    Savvy.Are you preparing for another accident or to be ill.Paracetomal,Elastoplast and Flu Max:D

    I thought I'd come straight back here having seen this!!

    No!!:rotfl: I'm just stocking up - getting the Elastoplast as I hadn't so far got it in the currency of T's offer and about a week now to go (sort of leisurely, planned shopping, taking my time - leaving items (apart from that silly ham(!)) for other comps later where other rivals are on offer on other items I need) - we were running low of Elastoplasts before tonight, down to last pack and half of it used up, forever cutting myself (no cuts on my recent accident BTW) but you know what I mean - the usual, general stuff, just paper cuts (they can quite hurt though!) or little bumps, usually some growing skin on part of one of another of my fingers that I feel compelled to pull off (eek!!).

    Similar with the Paracetamol (I can't take those at the moment as my prescribed tablets say not to take with paracetamol), but we were down to about 4 or 5 Paracetamol tablets in the house and you know they will be needed at some point in the future for an 'emergency' (or not quite as drastic as that, but you know what I mean) here and there. Noticed the flu max was still going £2.00 vs 55p for T on msm.co.uk and I had never bought that, but thought - given S&Gs not being bought - that's a good return from my spending of APG vouchers to buy the shop with - why buy a £2.00 item that's £1.85 in T, I thought? Why not use the last £2 of that voucher on something that gives £1.50 back onto your new voucher!?! So I did - we hadn't got any flu remedy but always good to have one around.

    Okay - you'll be [Strike]pleased[/Strike] disappointed to know (eek!) there's some other posts queueing up in my queue to answer them later - so yet more inane waffle of no consequence or usefulness to follow soon.

    In one word, bilge. Why use one word when you can use seven!??:D!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Well be careful with that flu stuff too Savvy, as that will no doubt contain paracetamol too (but you already knew that :) )

    Just saw it and OH called to say he also saw a meteor. Then received a nasty email from my sister ( who is now abroad on another holiday with her friend)saying my daughter is not ill and needs to stand on her own 2 feet. She says she is selfish and its her fault Mum is in respite care. I am now sitting her crying because no matter what I do its never enough. I replied that it was so kind of her to send a nasty message to me just as I was going to bed and a few other things I could not say on here.

    (((Hugs))) Rose..... what you do is ALWAYS enough, I know by the way you write your posts on here that you do as much as you possibly can.

    So how can that possibly not be enough? You are a :A

    I think I saw the ISS but not sure, it's the first time I've looked. It was a white blob that went downward in the sky and appeared to have a 'tail' ? It was only there for half a second.

    It was 11.01 on my iPhone.

    Was that it or did I see a UFO lol
