LindsD Jul 2019 11:07am, 30 Jul 2019 28,737 posts	0 LindsD Just logged on to make an appointment and there's nothing until 3 October. I wanted to do it before Ealing Half on 29 Sept. I'm banned until 13 Sept. Grr. Don't know what to do. Will have to leave it a good few weeks after the half just to be safe. I'm sure I booked one a month in advance last time.
