Ah, I see. Lost income more than down the toilet.
Could it have something to do with TP runs to BOS and lack of sleep 'cos of noisy bills and paper walls?
Hope you feel better soon. At least you'll be able to wait in for the postman to bring you your shiny new EC card.

(although the "pack" isn't that exciting nowadays. I recall when I first qualified for silver years ago I got a nice wallet with rulebook and all sorts of stuff, including nicely presented baggage tags, card etc. When I qualified again for the first time in years this year, a card and the baggage tags just shoved in an envelope is about it, along with a letter saying "look on the Internet to see what you get")
get well soon. Man-flu requires lots of tea and tv in bed.
