That's great news. (Well, assuming that there isn't something that they just haven't found!
) And they actually told you your results by phone...I had a CT scan a couple of years after being very ill with blood clots and eventually got a letter telling me to go to the hospital to see the consultant. I was scared for days leading up to that appointment. I got to the hospital in good time, but things were running late so I had to hang around for hours, getting increasingly stressed out by it. Eventually the consultant poked his head into the waiting room and asked me to follow him to his office. Close the door behind me. Sit down. Almost designed to induce panic! And then he looked at a sheet of notes on a clipboard... "Right, er, yes - all clear!"
And that was it - WTF!!! I was pretty annoyed at the whole thing and asked why he couldn't he have written or phoned to tell me? His answer was gobsmackingly stupid... "We can't do that because then if we asked somebody to come in they would know that they were NOT okay before they even got it here and might panic."
So instead they make everyone panic and waste the time of people who are not ill and don't actually need to go back to the hospital!

Just had a phone call from the home insurance company to say that my new garage can not be insured as it is too far away.
So if it gets broken into I've lost everything.

Tropical Birdland the destination, 55 miles the journey. An enjoyable morning riding in the autumn sunshine, it was a tad chilly, I'd got cold feet by the time I'd got to the cafe, but an easy wind assisted ride out, but a bit harder on the way back into the breeze. A morning where i was on familiar lanes some of which I hadn't ridden this year. Out through Shilton, Withybrook, Claybrook Pava, Frolesworth and onto Broughton Astley then turned through Sutton In The Elms, Croft and Thurlaston and onto Desford. Leaving Tropical birdland I turned down the main road then turned through Newbold Verdon and Kirby Mallory then onto the main road then turned toward Sutton Cheney then turned through Shenton, crossed the A444 through Atterton and Witherley, crossed the A5 and into Mancetter then turned and rode up Purley Chase and followed a regular route home.

Can you not insure it separately?, or, insure the individual items which are inside, separately.
It will, no doubt, cost more of course...

Dave 7. There are so many things that can affect our health that can be missed until actively looked for. My youngest became ill in high school and was subjected to all kinds of tests, including a psych eval, without identifying the problem. He was in so much pain and so depressed was thinking about suicide. I took a couple of weeks off and took him to the Mayo clinic in Rochester, Mn. Their approach is to give you one doctor to whom all the specialists would report. As the reports came in new tests were scheduled or cancellled based on the results. Bitter cold, though. It was February and the high temp was -19C. Rochester is really set up for this. They have 3 medical facilitiies, all connected by tunnels or sky walks so after you get on the shuttle to the Mayo you can go from one to another without going outside. After 2 weeks they found a viral infection fection a few years earlier had left him with an autoimmune disease that affected his ability to make Vitamin D. 3 months of massive doses of D and a high daily amount after that and he got much better although he still has some problems. One of the scariest times of my life, because if the Mayo couldn't help there wasn't anyplace else to go. Don't give up until you find out what this is. Best wishes, Ron.

I had a hell of a job to get this insurance as soon as you told them it was in a garage block away from the flat they didn't want to know.
I have a door defender and everything is doubled locked inside with ground anchors and I have a alarm system that sends out a text, I don't know what else to do, it makes one wonder if I should sell the lot and save £60 a month on rent.
Just done a quickie I can get the bikes and trike for £140 all the rest kayak fishing gear would cost an arm and a leg, I'm now thinking if it gets nicked sod it.......
.....I need to win the lottey and get my own placeUpdate - the quote for £140 has been declined as the said garage too far away

Let me dig out the name of my insurers. My garage is 500 metres from the house and I have cover. Also have cover on my garden shed which is 300 metres distant.
Nice one Ron, much appreciated.
