Nope, never took it out of the box. But, the salesperson said this tent was super easy to set up; even in windy conditions...

Been off to hospital outpatients to get my finger seen again - must say I was very impressed (today).
Went in at 11.30 and ws out and off down the road by 12.10pm after having x-rays and seeing Dr (or Mr) and having it re-dressed.
Not so impressed that he wants to see me next week and I have to go to Lancaster again for it (120 mileish round trip) as they don't do a clinic at Kendal next week (50 mile round trip)

Oh hum - way cheaper to be well than ill.

Why do huge hospitals (Lancaster, Carlisle is as bad) have such small car parks - less than 100 spaces - that have to do staff and patients and out patients and visitors AND you have to pay for parking as well.

Hospitals.. A place I have got used to this week.. our poor blake was admitted again early this evening after only coming home yesterday. the antibiotics provided are not doing the trick so he has had to go back in for the intravenous. He's doing well though although not happy with it.. I left him n mum about 10pm and popped to a friends house to take some time out having dropped his brother off (who broke his leg last week also!) with my folks and ended up going to the pub which was good to relax and just try and chill for a while..

But all credit it to the hospital staff they have been brilliant :)

I wondered why they were both in hospital, but didn't want to be nosey, but i will now....is Blake in hospital because of chicken pox? It must be very stressful for you all.
Both my parents are going in for ops later this month, only found out yesterday, they are on holiday at mo, & i just want them back so we can start planning care.

The chicken pox alone would be fine, but he also became infected with Cellulitis, left side around the armpit, extending around the back came up all red and inflated. caused pain if you were to touch, he could not put his arm down because of it. Mum spent the night with him last night, and just spoke to her and he's doing really well this morning.

I'm guessing you see facebook updates hence the wondering, you could have asked :), Both my wife and I started posting the facebook updates and photos for family, to try and cut down on the telephone calls so we could focus on him, update takes no time, telephone calls take ages lol.. and it worked.

The holiday will do your parents good, although to relax a little before they go in. Hope all go's well for them.

Hi Andy, glad things are looking a little better.

I haven't been on FB for awhile, I'll go take a look at your updates.

All the best Mate.

I'm going to give the sim another go next weekend, i think maybe i didn't let enough air into it. (anything to save me having to go in the attic to get another airbed :lol: )

Yeh, you should give it another try. Have you got a foam mat you can slip under for a bit of extra cushioning and maybe a fitted type sheet to wrap round it, keep meaning to try the sheet myself.
