Hey girls,
Having my op on Tuesday and just wondered who of you have been to Fitzroy and which car park you used out of the available options and how much it cost? Did you have to pay upfront online or can you pay on the day? And where there loads of spaces or should I have a back up car park just in case! Thanks little chickens xxxx
There’s an NCP car park not far at all from MYA that you can walk too but the barriers wasn’t working yesterday so we went around the corner & found a cheaper one but still spent £28 on parking there & that was for 6 hours! NCP would of been more expensive so it was a good job that we couldn’t go in there haha their really close though & all within walking distance:) good luck!! xxxx
Ah thanks babe! Can you remember what the cheaper one was called? And how far of a walk away is it? That’s the other thing, how do we know how long we will be there for. The nurse said be prepared for it to be all day, but 6 hours doesn’t seem all day considering they said I’d be in around 7-9am ish time, I’d be out early afternoon! Do you have to pay before or can you pay when you get there? And have a choice of hours! Sorry million and one questions! My partner is just a nightmare for parking tickets so if I don’t organise it to a t something will go wrong = yet another fine probably! HAH!
How are you after your op anyway? Happy? xxx
I’m so sorry I don’t remember but we went to the NCP car park & followed the “P” sings then for the cheap car park literally just around the corner! You’ll know which one I’m talking about straight away, think they were the only two there:) & it was literally a two minute walk over to MYA then from there:) nothing to worry about babe, you just park there & keep your ticket on you then pay whenever time you get back then, you’ll put your ticket in the machine & it comes up with the amount so it isn’t possible to get a fine haha:) yeah thanks hun, I’m over the moon! Aching a little but that’s all part of the recovering & fun haha good luck for your op babe:D xxx
We found it sooo hard to find anywhere my bf had to drop me off cause of traffic it took forever and I was sent to my room and he ended up having to pay 40 pounds to park and I was ringing him getting really stressed that he wouldn’t see me before I went down haha, definitely have a look online before you go!!!

I went to fitzroy 2 weeks ago, its alled clipstone mews i think its underground 5 mins from the hospital i paid £30 for 12 hours hope that helps xx
Ah thanks girls! Ah I’ll try find that one! That’s much better when you can pay at the end. Yeah the £40 one is the one they recommend on the info sheets they give you but I looked it up and saw it was the most expensive so trying to find a cheaper one! £30 for 12 hours is pretty good tbh! Holly is that the same one Elishia is talking about? Where you can pay at the end? And can you pay on card? Blimey so many questionsss! Freakkking out and getting nervous when I have lots of questions! HAHA! Ah Elishia I’m so happy for you 🙂 I’ll have to have a perv over your new assets soon! HA! Thanks little chickpeas xxxxxx
Holly that rings a bell, it was definitely that carpark Jessii & really easy to find.. You’ve probably been given the postcode for the NCP carpark so if you head towards that but then follow the sings that have the blue “P” on them you’ll come to that clipstone mews carpark, we paid at the end depending on how many hours we were there & we paid on card:D hahaha you’re more than welcome too, you’ll have your own bobbies before you know it Jessii:D good luck lovely! xxxxx
Yeahh we payed after 🙂 and if your going on a weekday remember to check the congestion charge. Hope all goes well xx
Oh perfect! DUMB QUESTIONS ALERT – how do i check the congestion charge, I know we have to pay one but have never driven that far into London before, so have no idea how to go about paying for it, please help! HAH! And how much is it? And thanks! Hows your healing going? xxx
Go on the TFL Website (travel for london) you can pay it on there i think its £10 or ring them up and double check, yeahh im 13 days post op and it gets better trust me lol im just getting bored pf wearing a sports bra lool 🙁 good luck for your op bet your well excited i was just petrified of needles lol xx
I literally typed “congestion charge” into google & paid £11.50, I bought a v pillow off eBay but apparently asda sells them too, I have been using it since coming home but if you don’t have one & have allot of pillows on your bed you should be fine it does the same job although I keep needing a lift off my boyfriend so that I can sit up or get out of bed but that might just be me being lazy:p I took 4 different sports bras with me but Dr Singh put some strapping on so I haven’t even bothered wearing a bra yet, my boobs look like comes atm because of the strapping but I’m not really wandering the streets & shops everyday so I don’t care haha I have a front fastening sports bra for when my strapping comes off though:) xxxx
Thanks girlies! Just doing that now! Ahhhh that’s so good! By two weeks are you able to do everything yourself? Get up, cook, shower, go out etc? Ah you’ve still got four weeks to go :/ Have you bought one with thinner straps etc to be able to wear out? I think I’m going to have to look into that later because I’ve only got ones with massive thick straps!
And I saw one at Asda and should have bought it online when I bought my bra but totes forgot! I’m hoping I’ll be okay with lots of pillows and I’ve got a headboard so hoping that’ll help! If that fails Mum can do an emergency trip to the shops 😀 HA! I don’t think that’s you been lazy little one! Everyone says they need help gettng up and out of bed because you use all your chest muscles! How long is it that bad for though? Because that’s gonna be a nightmare! Ha! I’ll have to give Mumsie a bell! HAH! xxxxx
