause yet?" Me 'Er, don't know How the frig would I know, I've got a coil and haven't had a period for years which you would know if you looked at my records'

'the hair, not the ovary'

I think you talk sense Who. My hair is thinning badly though (oh, the joys of a hysterectomy in my 30's).

I think I may buy shares in conditioners though. I've been through every brand!

Try a sulphate free shampoo & cond - these are supposed to be better I think. Although, it could also be hormonal too

I hate getting older...

Raahh def query the price - see the fear in the HT's eyes!!

I don't think I've looked for sulphate free horsemad. Ta. My hair appointment isn't until next Tuesday so I have time to play with.

Definitely hormones though. I've dropped a lot of weight and have dry skin.

I was at Zara's hair today.

Yep, my skin has become drier the past few years.

Zara's hair looked lovely, but she prob has a stylist on the set to get it 'just right'.

MsN - I have posted lots about sulfate free shampoos and stuff this week - if you look in S&B there is a thread about SLS free shampoos, have a look at that. I developed alopecia about 4 years ago and lost about a third of mine in big patches, which was a nightmare, it all came back, but I have taken extremely good care of it ever since, sulfate and silicone free, plus colouring only with Lush henna and it is in the best condition ever.
