Dirty dishwasher

[woofgang]

My dishwasher has started to not wash the dishes in one quarter of the lower tray, the front left The filter etcet is clean, there isn't any obstruction and the arms are not blocked and rotate freely. The dishes get wet and hot so there does seem to be some water getting to the dishes. Any suggestions please?

I didn't know you were a smoker shaney, give it up now. I was on 60 a day and then stopped completely there and then, no help just willpower cos it has to come from you!! That was 27yrs ago, mind you I still want one!!!

We have an 83 yr old spanish friend who is dying from lung cancer, he's in a hospice and they are sedating him most of the time to stop the pain, he stopped smoking when he was 15!!!

best way to put off seeing my doc is to make an appointment now - it will be 2 weeks before I actually get to see him. I have to plan major illnesses well in advance. I'd change docs, but I have no idea whether anyone else would be any better.

[woofgang]

well so much for going to bed. We had the start of a storm here and Shughy decided it was all very scarey so we are sat in the living room eating toast and peanut butter which is good medicine for scarey storms. Not sure why as i had a huge dinner but I was ravenous. will play silly games and nod on the settee for now.

[woofgang]

and one dog has just been sick and is looking unhappy...hope it was just the peanut butter disagreeing.....

[woofgang]

Good morning. We all stayed downstairs. Sick dog is fine. Worried dog isn't worried. I am exhausted.

I'll get my doc to come and visit your dogs, woofy, but he can't do it before November 27, if that's okay.

[woofgang]

We will be gassed by then. Sick dog is making nuclear smells.
We are very lucky with our doc. The surgery folk are helpful, my own GP is lovely, and the others seem to be good too. They do have a nurse/receptionist triage thing (you don't have to tell the receptionist anything if its personal) but when I had a lump in my mouth, I got seen same day. They do housecalls, keep in close touch when its needed and are generally brilliant.
Both dogs are now asleep. i feel a mid morning nap coming on.
They are the exception rather than the rule though.

Good morning. Our surgery is good, although it is difficult to get an appointment with my own GP as he is so popular. However, if you need to speak to him he will ring you back and if he thinks he needs to see you he will make sure you get in to see him quickly, or if not a colleague who will report back to him. Reading what some people experience is quite horrifying.

I am still Granny Grumps with my aches and pains and 'algias! We are going out to a pub meal tonight with friends and I have to pull myself together. I know it will do me good, but it seems such an effort.

[netibiza]

I'm granny grump with this heat, we are on storm warnings now, just when I have washed our bedding!

Good morn ing.

Oh woofy you poor dogs and poor you.

Our health system here is very good, couldn't be better, the only waiting times for ops are in the summer because they do not like to operate on minor things in the heat. Obviously big ops go ahead, but huge health risks with the heat, dust and humidity!

Can usually get to see doctor the same day, or if wanted for in the week we get to pick time and date!!

Just got my invite to another mamogram in Sept, at least they keep on top of it <<<< (i)very quick and painless(i)>>>> say they!! mustn't use talc, or deodorant or creams on bazooms or armpiuts, I didn't know that as they can show up as stains on the xray (can't think of the english word for it!)

Hello all
Sloshing it down here and guess who had to trudge out in it .
I'm perfecting my drowned rat look ,it's the latest fashion you know :)
Hope all you Biddy Babes are Ok today though and that dogs have settled down along with tums and any other dodgy ailments .

Our surgery is very good too ,apart from one dragon on the desk !
When I was there yesterday I enquired about Mr S's itchycoos .He saw the nurse at 9am this morning and she sorted it it all out for him pronto .
Even phoned his supplier to send the appropriate stuff for his tummy for tomorrow .
The new medical centre I went to yesterday is great .Lovely place ,all bright and modern and practically on the doorstep which wouldn't suit Sqad though as he thinks we should all be travelling at least fifty miles to see a doctor or attend hospital :)

[woofgang]

well If it would annoy sqad it must be okay. We have spent the day catching up on last night and I have managed to get some tidying done which is a miracle.

[shaneystar2]

Here come the big ships

They had some tall ships lined up at the start of the Olympics - they were going to sail from Greenwich to Tower Bridge, but it got windy so they turned back and didn't tell anyone, leaving hundreds of spectators waiting. Never trust a sailor, say I.

[shaneystar2]

Lol Jno ...never trust a sailor is quite true :)
But no ..that wasn't me !
It's always a good weekend .I love to see the tall ships and the Newfies doing their rescue in the river .
It's a lovely day out ,weather permitting .I'm looking forward to a fried herring courtesy of the Hemsby Lifeboat crew .
