Ruined my work Christmas lunch 😢
Because it wasn’t in bold it wasn’t spotted and I had to read the ingredients several times to spot it when my taste buds made me suspicious

[alliO @alliorton]

@EFSA_EU been caught out again because alcohol is not classified as an allergen & isn’t bold on ingredients.
It interacts with my medication and makes me sick.
How to alcoholics cope?
I ate @waitrose chocolate panettone which seemed safe & something you would give a child!

[alliO @alliorton]

@CCSMSK this is you!
Letter says ring if you have questions so I did and was told she could get him to ring me. Ummm when? Another call at an unknown is no use as the same thing will happen - duh 🙄

[alliO @alliorton]

Why do medical professionals cold call with results?

Do they not realise patients have jobs & may not be able to answer random phone calls?

I missed the call, no message left and got a letter with around 100 words that doesn’t give me any useful info.
🤬🤦‍♀️🤬

[alliO @alliorton]

So I phoned and spoke to a kind lady who said she could get him to call me which will have exactly the same problem as she would not give me a time slot 🤦‍♀️

Have now emailed but am not convinced I will get anywhere…

[alliO @alliorton]

@CUH_NHS That one works - thank you!

[alliO @alliorton]

@Channel4 wondering why you think those of us who don’t like football love Titanic? According to my Facebook memories you did exactly the same when football was on BBC1 and ITV in 2014! 😳
Not watching it tonight either - streaming it is for me!

@VersusArthritis I was recently told by a rheumatologist that "you will just have to suffer", that was just one of many bad moments in that consultation. After complaining via PALs I am relieved that I never have to see him again!

[alliO @alliorton]

People tend to only share bad reviews and criticism so I want to say thank you to @BritishGas who have credited my bank account without me asking. They reviewed my account, believe I had too much credit & sorted it.Most companies make you chase for this so thank you!

[alliO @alliorton]

So if work office hours you are missing work to go and lunchtime is never long enough as I have always been at least 1.5hrs waiting.
Is there a way of having booking slots to fast track or a website to show how busy it is?

[alliO @alliorton]

@CUH_NHS park & ride blood test idea is genius but the reality is impractical. Tried just now given ticket 13 screen on 47 so 3hr ish wait so I left. 2 computers down today so nightmare!
Getting them printers would help!
At least the screen is fixed!
Only open from 9:30 - 4:30

[alliO @alliorton]

This is all the info I received for a video appt. A text reminder & the appointment in MyChart neither have the link I needed which I only got via a call to the dept who sent a pdf I didn’t have. How many missed appts are due to patients not having the info? @CUH_NHS

[alliO @alliorton]

@MoraigMonkey Yes.

[alliO @alliorton]

@247homerescue If I hadn’t had my boiler serviced by you and used a plumber then I wouldn’t have waited 1.5 days to be told you won’t cover the fix. They may well have just got a part and fixed it by now. Moral of the story don’t get your boiler serviced by an insurance company… 🤦‍♀️

[alliO @alliorton]

@247homerescue just to say I would not recommend this company. Their phone was off 1hr before the answer phone message said it closed on Friday and I have been without my boiler since Thursday when the man who stank of cigarettes serviced my boiler and said it was unsafe (part1)

[alliO @alliorton]

@247homerescue No one I spoke to gave me a reference number. I spoke to someone on Friday morning who said someone would call me back and then a few minutes ago. They were both polite and friendly but said they can’t do much apart from get a manager to call me

[alliO @alliorton]

I hoped that but paying for insurance I would not be in the position of not having a boiler for days but well that’s not my experience. At least it is still warm and I have an electric shower!
Why pay for insurance? My advice don’t bother and I will not be renewing. (If art3)

[alliO @alliorton]

Just had a gone call and the quote won’t be available till at least Monday at which point I will have been without my boiler for 4 days. The fix won’t be covered anyway so I will look for someone else.
(Part2)
