Mel, it is quite possible that your BP rose from the stress of the situation. IYKWIM, you were sitting there trying to defend your decisions and they were being questioned. It's natural for your BPto rise like this.

Good to hear that you scored an 8 on the Bishops scale, I was going to say that a 3 doesn't look very promissing for you.

Good luck for today hun, and you know, if there is anything that your not happy with you can always say no.
