    Aww, that's a shame :( How are you feeling about the impending emigration now? Did I remember correctly that her OH is going ahead first?

    How is your DS doing now too?

    Thanks for asking.
    Yep, her OH is going 25th Feb, then she should be going when they've got the dog sorted. I'm not looking forward to it at all.

    DS is feeling a bit better now radiotherapy effects are wearing off. Appointment next week with oncologist and MRI, so hoping for good news. His fits havent increased since before christmas so thats a good sign :rotfl:

    Meant to say. I was busy cutting a ring off my finger at about 7 this morning lol. This ring had lost a stone so while I was in town yesterday tried to get it off and take it to a couple of shops who buy gold. It was also a bit small as I have quite big knuckles not fat fingers lol.

    Anyway I could nt get it off and managed to make my finger sore and swollen. So during the day yesterday I tried cold water, Vaseline, butter, cream and nothing would get it off.

    When I was in town today one shop offered me £16 ( knew I wouldn t get much as gold s not worth much at the moment wouldn t you know). The second shop offered £19 and the third shop where I got the ring from in the first place second hand offered me £12 :eek: a young lad trying it on not the owner who I usually deal with.

    I just came out with your having a laugh and mentioned the other two prices so he weighed it again and decided he d price match lol. I said to him ask the owner if he ll give me £20 for it and he did :) it's surprising how the shops differ considering they just weigh them.

    I'm sure it'll be a big wrench when she goes :( At least these days you'll be able to Skype to still see them. Fab for holidays too :)
    Glad your DS is feeling a bit better. Will keep my fingers crossed for his scan results x

    It's amazing what you can cope really. A good friend of mine has children aged 6,4 and 2 and is due her 4th next week. She home schools the two eldest too and intends to only have a 3 week holiday when the baby arrives before continuing her curriculum :eek::T

    I just printed the Actimel one of these, but when I went back to print a different one, they were all greyed out saying I'd already printed.. I hadn't.

    Looks like they have changed it, and you're only allowed to choose one :(

    Sign up again Fuzz, using a different email address, selecting a different coupon from the sign up page. Do this for each of the 5 coupons.
