All the best Lizz, get plenty of good grub down you👍

Thanks :-*
People joke about hospital food, but at least here in Ashford it is very good for mass catering.  Really tasty, sensible portions, and great trolley staff dishing it out …..

Yep, Harefield meals were really good, you get a proper menu in colour as well.  :y  High Wycombe cardio unit on the other hand, a lot of my meals looked like they’d been run over before getting to me.  ;D  Staff were ok though.  :y
Tip of the day Lizzie, to pass away the time, get someone to bring in an iPad and ear buds and give Netflix a caning.  :y

 ;D. Oh yes, my smart phone has been very busy already catching up with all the soaps, and other programmes I
 love but missed for about 10 days. This includes Bangers & Cash which reminds me of all those wonderful cars of my childhood, Austin's, Morris, Wolsleys, Ford's, Vauxhall's, Armstrong, Standards, Bentleys........etc etc....the list goes on & on!!!  It has taken my mind off the present situation and reminded me of simpler times 8) 8)

As for the iPad; I have decided against having unnecessary tech equipment here in hospital.  I don't want to place temptation in someone's way! ;)

Just being able to legally drive again will be good, if not absolutely essential now.

Only just read this Lizzie, thank goodness you were able to make that 999 call & that you are making a recovery, but be sure to take it steady gentle exercise etc. As someone said earlier a close call but people of our age are tough and determined..👍

Hi Lizzie

Sorry to hear you've been through the mill but I'm reassured to see you're still posting!

£600 for an alternator is ludicrous. £100 in parts will see your car on the road and it'll take me a couple of hours. Just say when - weekends are best. Please for goodness sake stop taking your Omega to dealerships, they are just not clued up on these models anymore.........

I agree with James about the cost - I have just dug the receipt out for my alternator that was overhauled a couple of years ago wlith genuine Bosch parts and a new pulley bearing - £55. And at least you'll know the terminal will be correct if it s the one that was on originally! It's slightly fiddly to fit just because the access, but James should have it cracked off in no time!
Sorry to read about your health woes too, but I hope you soon make a speedy recovery :y
