I had to go for a blood test today.  I was not allowed to eat or drink for 12 hours.  I don't mind the not eating but as I don't drink water unless it has been flavoured with squash, I was glad when it was time for me to go there.  I was then told it was now done by appointment only, up to 11 0'clock and I could come back in 2 hours time and if they were not too busy I might get it done then. I couldn't wait another 2 hours without  drink, plus I would ten worry about getting to work on time if they were busy, sooooo, I am now having it done next Thursday!!!
