My girlfriend always puts me on speaker phone whenever I call her at work. I find this incredibly annoying. I've made progress in retraining her by making a point of calling her mid-evacuation.

When to seek medical advice

It's normal to experience upsetting and confusing thoughts after a traumatic event, but in most people these improve naturally over a few weeks.

You should visit your GP if you or your child are still having problems about four weeks after the traumatic experience, or if the symptoms are particularly troublesome.

Your GP will want to discuss your symptoms with you in as much detail as possible. They'll ask whether you've experienced a traumatic event in the recent or distant past and whether you've re-experienced the event through flashbacks or nightmares.

How did you manage to get a place? Not only is it really expensive (from what I remember) it also sells out years in advance. I seriously considered it after I ran my first marathon, but you'd have to plan years in advance.

Have you watched any of the MDS documentaries? It looks brutal, but the bragging rights must surely be worth it!
