    Take the drink (and notice there is no water added) and two paracetamol, when going to bed - it helps you sleep (d.s permitting) and also to sweat the germs out.

    errrr... I would have thought alcohol & paracetamol is a no, no concoction:eek: but then different culture has their own different way of curing:D

    BLUE, I went to night market last night & me cannot find anyone selling imitation watches - so I asked one seller, where has all the branded watches gone - he said we are not allowed to sell no more:(. This place where I am staying is out skirt of the city - me don't like to go to city its way too hot/humid for me to go shop on the street.


    Nearly bought 3 pairs of Hugo Boss socks cost around 2.50pound for DS but notice that it only printed "Boss":rotfl::rotfl: so did not get any:D


    The malls here are huge but they don't sell fake stuff;);) I am ready to go back home to my winter wonderland:A:A

    Quite a "collectors" club here isn't there ?

    BLUEWKD, MT, DrWW, Aesop, CW and now kerri . and have I seen Raven and (is it ??) CouponMad making similar posts somewhere ?


    Thank you ASDA .......

    ... actually that's a BIG THANKS to the :T ANONYMOUS :T DONOR :T :rotfl:

    and :beer: ASDA :beer: for facilitating the offer :xmassign: :xmassign:


    Don't forget about me Quoia -

    I might not drivel as much as a lot of you but I do post my wombling anecdotes and Im up there with you champions!

    This coming year I plan to write down all my wombling successes and tot it up at end of year. I wish I had done it for 2011 but I do believe it has to be near £700, (especially so when Tesco accepted apg also - that was gert lush!).

    Don't forget womblers - that many people will be buying shed loads again for new year so the large "carefree and couldn't give a toss how much it all costs" brigade will be out in force the next few days (Friday probably; I plan to take some sandwiches and a flask and sit in Asda car park for a couple of hours lying in wait, lol!) and the receipts will be a-flapping. OH has said he will take dd3 into Bristol's cribbs causeway's Mall to spend her christmas money so I can womble in peace. Awww, my hubbie loves me...

    My third Christmas without my angel at home, but we made a decision last year to mix it up a bit and make some new memories. Chloe is still very much a part of our Christmas and I still make her place up at the table, leave a little christmas tree with messages from us as a family and her friends visit her and leave messages too which always touches my heart, but its time to move forward I think. No one could deny that for a mum this has got to be one of the hardest things to do, but Im learning. Hand on heart, this Christmas has been another emotionally challenging one, 3 years on, but I do believe I can see a flickering light. Yes, its definately time to move forward, but she will always, always be in my heart.

    Sorry you are not well Aesop, sending hugs x

    also wanted to share this little story. Christmas Eve we went for nibbles at a friends' house. Another friend was there who has a daughter, in her 30's now, with special needs. I wondered with trepidation if my youngest, 7, would say something inappropriate, like kids do. They were sat side by side on a sofa, all a bit awkward for a few minutes until my friend's daughter put her arm around mine and cuddled her in. She then started stroking Amelia's head, then tickled her. Amelia giggled and from that moment on they were united by laughter alone and spent the next four hours in each other's company, laughing, colouring in, playing with plasticine and dancing around with glow up wands. No judgments, no pre-conceived ideas, no embarrassment. Forever friends. Was a beautiful thing to witness!

    Best wishes everyone whatever their plans this coming week. x
    Love, through the trees, past the sky, beyond the northern lights; and I won't let go. May your soul and spirt fly sweetheart x

    My alphabet-girls are with me every step of the way x

    I know what your sayin but taking this is is more beneficial than Lemsip and I'm only talking about two paracetamol which is the same strength as Lemsip Max. Far too many folk take drinks like lemsip and then also take painkillers as well and this could cause more problems.

    I dont think 25ml of alcohol used before sleeping will be an issue even for non drinkers but each to his own. :)
