Arrow I shouldn't really, but I can't help myself

Last week I booked my x-ray and medical for 24 June, and I know I shouldn't worry too much. But I can't help myself: I'm going crazy thinking of the best ways to get in top shape!!

I've started drinking huge amount of water each day (makes me want to go to the toilet every half hour), try to stay away from too much fatty, sugary, salty things (it's all about balance), and hope to do a bit of running around the block tonight.

Anyone else experiencing this?

And does anyone know what happens exactly if the doctor ticks the 'B' box? He sends it to the DIMA case officer and from there it gets sent to Australia right? And when the medical officer says it's all okay after all, you get an 'A' and then the forms go back to DIMA?

Who needs a Stethoscope when you have the internet?

It's hardly the most stringent test. Left one, cough, right one, cough. And that's just in the waiting room.
He can type, he can read, he is in.

It was all we had and, you know, it was too much.

I compute that as about $100 today. Put in a claim form.

I will use you as a reference. "A mad ozzie said that ... "
Thanks. The 100 will pay for a minute's rent in UK.
