Thanks to westvleteren & laacaz for testing multi buys.

Snowed last night and still snowing. Colleagues and public all being difficult today - roll on home time.

Big hi to all, hope you had a great weekend, if not, hugs.

Just jumping on quickly to let you know that today in Ts I picked up some fairy platinum all in one dishwashing tables, 40s, for £3.25. Nicely timed as I got a £1.60 moc in the post this morning. It is likely to be store specific as these packs are old stock but worth a look out just in case. BC 384129. HTH xx

We have glorious blue skies and the suns glare off the snow is dazzling

Like snow when it's like this.

Ummm - emailed Tosco Home Panels asking why I haven't been invited for a trial for ages, got a reply saying

Tesco Home Panels has a large amount of applications each month, so in order to make the system fair, on a random basis throughout the year we check to make sure all our existing panellists meet the same criteria as our applicants. Unfortunately the last time we checked we found that your details no longer met our criteria.

We apologise for any disappointment that this caused, but if you would like to become a member again, we can put you forward for the next recruitment and we can re-check your details against our selection criteria.

Doesn't look like they think I spend enough money

There was no SEL which is what drew my attention to them in the first place ;-)

Just back from doctor's after my funny turn yesterday. She checked my blood pressure 3 times, listened to my heart and checked the pulse in my neck. she has booked me in for an ECG, fasting blood test and a 24 hour blood pressure monitor. She said bp is very high and she wants to check these things then see me again. I am having ECG next Wednesday, blood test following week and blood pressure thing from 8th to 9th April ( as our surgery only has one machine for 12,000 patients. )
She told me to rest, eat little and often and drink plenty of water or squash. I discussed the Mum situation and she said I need to just cut right back or have respite for her. So I am now going to have lunch and sit on settee for rest of the day.
