the plot thickens.

Hope everyone is ok.

Morning Shimmer  

Plot reveal: it said on the news that crop spraying with knock out drops would start in the south at 10pm and head northwards. The sleep inducing affects will last 2 hours.

Bingo! I know I was still awake gone 12.30am and woke 15 mins ago. Almost 2 hours.

It should have knocked your good self out now, so night hon, and hopefully it'll exceed the 2 hour limit xxx

Morning all

I slept until just after 4am. I've had cuppa no. 1.

It's much cooler here this morning but apparently getting hot again tomorrow.

It looks like everyone has been hit with the knock out drops Gill H

I'm glad the day went well. Knowing what a knob and loving person you are I know you will have people around you who you can lean on. You're right about this group and not feeling alone. Just reaching out in dark moments and feeling that hand of support means everything.

Had a crazy phone call yesterday whilst we were driving. OH picked up the call. It was a mortgage broker we'd initially called at the start of helping our daughter buy the house. OH told the guy she was sorry but we'd already got something worked out, he was very persistent and then said could he pass us through to life insurance. I kept saying "put the phone down. Say it's inconvenient at the moment", but he wouldn't have itm Then life insurance guy on the phone pushing life insurance and asking what time he could call back. OH told him she had cancer and everything was very busy at the moment. Kept pushing for a time. No empathy or understanding, just wanting to do business.

Morning Helen  

Yes, they seem to have done a good job, so hats off to crop sprayer. The drops had a delayed effect and I got a further 5 hours in - a record! Must find out where I can get my hands on some ..

It's already hotting up here H, and heatwave status where you are, so get your fan on stand by hon.

Cuppa no. 1 coming up here xxx

Morning Uki ️ 

What a clown that insurance guy was. Cold callers clearly don't have empathy included in their training packs and I hope he didn't upset your OH.

OH here gets a lot of their unwanted calls but can't answer them. Mostly, his phone alerts them as suspected spam, so he blocks them. You're probably in a similar position though and if the alert doesn't come up, sometimes need to answer in case it's to do with appointments etc. I always wait for the caller to introduce themselves first and when I know it's spam, leave the call open till they get fed up at their end. Then I block them.

Take care hon and I hope you both have a nice day xxx

Hello Milkey 

If you look on 'tinternet there are many "Private Health Care" organisations who can do this for you BUT before parting with your hard earned cash:

* You need to get your trade union involved and ask for advice - they may well be able to help and even fund the medical required.

* Why not call at your local "Citizens Advice Bureau" - I am sure they can help you or point you in the right direction for help.

* Do you have a "Maggie's" at your hospital - this is a cancer charity - I am sure they can help.

* Why not call our Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 between 9am and 4pm Monday to Friday and ask to speak to an information and support advisor. If one isn't free they will arrange a call back.

What ever you do - get some help before parting with your cash!

Best wishes - Brian.

Please listen to Brian hon. 

You CANNOT sort your dismissal from work yourself. 

Who is advising you to get a physio report?

No one fully understanding your situation would tell you to do something without supporting you through the process, making contacts on your behalf, form filling, and knowing how  any costs involved are to be covered.

Did your Trade Union ever get back to you? 

It is unfortunate that they don't appear to have been involved with your sickness and fitness to work meetings before your dismissal.

It is easy to think finding information on your health at that time will help you now, BUT this can easily become very time and energy consuming and EXPENSIVE and often set you off down the wrong paths.

What is it you are hoping to do?

Your employer will fight and not accept they may have failed and they have resources and experts that you on your own don't. This is why someone that does have expertise needs to advise you and take any action on your behalf.

However unfair it feels, there may not be any action that is worth taking. Please get some advice that does not involve you on your own pursuing reports that that you have to pay for.

Take care

Thanks so much the union i am with one of the biggest in the UK have said i should get a real occupational health report because the 3 bad ones i had with the company that done the report should be voyed
