This is a thread for all fans of the daytime soap 'Doctors', BBC1, 1.45pm.

If you like a world more WTF than Willy Wonkas, you're in the right place. Please join in whether you are a regular, a newbie or a lurker. It's good fun Grin. Doctors brings us Austen week next week. Doctors and Austen? How?

Fed up with vasectomy couple.

And I'm sure hitting Gary lucas, whilst being a special plod is a daft idea.

dRaahhcula · 24/10/2013 16:50

Kev giving marriage guidance is a bitHmm

dRaahhcula · 24/10/2013 16:53

oh Howard.Sad Even though it is a strange character development that came out of the blue and makes no sense.

cinnamongreyhound · 24/10/2013 17:07

Just watching now, Heston definitely trying to get rid of his new woman!

cinnamongreyhound · 24/10/2013 17:27

Oodisgonnagetya sorry to hear that, hope you get something sorted. Would it be a total disaster for you not to go back?

That's twice Gobbyplod has caught TBFE being sick, ahh he's made the link phew.

I'm pretty against vasectomy's but I also see her point of view, it is always down to the woman. Not that I'm a good person to ask at the moment as I'd happily have an unplanned pregnancy Blush

Oodisgonnagetya · 24/10/2013 17:54

cinnamon I'm main wage earner and if I can't go back on medical grounds it rights off most potential jobs without starting again. I'd actually like to start a different path but so far don't know what. I don't want to hunt out of desperation.
Im going for an assessment in 2 weeks

MsNobodyAgain · 24/10/2013 18:02

I could see what the man was saying actually. I had a hysterectomy when I was 34 and felt 'less of a woman' for a long time.

Still bugs me now a bit as it wasn't my choice.

Hmmm.

Anyhooooo, do I have to start a new thread for tomorrows or will we manage?

X-post. Sounds difficult Ood. Hope you get a solution you are happy with.

So sorry, Ood I skim read your last post and missed the bit about you not being sure if you are able to go back. I've been there. It's totally shit. Flowers.

Would it help if you had a look around for a different path. Not with the intention of doing anything serious about it but just for some ideas.

Oodisgonnagetya · 24/10/2013 18:25

I've been looking but have no ideas. I went into this work at 18 and have done similar work since but this was least strenuous. I've no alternative qualifications /degree to use to jump into something else and I'm struggling to find a field I can get into to train.

WhoKnowsWhereTheSlimeGoes · 24/10/2013 20:27

Sorry to hear this Ood - are you in a union?

Horsemad · 24/10/2013 23:10

Haven't seen today's episode but am intrigued - what is wrong with TBFE?

dRaahhcula · 24/10/2013 23:23

Horse- he's bulimic, it appears. And the stress of bring shown up on his first day as a special plod seems to have triggered it off.

Sad

Having suffered from bulimia for over 30 years, it's quite hard to watch (even if it is only Doctors)Grin

Horsemad · 24/10/2013 23:37

Thanks dRaahhcula - haven't seen any episodes apart from yesterday (and I'm still trying to forget that one!)

I can imagine that makes for difficult viewing for you. Sad

Oodisgonnagetya · 25/10/2013 03:34

who yes but they're pretty crap!

raah :(

ClayDavis · 25/10/2013 08:56

I got some really good advice from the ACAS phoneline a couple of months back. At least you would know where you stand and could point the union rep in the right direction if you need to.

There's also some really good people in the employment issues section here. A completely unidentifiable name change that you use only for posting about that might be an option.

Hope it starts to get better soon.

WhoKnowsWhereTheSlimeGoes · 25/10/2013 09:11

Also, is it just your union rep that's crap? The head office might have a members helpline.

I've had good advice under a pseudonym on the emplyment boards in the past.

cinnamongreyhound · 25/10/2013 13:48

Interesting start!

I've just paused Russell brands interview with Jeremy paxman on YouTube after being directed to it from fb. I love him!

cinnamongreyhound · 25/10/2013 13:52

Am I here alone today?

curlyclaz13 · 25/10/2013 13:55

missed most of yesterday but watching today. with a very Farty baby Grin

bellabelly · 25/10/2013 13:55

I'm here! AM kidding myself that I'm planning and preparing lessons but really I'm watching Doctors and playing Candy Crush... Grin

Sparklingbrook · 25/10/2013 13:56

I am here. I am a popper inner on this thread now. Sad

curlyclaz13 · 25/10/2013 13:57

Where are Heston and Salon mum going ?

Sparklingbrook · 25/10/2013 13:58

The Opera I think curly.

curlyclaz13 · 25/10/2013 13:58

Aww Kevin's in love !
