In the surgery, you often hear the expression: "The doctor will see you now".

How about changing to: "Doctor - the patient will se you now".

Morning all.
I am all aches and pains this morning. my own fault I lifted the heavy mattress of the single bed so I could get the flance and sheets off to wash today and put clean ones on. my it was a struggle. I did it. but wish I had not. I am suffering for it now.

Yvonne my son tried to get his daughter Rebeccas insurance put in his name but they didnt do it.. he pays her its around £3.000 she has not passed her test yet. she goes sometimes this month for the test. I hope she passes as the lessons are heavy.

I am pleased your feeling better MO poor Hubby getting it now ? I hope he gets over it quickly.

Sunny here at the moment but forcaste is for rain.

hi Agatha

you can't put young drivers on parent's insurance anymore, the insurance companies have got wise to it and say it's fraud.

my first car was a Toyota Corolla. I had a mini too, it's amazing how much you can fit in such a small car!

MissFitz Report 21 Jun 2011 22:27

My first car was a Mini Yvonne, I put it in dads name so that I went on his insurance and it was cheaper.
Dermot, I worked out the answers straight away, LOL, I wont tell the answers, it would spoil it for the others :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

hi everyone

Belated birthday wishes Pauline

Rita pleased you had a good time in Norfolk

I've been taking son round a few garages looking at cars, seen a couple of possabilities but he's not had much luck getting insurance. I don't know where these insurance companies get their figures from, I know he's only just passed his test and 17 but he's been quoted between 3,000 and 9,000 pounds and the cars he's looking at are only 1,000 puonds

right, had me moan. Hope you are feeling better Mo

Rita,

Loads and Loads of Barrs........all our ancestors had bikes.......they got around a fair bit ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Yes I think we all looked a lot like my mother.

My Dad was the double of James Mason the actor. When I see James Mason in a film it's like watching my dad. My dad had a lovely soft voice and was a great singer.
