Still not allowed to fly - but am pressing for a trip to Queensland for my zero birthday in lieu of Alaska. More tests, CT scans, blood tests. Lupus on the list. I was healthy in early December. Maybe I should take up smoking. At least Insurance paid for Alaska cancellations.
 
The 'zero' birthday you are referring to is of course your 40th :oops:
Good luck with the flying clearance - when were you supposed to be travelling? I thought June????

No return, they've cancelled once I've cut the order but not shipped. The item contains 20 pieces of fabric (and clearly states it) but they were hoping for 40. The price should've been a big clue. So for them 'good faith' means 'I didn't read the description'.

I'm struggling to understand what difference it makes. ;)
But they're clearly talkin' out their proverbial. Perhaps they heard the phrase and think it sounds good.
Victorians? :rolleyes:

Of course. :p.
Alaska plans were in 3 weeks time. Just as well I pre-emptively cancelled that in March. Would be a very large claim as the cruise was due for payment. Now - See a physician on 24th and fly out 27th. Come what may.

But clearly, haematologists do not like people with dvt to fly.

Yeah. I know. But I just cant equate this with something like cancer. Its like an invisible threat.

Sorry JohnK, but I felt left out after Pushka, drron and others changed and felt compelled to join them.

I thought that I would get in on the act too. I had the old avatar since 2006. Hope you all like my new Half American grandsons koala on the balcony at Como!
 
I'm also due to change my avatar in the next few days ... just deciding the right picture at the moment!

Public servants act at the instruction of ministers. If your gripe is against the minister, so be it (we the people elected them), but it's not fair to blame public servants.
