    Had a text from Tinyshoes this evening, she is camping in Wales, and asked me to post Hi to the Welsh elite ....she is at Coed Hills, Vale of Glamorgan. :)

    I hope her tent is waterproof, it's piddling down :(

    Tell her if she's wet she can camp in my shed :D

    It's around 5 miles away from me

    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.

    I'd heard about the court case and I'd been following it on twitter through a twitter account that tweets about apple related things but I hadn't heard what the outcome was.

    What made me laugh was Apple had somehow got their hands on Samsungs 'working notes' and all through the book were notes saying "make more like iPhone but don't make it look like were copying them":eek::eek::rotfl: I think that book alone was the final nail in Samsungs coffin.

    Of course Samsung will contest it and contest it again. Apple won't see any of that money for a long long time yet.:( And there's a good chance that Samsung will get to cough up in installments over the next 50 years or so.:(

    She didn't sound exactly over the moon about it, they got stuck in traffic, and she said it was really muddy..... plus missing out on a wine glitch is never good.

    Hopefully they enjoy it though, start doing a sun dance everyone in Wales! :j

    Just reading back so sorry if already been mentioned found this regarding the petrol promo:

    Receive 5p Fuel Coupon when you spend £50 or more in store, or spend, and have delivered, £50 or more of groceries between Friday 24th August - Sunday 16th September 2012 inclusive.
    http://www.tesco.com/groceries/zones/default.aspx?name=petrol-promotion
    So it appears to have started already.

    Yep, seems so, as there were signs up at Tesco petrol station when I filled up today. Also seen it promoted in adverts on TV tonight!

    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:

    :rotfl::rotfl: Even for DTD glitch on a meal deal on the day we get rushed into hospital :eek::p:p:o:o:rotfl::rotfl:Kept me going while I was in there though ;) Being out of control of the shopping budget for over a week was torturous! But then I was rewarded with OEP :D:D:D:D

    :kisses3::hello:Hello superwoman, I have missed you :A xx

    Please don't put your pain down as insignificant!! :eek::naughty: I'll get my naughty wagging finger out for that ;) You've had it hard with your pains, I know you have, you're just modest whereas I'm a drama queen :o:o:o:o:rotfl:Requiring tramadol 4 times a day means it's not 'nothing' :A

    Corrr an injection in your heel sounds agonising. In all my pains, and all my time in hospital, the one and only thing that really creeps me out is the thought invasive procedures on joints, just the way the bones move and the cartillage....ickkkkkk.....it's like nails on a chalkboard for me! Blood, guts, anything else, I'll deal with it!

    I'm glad that you haven't broken any bones, that's the way it should be :A Carpel tunnel I know is apparently very painful and is becoming more of a common ailment :(:(

    Sorry to hear about your sis and her complications due to prednisolone too :( I was diagnosed with asthma when I was a child but it was never serious and I seemed to just grow out of it. I have also been lucky and haven't broken a bone yet either. I fear, as with your sister, that once I do, it will just be a matter of time til it breaks again. With any break, bones are much more liable to breaking again but with Osteoporosis, it's almost guaranteed! :eek: Your poor sis breaking her wrist 2 times! :eek::(

    I think I need to write a medical handbook :o Fudge's sparkly guide to medicine! :rotfl: I thought I had a blood clot in my leg last week, I couldn't walk and the pain was exactly the same as when I had it before. Now I have a rock hard bruise, swollen like an egg next to my shin bone and been told it's inflamation of the varicose veins caused by my blood clot before :mad::mad::mad: I just blinkin hope it goes before next month, I've got a wedding and I'm wearing my designer dress I've been saving for a year or so ;););):cool:

    Been thinking of you lovely lady :) xx Hope you and the girlies are doing ok xx

    I've just got a voucher for £12.13 for the wine. I bought 18 bottles though, 6 red and 12 rose so I'm not sure how this works out in terms of cost?

    I usually just use Tesco but am now happy to have an alternative to try and save money from.

    Thanks to all who post on this thread for your fab advice!

    Thanks for the heads up. Went through tcb and used the discount code that pops up.:T

    Your welcome, they are lovely fitting jeans, and just the right length as well.
