    Hello everyone.

    Sadly I have to shop in a while as the kids seem to have eaten all the food in the house already! So no nsd for me :(

    On a positive note, I thought I would have to pay to see an osteopath for my back, but went to see my GP first and he has referred me for physio on the NHS. So that's great.

    Jedi, I hope your headache disappears soon.

    Have a good day.

    If you buy a pre payment thingy AFAIK they can backdate it & you would get a refund of what you have paid.HTH.
    Whey hey.. going to get my money back!! :j:j Thanks beanielou :T !!

    I paid for a 3-month PPP last night - pre-dated to last week (£28.25). Then went back to the docs this morning (Wart Clinic :eek:) and talked to one of the pharmacists. Our surgery has its own pharmacy and they were great about it. As I had paid by debit card on Monday they couldn't give me a refund back on my card (don't know why not!), but they filled in a form for me to take to a chemist to get a refund there, odd, but that's how it's done! I have 30 days to claim...so I will wait until I get the PPP card next week, so I have proof that I am due the refund. Got more prescriptions today (more puffers), but as I have already ordered my PPP, I didn't have to pay!!! :T

    So in three days, I've had £43.20-worth of prescriptions, which will ultimately only cost me £28.25...then there are all the other prescriptions I will be getting in the next 3 months...essentially for free, a great deal methinks!!

    Feeling much better today, though still wheezy. I managed to sleep in bed last night, but been awake since 6am as chest was tight then...so starting to flag now! :o

    Definitely declaring today as NSD no 10...have told DH not to spend a penny!!!!

    Still not sure if I will reach 17 this month...off to Scotland on the 30th (for a week), so that will be a spending day (buses from airport to Dad's)....only 10 days left to get 7...could be possible?? I'll try anyway ;)!

    Right, off to get more knitting done...out of breath again...hung out more washng as we're due rain for the next few days, so getting all the bedding done!! DS2 hung out all the rest, but he is off to college this afternoon...the breeze will help to dry it all...have some back in already :D!

    Now where's my wool and needles...fleece rug and cushions...got to make myself comfy don't you know!!

    I had 1 yesterday and should be another 1 today so I am up to 9 NSD, got DS to pay for the steak pie he wanted for dinner yesterday and dug up veggies from my allotment to go with it.

    Then we ran out of electric with 10 days to go to the end of the month! DD & DS have been putting their electric heaters on in their bedrooms, so DS paid for the top up on the key meter :) to help me out.

    The gas is low too so am going to have to top that up tomorrow. Thats OK tho as Direct Debits go out aswell making it a spending day :)

    Won't make my 18 I foolishly thought it would be easy to get, as not enough NSD's left in the month. Will aim for as many as I can though.

    Not a nsd for me - stopped to buy some cough medicine on the way home, as it's getting a lot worse :(

  • Another NSD for me today :D - Well, I spent money but I bought things for Cubs so it's not my money I was buying with!
    Was great - should do it more often:rotfl:

    That makes it up to 9 NSDs yay! Might even beat my target which would be fantastic :j
