February #3

I'm back from London and catching up on emails but won't really be online till tomorrow. I'm catching up on rest. I never sleep well in London cos I stay with my uncle and cousin and they snore like you wouldn't believe.

Anyway, I aced the medical but have to go back to redo the fitness test. I knew I would cos I've never done one of these bleep tests before. At least now, I know what I have to do and have weeks to practise. It's so hard trying to get the timing right when you've never done it before.

Anyway, at least I got all the medical and paperwork out of the way. Gonna check out the nearest gyms and do some jogging hahaha!

So, I leave for London in the morning. I am very nervous about this medical.

I have all my paperwork ready and I'm packed to go.

I had my ears syringed on Friday and everything sounds sooooooo loud, it's very weird.

Wish me luck.

Happy Valentines day everyone!

So, the medical/fitness test is next Monday and I am nervous. I've gotta fill in loads of paperwork about past sick absence and references etc.

I've been to the docs today (1 hour waiting, 45 mins late)to get my BP checked (it's cool) and to get details of why I've been to see them in the past 3 years. It's all been medicine reviews for my tablets, nothing major. But who keeps a detailed record of every time they go to the docs? These forms are annoying. They want too much detail.

Anyway, I am sat with cotton wool in my ears so that the olive oil doesn't dribble out. I have to have it to soften up my ear wax for it to be syringed on Friday. They suggest you do this cos they'll be a hearing test with the medical.

To be honest, I need them doing cos after the three bouts of flu I've had in as many months, they are a bit waxed up.

I know, I know, yuck, yuck, too much detail.

So, I have my coach ticket booked and I'll be off on Sunday. I just hope it doesn't snow so much I can't make it.

Wish me luck please.
