    I drop in here from time time, but I find it so hard to keep up and I'm just not tough enough :cool:

    My apologies if this has already been mentioned but in the new mrT mag there is a voucher for £1 off the MrT's dairy cooks ingredients range, these are on offer for 2 for £2 at the moment. MOC valid until April 29th.

    These two are 4 for 3 in s so won't compare. You need the invisible instead of the nivea men as they don't do it in s for it to compare

    Thank you savemenow, makes sense now :doh: There are different prices in the Sains 4 for 3, so if you get 4 that are in the sains offer they will all come back N/A! So I have sent people on a wild goose chase :(:o

    I'll go back and edit my post - For the pearl to compare with Sains you will need 3 pearl plus one not in Sains offer, or an invisible trigger eg the empty bottle.

    I'm sure you are right. I need a holiday already! :D MSE was always my 'me time' and my lack of presence on here reflects exactly how little of that I have at the moment :(
    I owe a huge amount to the lovely community here and think of you all often, even if I don't get online to ;)

    I agree logie about the community here. The amount of kindness I've been shown today by many people on here :A ( you know who you are ) is amazing. Cannot thankyou all enough xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Thanks for your kind words TS,

    I learnt this morning another reason mum was so anxious to get this xray. I knew 'something' had happened a couple of weeks back when My Mum was out with Dad but only got the full picture today. I don't think she had wanted to tell me too much. I think they were in a supermarket car park, and some bloke reversed out and hit into them both, knocking them both right over, but i think Mum ended up on Dad so didn't take full whack of tarmac, although it's not something Dad needs either. They both walk using a stick. :eek: Some kind man came out of his van with a first aid kit, but wasn't really needed as no broken skin. It seems the guy who hit them was in a hurry to get away, and almost hit them again when he rushed to get away. :eek: Not accusing anyone of anything, but the guy had purchased booze. :cool: I asked Mum if they had got his number, but they said they were both so frazzled by it they didn't think at the time. These added aches and pains have been since they were knocked over. :(
    She had the replaced hip x-rayed, and the other side too just to be sure. Thankfully no bone damage but who knows what else it could have done when someone is quite frail like they both are.

    I have to add.....
    FC, you are a rock. Hope the oh perks up again soon. :A
    Logie - take care and don't over do things. :A
    Hugs to anyone else who needs them today. :A

    What an awful thing to happen to your parents Elsie :mad:

    I'm trying to have a calm afternoon today. DS2 dozing on me at the moment so I'm enjoying a rest and cuddles :)
    ♥ Worrying does not empty tomorrow of it's troubles.... it empties today of it's strength ♥

    May have been worth trying the Pearl anyway as should have gone through at £2.20 (if not, you could change your mind at the till) - you could then go to CS for a refund of the overcharge and £2 giftcard ;).
