After the dsicussions on here tonight, I'm panicking about drawing attention to myself!
The coke was £1.98 each (2 for £2), and I thought it would have compared at this!
Oh, and the coffee was on an end at £3, so I got £13 back from being overcharged:T

My word Mrs Frugal it is a great shop!!! Not a mushroom or carrot in sight.

:hello:Evening everyone, just taken me hours to catch up with you all. Well done on the butter, wine and choccies!! None for me as no expresses or As near me
Plus I've spent most of the past 24 hours in a drug induced sleep. Emergency doc visit late Thurs night and a follow up with my GP yesterday has resulted in a diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia.....apparently its a very painful condition (I seriously thought I was having a stroke!!) and can be difficult to treat. Thankfully the pain has eased to a more acceptable level but the tablets are making me really sleepy and queasy so it looks like I'm housebound for a few days:(
My BS order arrived yesterday so I'm gonna go treat myself to a yummy smelling shower and snuggle in my pjs til its time to take my tablets and sleep again

Oh Sharon, that sound so bad and yes, anything to do with nerve pain is extremely painful and it's hard to ease that pain

Ouchies! Mum's had steroid injections and I've been threatened with them in all different joints over the years but I've refused :o:o My joint pains are so spontaneous and follow no pattern, every single joint in my body, some last a day, some last for weeks, there's no rhyme or reason so I can't justify having such a concentrated dose in one joint when it might be something else the next day! I don't know about sod's law, I think they should rename it to Fudge's law!

I've been taking prednisolone steroids since I was 5 :eek::( (am 25 now ) In the first couple of years they would reduce the dose down in stages before bringing me off them completely but it would only take a few months max before a simple cold or another infection would cause a relapse, my bloods would drop and I'd be straight up on a high dose again. Since the age of 7 I've taken them every day. Luckily as I've got older the relapse frequency has reduced and the majority of the time I am on a low maintenance dose but it's been more than enough to do the damage. Unless an alternative is found, I will be on them forever (along with a cocktail of others)

You're right about the bone scan. Mine was only detected because I requested it, intuition I guess The scan is nice and simple and very quick. I really hope the results show a good bone density and you're able to get the pain relief you need :Axx

And reading about MissyMoo's and dearest Fudge_Cake's conditions is so sad too I have had arthritic pain since 1988 and know what constant pain it like, it drags you down so much. And I agree about the steroid injections :eek: :eek: I've had them probably 3 times in my hand, twice in my wrists (carpel tunnel), twice in elbow, once in shoulder and twice into my heel :eek: and they are agony when they actually inject, but mostly do the trick, for a while. But I am lucky in that my arthritis has eased somewhat, or I have adjusted to the pain and I just take generally 4 tramadol a day, unless it does get worse if I've done too much. But this is nothing to what you are going through, I really feel for you all

My sister and I both had asthma passed down from Mam, but my sister's has always been much worse than mine and affected her life much more. She has to have steroids for it fairly regularly, mainly prednisolone, and as a result, she was diagnosed with osteoporosis a couple of years ago. Luckinly, for me, I have only needed a few doses of this and I think my bones are fine, otherwise, with the falls I have had, I would have broken something by now. I am touching wood here, but I have never actually broken a bone ... well except for a March/Stress fracture in my foot which flares up occassionally, whereas my sister has broken bones several times, most lately 3 wrist breaks in 4 years

It really does amaze me, when people on here disclose some of their medical problems, just how many are suffering from great pain daily and have such complicated medical problems. On a light hearted note though, we all still rush out for a glitch :rotfl: :rotfl:

Like Zippy I don't understand the calculations? Surely it's £1.39?

sorry my bad, yep £1.40ish. Still a great price if, like me, you buy it anyway and can stock up, and makes up your 8 basket items.
Sorry got Albanian Rose brain, tastes like cats pee but does the job :rotfl:

Tonight is the first time I have done a specific targeted Adsa shop. I didn't think about the total potential voucher being a problem but now I'm worried! I bought 6x red wine and 12 x rose wine in the hope of getting a price match voucher from Asda. Hopefully I will get a voucher but do you think I will struggle to spend it without drawing attention to myself?

Hmmmm. That's gonna be a big one! I would probably try it on clothes so not to draw attention to yourself around the food tills:)

Just noticed Huggies Pull Ups are £2.75 each ... or 2 for £9 on A.com and A on MSM ... what's the likelihood that T will compare or that A will overcharge??

I've got it wrong, but I can't remember what it was exactly but it was something to do with the amount of cash Apple had with something to do with U.S. debt or something or other.

What isn't so well known is that a lot of that cash is held overseas and if they try to bring it back to the U.S. Uncle Sam will hammer them for the tax on it. Apple (and other large corporations) have been lobbying the Government to relax the rules for a few weeks to allow them to get their overseas cash etc back to the U.S.

One rule for them and another for the ordinary wee business man on the street.:(

I see on twitter "wish I was American" and when I ask them why you get all the usual excuses about how it's great and cheap etc etc. I then point out that "it's only cheap because they have a lower standard of living than us which results in lower wages. Only 17% of U.S Citizens have a passport. Lack of housing means millions of people live in trailer parks - it's real life, not just the movies, and as for your free hospital treatment, when you walk in to a hospital over there their first question isn't "where does it hurt?" it's "how will you be paying?" and all this from a country whose answer to gun crime is to let people have more guns" They soon change their minds, only the thickest of the thick refuse to see the bigger picture.

Wow, I don't know if you knew, but Apple has been in a big court trial against Samsung, with Apple accusing Samsung of copying it's products. It's been going on for some weeks, and the Jury just announced their verdict that Samsung is guilty, and awarded Apple $1,051,000,000! Yep, that's one billion.
