That seems odd. It's just a GP requested blood test in the first instance, and as long as she hasn't stopped eating gluten, it will give you the answer (IIRC there is a small chance if a false negative). I would insist.

Unfit for purpose.Originally posted by Lockhouse View PostT Waited three weeks for a replacement which had issues from day one and now that's gone wrong a week later and we have to wait another week for an engineer. No wonder I've been told my blood pressure is through the roof. I'm sure there's other stuff but that'll do for now.
Demand a replacement.
Feeling nostalgic for CP/M are we?
I'm looking after next door's cat for a week.
I trust it won't die.

Has V3 had a coeliac screen?Originally posted by vetran View PostSorry to hear that Lockhouse, luckily most of it is only money. Sad to hear about Mrs Lockhouse that is scary. Miss V3 is currently being tested for allergies ( she is complaining of tummy ache too frequently even for the doctors). Allergies do seem frighteningly common nowadays.
I have a full dance card this weekend Mrs v is on a course so combine daddy day care with fitting a loo & mowing the lawn. I may fire up the Barzeebo and see if we can get a pizza out of it.
oops where are my manners - TFA

Time to trade in the wife for a newer model perhapsOriginally posted by Lockhouse View PostTFA.
Just battening down the hatches for winter - garden furniture in the cellar etc. Lots of jobs around the house. Very quiet hopefully.
Been a tulip few weeks actually.
My wife's car has been written off - engine has blown, got a mega bill from the garage for all the new parts they fitted until they realised. So lost 5k for the car, plus 2.5k for the bill and now have to go out and buy her a replacement. I got my client letter this morning asking about my IR35 status so that's going to hit the fan shortly. My wife has been diagnosed with a late onset allergy - she now has to carry around Epipens. We went out for dinner last week to celebrate our anniversary and she nearly ended up in A&E with an asthma attack. Our dishwasher bit the dust. I spent £200 trying to get it fixed only to be told it was uneconomic. Waited three weeks for a replacement which had issues from day one and now that's gone wrong a week later and we have to wait another week for an engineer. No wonder I've been told my blood pressure is through the roof. I'm sure there's other stuff but that'll do for now.
Yourself? Hopefully less stressful than mine.
Anyhoo going on the people’s march in London and having beer

Same as every weekend - build a bit more of my extension.
Got a nice family meal on Sunday, though - rather looking forward to that
