clan mac Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi Clan Mac Just noticed the date for your medicals, are you having them done in Edinburgh? We had ours there today, everything went relatively smoothly, nice (very new) place, lovely staff who put ourselves and our 4 year old at ease. OH's blood pressure was a bit high at first but he does have a fear of needles and was nervous about getting his blood taken. Got it taken a while later and was fine, phew! Were there for just under 2 hours and all results are being sent via e-health. Cheers Janice & Stuart Hi Janice & Stuart, Thanks for your encouraging post. We are having the medicals done in Edinburgh and feeling a bit anxious. Not really sure what's involved (X ray, urine, bloods, BP check and BMI check???) Glad to hear that the staff are friendly and helpful. We are also having our results sent via e-health. Did you have to pay extra for this?? Have read some other posts where the variance in costs ranged from a couple of quid to a couple of hundred :shocked: Hopefully you guys should hear something really soon. Best of luck and keep us posted. Lorraine, Ian and boys xxx PS anyone on here from Preston/Leyland area???? I will be in that vicinity this weekend for a specialist Zumba training?????

Hi Lorraine & family Regarding medicals in Edinburgh, firstly our appointment was changed as the doctor who normally does the oz meds was off sick but am sure they're all as nice as each other! Handed over our e-health forms and passports first, paid the fee (no extra charge for online processing) then had our photos taken. Taken through individually to see the nurse who checked weight, height, eye test, BP, blood test then finally urine, was bursting by then. Then went in to see the doctor who discussed what we had put down on the forms then did thorough testing of eyes, ears, throat, chest sounding,glands, blood circulation. No mention of BMI at any point. Was spared breast exam as am under 40, just. Next went for x-rays then we were done, were told that all results would be sent within a week. Have just checked and our daughter's are already finalised. Had been good and healthy all week so treated ourselves to a large glass or two of vino at home.. Hope this helps, feel free to PM us. Enjoy your weekend, Janice x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our house and car is sold and we are also staying with family.. Wish the grant's will come quickly now!! Yeah if we dont get a grant letter before the 31st March then OH will have to wait to resign. We had a cash offer on the house and was good price wise so we took it. The lawyers are working on it and because its a cash offer it will be a faster deal,as opposed to a person with a bond,that would take a while.:jiggy: After talking it over we decided to take the offer,we have seriously out grown this house,,am emotionally detached now:nah:,we have lived here for 10 years and 6 months.
