A race to get the mortgage paid off before I keel over with a stress induced heart attack.

Well it’s either a viral infection, my BP playing the Hokey Cokey and going up and down for no reason or a mini stroke but he’s pretty sure it isn’t that.

Cholesterol is spot on and other than a few things, headache, wobbliness and a wee tremor I have turning into a shake, no other symptoms for a stroke but he can’t fully rule it out. BP in the surgery actually behaved itself and went down to 130/88, it’s a miracle!

Phoned my best mate and he simply asked ‘well are you dying or not, if you are, can I get yer whisky collection?’. That’s caring in Scotland for you…

He wouldn't be your best mate if he did anything less. :mrgreen:
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
