Whether anyone will answer this, I'm not sure, but I am quite curious. My partner and I are currently saving for a house, we're a long way off yet. We're sat at about £4000 and we ideally are looking at getting between £10-15k instead for a deposit. So my question is, how much did you lot save first for a home? Was there some reasoning behind it?

A bunch of different ones because I wanted to try something different!

Can confirm women get wee shivers. If you've found this on reddit (saw it a few days ago), quite a few women seemed to confirm this as well. Where people get this from I don't know!

Well. It's about time I posted in this thread with sonething. Tuesday I went to London, with my parents and checked into the hospital at 7am. I met with my surgeon and the consultants ready for my surgery. At 11am I was wheeled away and the next thing I know I'm waking up in reocvery. Apparently it took 2 hours to do the surgery, however, due to a sigficant amount of blood loss my time in the recovery area was three hours. To say my mum was a little bit maniac was an understatement. The surgery itself was good. My fibroid was removed and it came to 6 inches long (the same size as the cut) I also had all my endometriosis removed and an ovarian cyst drained. If the cyst had been removed I'd have been left with a hysterectomy which I wasn't quite ready for. After Tuesday to Friday in the hospital I discharged myself (I spoke to my surgeon and nurses please do not worry I was given the ok to make the decision!) And I'm now back home with quite the horrific pictures! Glad for it to be finally over, in three months I will need a scan to see if more surgery is needed but otherwise I should hopefully never have to do this again

I'm always so pleased when I see people continuing to post in this thread. <3

Ah holidays! It feels like an age since I had one. Much like @Fierce_LiNkI travel to visit my folks in France and don't really class that as a holiday, much like I didn't when they lived in Manchester. This year however, I'm off to Dubai! I've been meaning to go for some time and my old housemate always gets good deals on business class flights. Its cost me a small fortune but its worth it. Next year, as its my partners 30th we're hopefully off to Japan, so fingers crossed for that in Sept

Sounds like she's gas lighting. Fun times..!

Talk about paranoid, you can't have a decent relationship like that. I would probably, if it were my friend, lessen spending time with them. Which actually does defeat the point, but if you're going to deal with this crap all the time, then what choice do you have?

I only want to do one thing...

I'd definitely recommend getting on your local Facebook page and see if anyone knows anyone! I rent of course, but I needed some help with our garden, we managed to get recommendations that way and super cheap too

Thanks @Raining_again, I hope someone does start listening, you know where I am <3. As for the complaint, my parents are now talking to a solicitor about it all. I'm currently not involved, but a lot of people are now very fed up with what's going on. I was left very ill on Saturday with everything that has happened and considering its supposed to be specialist care I worry that they might actually be worse than the hospital that referred me. Sigh. We shall see. @S.C.G I'm sorry to hear that, your troubles are as worthwhile noting here as any! I hope it gets better soon for you.

Thank you everyone. To add to my cake, I've just found out my Grandad has passed away. I can't even make this shit up. <3 Time to get out of this thread and find my way into the good one.

I actually wasn't sure whether I would post here or not, but considering people from here have seen what I posted on FB I thought it may be easier.. I'll keep it brief because it still hurts to speak about right now. I arrived in London on Thursday, stayed in a hotel without leaving to take the laxative stuff (2L of it infact. Never allow anyone to tell you to take moviprep, ask for an alternative). I was ready to go, prepared, sort of excited? It'd been too long and I was in too much pain. I didn't eat of course, from 7am on the Thursday, but made it to the appointment at 7am Friday. I saw the surgeon - my surgery was booked for the afternoon, no they couldn't tell me when and it would be best if I didn't leave the hospital. Why bring me in at 7am then? I didn't hear anything else after that, only that I was to drink a shot (barely that) of water once an hour. At 15:55, after everyone had been taken away to have their own surgeries, a nurse finally pulled me into a room. Success! ...and I got canceled on. I'd spent 33 hours with no food, no knowledge of my surgery time, no information, nobody asked how I was going, whilst in those shitty bolt upright wooden chairs. I've actually now figured out that in the two changes of my surgery dates within this last week I've spent over £300 in trying to get hotels, trains, food and whatever else we've needed. I now have to wait until Monday to see if I can have my surgery this week. But to get it someone else has to be canceled on. I felt bad for the nurse that told me. I hope he knows I don't fault him. ----- I should add here, I'm not interested in being told about whether or not I should appreciate the NHS. Whether its normal for this to happen. My pain and my anger at this whole situation are my own. This is certainly not the first time I have dealt with the NHS on a personal basis and I have lost loved ones due to lack of care. We can argue about why that is until we're blue in the face. This is simply to let those know who wanted to know, what happened.

You and me both. I am sure you will Animal you're a lovely bloke!

I'm glad eventually you got there and mostly, now the haze has disappeared a bit, I am too. One day I won't be so angry at the system, but I won't ever allow it the forgiveness for the amount of fuck ups and pain I've been in over it.

Oh @Ashley they are fun as fuck to ride. You know nothing!

Christ I had forgotten how tricky online dating is. Good luck to you both! I know people go on about how its easier for women, but sometimes I think people need to remember "Stunningly attractive women" because fuck knows I never found it easy. Whoops, there goes my tiny rant. Anyway gushy stuff ahead, be warned singletons!

<3 RIP So today, I had what can only be described as a full on breakdown at my work. Long story short, someone royally eff'ed up my surgery date at the hospital, so instead of it being Tuesday (the 25th), which my letter stated, someone at the hospital thought it was supposed to be today. I only found out because they rang me letting me know the surgical team were ready and where the hell was I. At 10am, when it would have started at 7am. The issue with that was a couple of things: 1. The waiting list for this surgery is 6 months. 2. I had booked a pretty pricey hotel thinking it was Monday In the end I had to walk with my manager, crying my eyes out in front of all my colleagues (my desk to the front office means I pretty much walk by every team I work with) and had to sit down and breathe. Until the hospital called me back. Thankfully, either the hospital realised the mistake or I sounded pitiful enough that they put me to have the surgery this coming Friday - 28th. ------- The world goes on about how amazing the NHS is to be a free service, but as you guys have seen, it has been anything but for me. I'm now over a year since my symptoms first appeared, two hospitals, with the wrong diagnosis in August, three months of missing papers and now I finally get a surgery date and they fuck it up! If it wasn't for the fact its a chronic condition I would absolutely pay to go private care. Fuck this.

Hnngg, a triumph is a fantastic bike to start with. @Shorty for some reason I couldn't recall you getting a motorbike, when did you become so cool?

I think its probably because I've played too many mmos now. At any rate, I'm still finding it very fun, mostly because of the story. Holy cow is there a lot!

I'm an Archer (well Bard I guess). Which I am enjoying. I sort of wish I had rolled a healer because it seems far easier to level that way. (doing dungeons etc). Yes you have to be online! Whats your user? I'll keep an eye
