DOCTORS: The Mill is open for the next vast influx of patients. Zzzzzz....

[FuzzyCustard]

New thread.

Registering for an appointment.

Checking in.

Booking in.

I'm sitting in the waiting room....waiting. Less than a week until it's back anyway.

Fuzzy, you're the same age as my sister. She'll be 61 soon too although doesn't look it.

Evening!

Oooh Madison...perhaps I AM your sister.

Evening all. I'm of an age where I remember that catch phrase on a certain police TV drama.

Thanks custard for the new thread. Why are you fuzzy?
Yeah the youngsters on our thread need to realise that I have a child in their 30s!
Old gimmer alert.

We had the football on earlier, Everton were playing, they run out to the Z Cars theme, that takes me right back to police dramas of the 1970s, watching with my grandparents.

Registering for a home visit.
I'm 40 this year, not sure how that happened and while I don't care about my age as such I wish I had ticked more things off my 'list' I'm not married, don't own a house, don't drive and never been abroad on holiday. So many normal things I just haven't achieved.

told I have three children., all in their thirties. Gimmers rule.

Actually I have no beef with getting older except for the awful negative assumptions that are made about people over a certain age (usually 50 or 60). And mostly on MN We are, apparently, unable to operate any kind of modern machinery (computer/telephone/cooker etc), aren't fit to drive, should never go to t shop when a younger person might want to use it, and all of us have dementia. This is despite the fact that most of us are still working, managing teams of people and multi-million pound budgets and juggling the needs of older parents with children and grandchildren and still managing to have a bit of fun ourselves.

Grrrr...rant over! (Of course, no-one on the Drs threads is like this. Ever. You are all lovely)

told I have been a variety of Custards. Fuzzy is just one of them. Not really sure why! (Partly a kind of anonymity...there are several other "Fuzzies" on MN, and several "Custards" too. I hope to be slightly unmemorable.

Was trying to hold off till doctors actually began but you have sucked me back in ... Have food malaise. Lost my cooking mojo and most things I try taste like ashes. Except unhealthy chocolate or crisps. What is your diagnosis?

pencil sounds like a case of tinselitis
We're you not inspired by Masterchef? A border of shrubbery around your food should cure you.

Can I have an appointment please gobby?

You don't need an appointment. Just wait two minutes and several doctors will be free. For hours.
Or will come round to your house and never leave in their droves if you prefer.

@FuzzyCustard

I need a home visit. I can't stop baking and feel sick. I haven't eaten real food in recent memory.
Thanks for the new thread, Fuzzy!

I had a Doctors/Doctor Who mash up dream. Ruhma being sanctimonious lost a werewolf his job.

I need a life.

bingle have you submitted this idea to the scriptwriters? sounds like the ideal follow-up to 6tl's time-traveller nonsense episode. I need some real food too Nut. and I need to stop watching marie Kondo on Netflix but she is so cute I can't stop. Like a mature gracious animated dolly. Not so keen on the American subjects though.

Bingle

I love that.

I need Doctors to come back. My other great passion (that doesn't involve leaving the sofa- watching the tennis) isn't going to plan either, and my favourite players are either injured or losing.

I don't want to have to get up early to take dd2 to school tomorrow.
In a moment of madness, I agreed to take DD1 into town to try when we've dropped her off, and swap something my sister bought her that doesn't fit. Unfortunately she got it from an outlet village, and when my mother took them back last week , the stock was limited. I have to go back to an actual shop, with store credit- where they will only have full price stuff and I will probably want to cry. .

Bingle, that is an excellent dream.
I've just sat down to watch The Bill... Guilty pleasure... They have mucked with the schedule so much over Christmas I have no idea where we are. Not that it matters at all.

blame don't think you have to do/have those things. I've never been on an aeroplane, but living in Kent I have been abroad. We do day trips to France in this neck of the woods.

I expect you will learn to drive, unless you live in a city it's quite handy. My mum passed her driving test in her fifties, after all her children left home (not on the same day lol) and she needed to learn.
