Aslong as your registered with the health club it will go through automatically. Just check with SA it is activated as there was a bit of a blip a few months ago where it was taken off some cards, but the SA will have a little thing they scan to activate it if you go to the pharmacy counter to pay

I have never heard of a mix of Ibuprofen and codeine

Paracetamol and Codeine(americans add caffeine instead) are analgesic and are used to relieve headaches, dental pain and pain from injury etc

Codeine is added when you need to relief not just mild pain, but moderate pain.

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) used to relieve pain and inflammation such as muscular aches and pains, headache, backache, rheumatic pain etc

But you can use paracetamol with added codeine alongside ibuprofen if your in alot of discomfort.

:T Wow, thank you. They don't call you Dr. Broclo for nothing do they?

Nurofen Plus is <squints at box> 200mg ibupfofen and 12.8mg codeine phosphate. They're the only things that work on my killer headaches but they are rather expensive. But then, I'm a little reluctant to try anything that's not the same mix, as I've tried soooooo many different painkillers over the years that haven't worked.

Sorry for the OTness everyone else.

Hi pesky2

I'm married to one of those people that as soon as something is purchased, they have to use it, and unfortunately he started to use it the day it was bought. (I can't grasp that concept )

Sorry that I can't have been more helpful and hope that your OH has a lovely birthday - with a Davidoff if anyone else has one spare?

Yeah that is a teeny dose of codeine, same as you'd get in solphadine or migraleve etc.

The boots paracetamol/codeine contains 8mg and the extra version in the red box has an added 30mg of caffeine

May be worth a shot taking a standard boots paracetamol/codeine along with an ibuprofen as Nurofen plus are a bloomin fiver!

Then.on clearance I found some TD peel kits

for £1.60 so got 3 with a tillspit :j SA wanted me to put them through one at a time but I said could you try them together,she was lovely and was pleased at my bargain!:T
I was pleased too so did it again!

You and my OH must share the same keen eye for these sort of things dotchas

He picked up one of these:

http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=124194&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

but in the old packaging. It was £5 so he paid for it, got 2 x splits then spotted 3 packs of the replacement sponge heads at £2 each so got all 3 of those for a till split and £1 ...! :j

Off to watch BB. Laters x

The local shop is so tiny, can't be more than 12ft square, but I did get the 2 mags (oh you don't want them says the assistant we've got the new ones here) so got 2 old 1 new and managed to buy 2 of the TD lip plumpers for £2 after the till split and she let me use the vouchers as well. So 400 points on a £2 spend. But they have all gone so I can't get any more vouchers:(

The Time Delay lip plumpers in the new packaging say £2.49 in my Boots
