    Hi all,
    Been awol again due to work, and desperately trying to catch up, still have 30 x 40ppp to go:eek: Speed reading with attached skimming:D, so once again I apologise for the lack of thanks:o

    DS2 has been ill for the last two weeks, a severe case of tonsillitis, and four days in, loads of mouth ulcers. After a week of over the counter remedies failed, I sent him to our GP on Monday. He came home with steroid tablets to put on the ulcers, not a good thing to give someone with a raging throat infection. I sent him back on Tuesday as he was in so much pain. He saw another GP who prescribed Difflam mouthwash, and again, no treatment for the tonsillitis:eek: I took him back today cos he is still unable to eat anything, and talking and swallowing is agony for the poor lad. I went in with him to see the GP, (yet another one!), and after I pointed out that he hasn't had antibiotics for twelve years, and that he has been suffering for two weeks he was given antibiotics. I just wish that he'd been given them on his first visit. He has had to miss college and work, though he did go to work on Sunday, but was so poorly they sent him home.
    He is as white as a sheet and has lost nearly a stone in weight:eek:

    Anyway, that's my moan over.
    I'm off to catch up now while I'm waiting for my friend to Skype me. It was the funeral of her dd's partner today, nearly a month after he died, so her dd will need lots of support.

    No Boots or T's bargains for me as I have so much stuff already. Garage tetris was required today, and freezer tetris is planned for tomorrow to make space for some M&S goodies.Thanks to some lovely, kind peeps here (You know who you are :A:A:A:T:beer:)I have some leaflet vouchers to go with the Greenredeem ones. I was meant to go today, but time got away from me. I may drag DH with me to act as bag carrier tomorrow.;)

    I hope you are all well, and happy. Sorry if I've missed birthdays, good news, achievements etc, so have a hug to everyone that needs, wants or deserves.:D

    One question for Snap-ant, how do you mark your photos with your name and the date please? Numpties guide needed:o

    See you later when I've caught up

    Maybe they bought in T?

    Neither of you were very detailed. (Just saying it did or didn't work) :p

    Sorry, yes, I bought in Tesco.

    Has anybody tried the chicken glitch at morribobs which is posted on 10 ways?

    From what I can see only one person (the op) got them at that price, everyone has reported them scanning full price.

    Guaranteed! Right, that's the evening shopping done:), I am now to catch up (as long as my internet connection allows me). Some 'interesting' w0mble receipts, I'll wait and see what, if at all, they deliver once the time is up. No 50p items on them:T:T, even though those were advertised on the side of the store and on the instore radio service. I used my other store tonight, where the 50p items it seems are nearer the back - see what difference a change of store makes?:):question:

    Also - not one of the interesting ones - they bought three items... plus 6 different Cous Cous:T. That's the way they should shop! I like that they are 50p each (fussy b00ger, me) and that they are an even number in total. I shall see, if that leads to anything. Oh- just noticed, this receipt is 'a little old' (but still within the 28 days).
