New Year resolutions for 2020

1. Use phone torch when walking in dark places

2. Learn to use phone torch

3. Call less ambulances

4. Don’t eat oysters (smashed that one)

5. Stop making silly faces in meetings at work I’m meant to be chairing.

6. Remember to not speak with my pets’ voices in supermarkets

7. And restaurants

8. Stop giving other drivers rude names

9. Gracefully accept the lack of takeaway deliveries to rural areas and stop stalking multi-national takeaway chains on Social Media. Or the phone.

10. Appreciate that going shopping without changing from chicken cleaning may be perceived as ‘weird old woman covered in straw and what might be mud...’

Happy New Year all of you lovely people, and a happy (maybe a smidge less) to those not so lovely. 🥂🥂🥂🍾🍾🍾 (that booze is mine, hands off)

My new resolution is to avoid ladies wearing straw and what looks like mud 💩lol and also to grimly hang on to my bottles of booze 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾 and surrender them to no one under any circumstance. 😡😖😫😷

When you smash No.2 could you share the knowledge? Genius list of resolutions, after No.2, I love 8 and 10 - especially No.10!

I have learned No.2

I have had to use my phone torch to help a nurse shove a cannula in my vein in the middle of the night and a doctor wanting to take an arterial blood sample ( that really hurt) as the light by my bed didn't work

Good grief - sounds like you were in a field hospital in a war zone!

Bed 22 opposite the loo in a north London hospital .

The light was still not working 4 months later when I was admitted again to the very same bed!

Love this thread. Happy New Year all and sundry. My rather boring and in some cases foolhardy resolution is to stop researching POSSIBLE interactions of my new med with well established ones and believe Consultants are wiser than me and the BNF should be sufficient!!!

Sunnie2day in reply toBagrat

BNF?

SpiritoftheFloyd profile image
SpiritoftheFloyd in reply toSunnie2day

I worked there for a short period of time - BNF - British Nuclear Fuels

Sunnie2day profile image
Sunnie2day in reply toSpiritoftheFloyd

Well I'm having a 'senior moment' - what would BNF have to do with a heart condition? (fully prepared here to be embarrassed at my ignorance when you reply:) )

in reply toSunnie2day

I might be foreshadowing the reply, but I would put my left non- dominant circumflex artery ( the one that still works) on it’s meant to say BHF, as in British Heart Foundation.

BNF

British National Formulary?

Every pharmacist's favourite publication

Sunnie2day in reply toMilkfairy

Now that really makes sense, thank-you! (Now added to my growing list of abbreviations and acronyms)

in reply toMilkfairy

Clever clogs 😏

We will have to see what Bagrat says.....😊

in reply toMilkfairy

I actually meant to put what you put but it accidentally autocorrected to BHF. So we’ll call it even stevens 😬

MilkfairyHeart Star in reply to

Haha😂

Bagrat profile image
Bagrat in reply toMilkfairy

Correct. British National Formulary And every nurse's too. Nurses are very bad using abbreviations. A famous unintelligible one written by night nurse on urology ward

HNPU DNT. I will return later to enlighten anyone interested

Milkfairy profile image
MilkfairyHeart Star in reply toBagrat

My response was based on my knowledge that you are a former nurse.

HNPU - Has Not Passed Urine?

DNT -Did Not Test?

Nurse trying to explain why no urine sample was tested?

Milkfairy Right on the first bit alas second more obscure!

Happy New Year Sillyfroggy. Love the resolutions especially no 10! I have seen me kick my boots off at our village shop door and put them on again when I left!
