Touching my toes for him, he then demanded ' Please do a handstand against the door, making sure your feet touch the black line'

I did that but was too short to touch the black line and nearly fell over as my tits hit my face like a pair of hound dog ears.

'Please cartwheel diagonally across the room, this is the balance test'

'Shit' I thought, havent done that in ages.

I did it, not very well but I did it all the same.

Abdel had to do the same as well.

At the end of it, he made me read a chapter of 'Bridget Jones Diary' to prove I could read and Abdel had to read 'War and Peace' (the end bit)

That was it!







(rolling around on the floor snorting at my own joke)

Only kidding! Two words to say 'Category A' Just thought I would tease you all!


Providing the HIV results come back negative then we are fine! Actually, seeing doctor fill in a form and writing down 'HIV' made us a touch nervous, and he said he wont contact us unless there is a problem with it.

Guess who wont be wanting to answer the mobile tomorrow :scared: I found it seriously nerving to even have a test for that and Ive been married 15 years. I messed my pants when we had that done and it is a test I have never even thought of until now.

The doctor was lovely and said my lung function is better than his and both of our blood pressure is fine, hes happy with our weight and said we are in excellent health.

Thank god its over.

I have got such a headache now and to say I feel emotionally shagged out is an understatement.

Wait a minute.... you got CHARGED hundreds of pounds to perform gymnastics in your knickers?

We had a low alcohol beer in a restuarant. As we have given up drinking, it made both of us feel pissed, both of us have a headache and even Abdel has gone to lie down. We are officially teetotal now, cannot hold it if we tried.

Doctor said 'Ill only call you if your bloods are positive'

You can have my share.

Doctor didnt even ask about my broken leg. He just read about it on the form and didnt even bother.

He did listen to my chest and check about lung capacity though.

Tell me about it !!

When we had ours, she undercharged me £100, she was quite suprised when I went back and told her what she'd done.

But then I said to her "well you may have been testing to see how honest we were"

We had to have meds in one building, xrays down the road and bloods in another building.

It all went so quickly though, all that worry and the whole thing is over.

I cant recommend Harley Street enough though, staff nice and friendly yet polite.

Warning though, the doctor doesnt take credit cards, only cheques or cash. Radiographer does take cards.

I shall be happier when tomorrow is over with and I know the bloods are fine.

You know the doctor told me that lots of migrants have HIV tests done privately to make sure they are negative and then go to him for another test. They want to find out before the medical.

I couldnt go through that twice!

Did anyone else feel nervous of that test? I dont have much of a 'past' at all yet it scared me shitless.

No not really nervous at having it done as I've lots of blood tests in the past, but there's always a shadow of doubt that they'll find something

You'll be fine Karma on it's way
