    ......if only chocolate were available on prescription :rolleyes:

    I'd never be away from the Doctors if it was :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
  • Quick update now I am back from the doctors and I can confirm that I have not spent anything, apart from the prescription that is and that was a need.

    The money that I have been transferring over to the savings account so that I can eventually make an overpayment has been working so am pleased with that and today DH’s expenses of £287.80 got paid in :T , so I am going to make a payment of £7.80 over to the savings account as an overpayment.

    DH gets paid in 10 days time and so far we are being very careful and I am very pleased, I guess it does help that I cannot and will not drink. Just wait ‘til I have had the operation!

    Off to update my signature.
  • Just an update as I won’t get chance to do another one ‘til Sunday as very busy tomorrow.

    I have applied for a savings account from HSBC via Quidco earning me £20, I hope, and have been accepted; just got to wait 5 days for the paperwork to come through, this is for my emergency fund, the Alliance & Leicester one is currently for the general savings and the overpayment and the Icesave one is for Christmas only, I do not think that I need another one now.

    I also noticed that I have £2.35 more in Quidco than previously thought, so that can come off my total too for the September challenge.

    I also completed a survey for Valued Opinions earlier and earned a whopping 50p.

    Right off to make the kids dinner, have a good evening all and catch up on Sunday.

    Hi gillypen,

    I'm not too sure what I did, my lower back started hurting about 7 weeks ago, I went to see the Doctor and he put me on Diclofenac which had no effect so I got referred to see a specialist and did it through DH's health insurance through work.

    It appears that I have a herniated disc but mine is so bad that I need an operation to sort it out.

    Tea

  • Thanks Gillypen, so do I.

    It is more painful first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

    At least childbirth wasn't as bad as this....that stopped after a while.
  • Morning all,

    Very tired this morning and my hip is going manic to say the least and I am very tired :(. DH is working at the flying club today and he has given me strict instructions not to do anything and to ring him if I need him; so it might be a case of drinking tea and eating chocolate. Although I have to nip to Boots this afternoon but am using my points so today will be a NSD.

    Did a few clicks and comps yesterday and plan to do some more today.

    Have a good day all and will update later if I get chance.
  • I have just checked Quidco and I made £20.96 yesterday. So very pleased with that off to update my total.

    I have done some more clicks today but still have the comps to do.
  • Yet another day, hope everyone is alright today?

    Woke up this morning with the most awful pain imaginable :( am awaiting a phone call consultation from the doctors this morning as the pain killers prescribed aren’t touching the pain.

    So far it has been a NSD and will be for today as I do not need to buy anything :)

    I have got clicks and comps today and am trying to get my head around the Quidco daily clicks thing, so far I have only managed 6p a day…still it’s better than nothing.

    DH gave me three £2 coins yesterday so these have gone into my terramundi :)

    Going to order the food shopping today too.
