  • Good luck for tomorrow Greeny80, will be thinking of you. I know we chatted on the other thread, but thought I'd wish you well on this one too. I brought a little holdall with me with a blanket (which I didn't need), good if you decide to go with cold cap. Also had a neck pillow, head phones to listen to music and kindle. Plus water bottle and a few snacks. Next time I'm bringing my own sandwich, as the one they gave me wasn't great. Let me know how it goes. Xx

  • Thank you Pippin!!! Yes have my headphones and kindle, i'm just about to fnish my book though so will need to get on the case with another one!! Trying the cold cap but we'll see how that goes...thanks for the tips, i can imagine a neck pillow is a good idea too! xx
