Hi Louise,

Fortunately, I have insurance and I will let AxaPPP worry about it.

According to my newspaper this weekend the cost varies between £1,550 and £2,950.

I am sure I have seen it offered on the internet at around £1,000 to £1,250

Keep looking for rainbows.

Asylumx All the best with your university interview on february 6. Which University. what do you want to study?

Michael Morton is sometimes called Greenock Morton, because their ground is in Greenock. Yes, your memory was correct!

I don't understand why you are having to wait so long for your operation on the NHS. It may seem kind of Louise to offer to perform the surgery at such a cut rate. I am not sure that I'd feel entirely confident having her,charming and delightful as she is, cut and scoop my eye!
