I've just had a bill

[tonicha]

from the hospital, from when I broke my leg

41.20 euros.

To be paid by Sunday

Took them long enough to send it, now I have today to pay it

[saundra]

is that dear in uk money?
it annoys me when i get a bill by the time its been printed and delivered
at least a week
it says pay within 5 days or such

[Kaz]

About £35 I reckon Saundra

Oh well Ton, could have been worse I guess

[saundra]

thought ton had missed a few noughts of
it seems cheap or value for money

[JoM]

They don't give you much time to pay do they?

[tonicha]

Wellll, I went to the post officew to pay it, as is normal with hospital bills and he said that I know have to pay it through my bank

Having waited for over half an hour in the post office, than bank was shut but I can pay it through the cash-point, but I don't know how

Will be asking a friend tomorrow, to help out

And when i looked at it properly, it was lots of different blood tests and other bits and bibs, before Gladys and also bandages and plaster for my leg.

Still waiting for the bill for the screws, plate and my dinners

[Kaz]

Cor it's an adventure living sur la congtingong, innit??

[tonicha]

Believe it Kaz

The row in the post office, you wouldn't believe it. There is only one man doing all the bits and bobs and Friday is dole day, so the queue was almost to the door - then one woman statred moaning about how long she had to wait, the people behind me were tutting at her, the people in front were tutting and then started shouting (and the Portugese ain't quiet) the lady sat down started having a go at her, the poor man was also trying his hardest....

and the blasted cheek of her, she took 15 minutes to get her stuff sorted

And, we always, but always say please, thank you, good afternoon etc

not her, she stomped out.

If ever I go there again and see her, I'll walk out

What a palaver!
