medical
We had our medicals today, after a week-end of bricking ourselves because we had the x-rays done on Thursday and then given the results in a sealed envelope as we had to give it to the doctor today.
After all the stress we were all ok. We went to Bath, doctor was very nice and the whole family was seen together (me, the wife and two kids 2 1/2 and 8 months), which made it a lot easier - and yes I did the cough test but fully clothed, even the wife and my 2 1/2 year old had to do it!
All in all it only took an hour for all of us and £340.00 lighter.
Neither of us are worriers, however, if we had to do it again we would have gone to Birmingham or somewhere else where you get eeverythingdone on the same day.

As many others have said on here the medicals are through but nothing to be scared of.
