My mother needs to go into hospital for some investigations. She is undergo a coronary angiogram. The problem is I know exactly what it entails, what the risks are and have seen things go wrong. I've tried putting her at ease but have instead may have made her more anxious.
What doesn't help is that if it shows anything obvious, she will need a repeat procedure to address the issue. This puts her off as she would rather get everything done in one go. Worse, I know why it happens this way: money. The hospital gets paid twice if they bring a patient back for treatment rather than doing it all in one go and getting paid only once.

The cost of moving. I have found somewhere but am having to pay tenancy drafting fees, for something that is most likely a cut and paste job. Reference and credit check fees are not so bad. More than £3200 to move in all.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Not that good old scam of admin fees. To run a credit check and send a few emails you suddenly get charged a whopping huge amount. Sign a contract add on some more admin fees. Want to renew add some more admin fees. Mandatory inspection.. well try and add on fees if we can. Some agents really try and rip you off   _________________Finally joined Flickr

I was spoiled where I am now. No fees at all. Though I have been a good tenant, I have been here nearly six years.

The White Stripes are no more, I disliked as many songs as I liked by them, but it's still an end of an era as they were just getting big when I was just getting in to (MTV/radio) music.

this doesn't necessarily mean you are old, you may be insane and approached the newly painted toilet door that has "wet paint" and is painted white and the toilet was closed and you headbutted it in frustration as you were desperate to go, just a possibility  _________________
