  • yes, why? but if people are off for public holiday that's on monday this year.

    I noticed the 'happy St. Andrew's day' message at the top of the board and thought it might be early.

    I didn't even notice!:o I suppose there will be celebrations throughout the weekend though - not that I am. DS had special day at school on friday though so maybe it is all weekend!

    Hi Lenny

    Thanks for the offer but no thanks!!!

    By the way, has anyone ever read the ingredients on a packet of lemsip (disgusting things in my opinion!)? What a waste of money! As I recall they are:

    paracetamol - buy a cheap packet for 24p
    decongestant - buy a packet of decongestant for approx 99p at Wilkos
    citric acid - some lovely homemade hot lemon and honey instead (half a lemon squeezed, tsp honey, boiling water)
    caffeine - a nice cup of tea or coffee

    a darn site cheaper and far more servings!

    Sorry - one of my bugbears!
